ILS independent
Encore Discovery works with any integrated library system. For example, Fairfield University (CT) wanted a next-generation discovery tool without having to change their ILS. Virtually overnight, they transformed the user experience while retaining their current technology platform. Same data, different front-end, real results!
Encore just felt right when searching it. We knew that its elegant design would elicit the same enthusiasm from our patrons.

Millennium Optimized
When paired with Innovative’s own ILS, Millennium, Encore Discovery offers functionality that other discovery tools do not: real-time, smart connections to library system data. Encore can display critical information to users about current activity in their accounts as well as providing personalized features such as community ratings, reviews, tagging, and My Lists. The direct connection to Millennium also means that all catalog and circulation information is up-to-date including current status of materials. When Millennium-optimized, Encore has a “right now” view of the library’s collection at all times.
