Aten Design Group announces the kickoff of the Library Learning project with Reaching Across Illinois Library System (RAILS).
Library Learning, or L2, is an event management and resource directory used by over 2,000 libraries across the state of Illinois. For the next generation of the L2 platform, RAILS (railslibraries.info) chose to work with Aten Design Group (aten.io) in order to leverage the Intercept event management system (libraryintercept.com).
In the 21st century, libraries have been undergoing a sea change. Libraries are more than a warehouse for knowledge, they are event-driven community centers. Intercept was designed to address the need to provide complete event and resource management for libraries. It was built by Aten in partnership with Richland Library (richlandlibrary.com) and the Knight Foundation (knightfoundation.org); Richland describes Intercept as “an event management system for libraries, by libraries.”
“More of What You Love”
Intercept is a free application that uses Drupal (drupal.org) and React (reactjs.org) to create personalized, rich experiences for attendees. For libraries, it manages rooms and equipment and collects valuable feedback that can be used by library staff to craft even better events.
Intercept is free to download and install, it carries no licensing fees because it’s completely open source, and it can be plugged into any website running Drupal 8.
Ongoing Partnership
Alongside an ongoing, long-term partnership with Richland Library, the new L2 project with RAILS renews Aten’s commitment to supporting libraries and continued development of Intercept.
RAILS is slated to launch the new L2 platform in the latter part of 2020.
