The Circulation Patron Web (CPW) Catalog is a web application that displays the libraries eBook and audio-book collection as published by the circulation manager. The circulation-patron-web application serves as a way for libraries to view their collections on the web. A library must be part of a Circulation Manager and can be registered to a Library Registry. Currently, in order for a library to be part of Library Simplified and show up in the SimplyE application, they must register with NYPL's Library Registry. A Library Registry provides details about a library, and a Circulation Manager provides a library's collection of eBooks and audiobooks in OPDS format.
The circulation-patron-web app can be used for single-library and multi-library scenarios. The most common scenario may be for a single-library where the app renders the main library of a Circulation Manager. Alternatively, it's possible to use one instance of the circulation-patron-web app for multiple libraries, either from a single Circulation Manager or from multiple Circulation Managers.
The web application supports the following features:
- Authentication and Log in to Library Account (SAML and ILS)
- Links to Library Web library websites and pages (links configured in the Circulation Manager Library Admin Interface)
- Brand Configuration - Primary and Secondary colors and Logo (Configured in the Circulation Manager Library Admin Interface)
