Linked Library Service
With the Linked Library Service, we transform and publish your library’s data to the Library.Link Network. This helps drive local patrons to your library website even if they start a search using a commercial search engine.

Working with Zepheira, we turn your existing MARC records into Bibframe records. Those records are then published to the Library.Link Network, which is a service that exposes library data to search engines -- so that lots of people can discover it. When you participate in the Library.Link network, millions of items and billions of connections are made visible so that search engines can find them and patrons can discover them.

Novelist Select Enriched Linked Data
This is an additional service that further enriches your library’s linked data. This forthcoming product will use NoveList’s read-alike recommendations, appeal factors, and other reader information -- all of it linking readers directly to your library. Plus, NoveList is planning to make it possible for libraries to create custom content in LibraryAware (think book lists!) that will be part of the enrichment as well. If you are one of the early subscribers to the Linked Library Service, you’ll be first in line to add this future enrichment option. We expect it to be ready in mid-2016.
