Try BookAmor with Your Library’s Own Catalog
A free trial lets your staff test BookAmor in a real library context, with links pointing back to your catalog.
Libraries can request a free BookAmor trial simply by emailing us. We will set up the trial on our end, connect the Find in Library links to your catalog or discovery layer, and send you a private trial link for staff review.
There is no technical setup required before your team can take a look. We configure the trial so staff can try the patron experience, explore recommendations across formats, and see how BookAmor guides users back into your existing library systems.
Why Request a Trial?
BookAmor is easiest to evaluate when it is connected to your own catalog. A trial gives your staff a working version of BookAmor that reflects your library’s environment rather than a generic demo.
Staff can try searches, review recommendation sections, follow Find in Library links, and see how BookAmor can help patrons move from “I liked this” to “what should I try next?”
What the Trial Includes
A BookAmor trial can be configured for your library and your catalog, with the same core patron experience used by subscribing libraries.
🔗 Catalog-connected links
Find in Library links point patrons toward your catalog or discovery layer, so staff can test the handoff from recommendation to library record search.
📚 Multi-format discovery
Staff can explore recommendations for books, eBooks, audiobooks, movies, TV, music, magazines, newspapers, and video games.
👨👩👧 Adults and youth
BookAmor supports discovery for adults, teens, tweens, and kids, so staff can evaluate it across different patron audiences.
🌐 Multilingual interface options
Supported interface languages can help make discovery more approachable for patrons who prefer to browse in another language.
📊 Anonymous usage stats
Trial access can include an admin portal with anonymous activity reporting, including recommendation requests, catalog-link clicks, and guide downloads.
🖼 Promotional materials
We can provide ready-to-use graphics and copy if your library decides to share BookAmor with staff or patrons during or after the trial.
How Trial Setup Works
The trial is designed to be low-friction. You do not need to install anything before we prepare it.
Email us
Send your library name and catalog URL. If you use a specific discovery layer, include that link too.
We configure it
We create your BookAmor trial and connect catalog-search behavior on our end.
You test it
We send your staff a private trial link so you can test recommendations and catalog links.
We adjust if needed
If a catalog link pattern, display name, or language option needs refinement, let us know.
In most cases, a working trial can be created using catalog search links, without a direct ILS integration or holdings ingest.
What to Send Us
To request a trial, email us with the basic information we need to configure your library’s BookAmor link.
- Your library name
- Your catalog or discovery-layer URL
- The best staff contact for setup questions
- Any preferred public display name
- Any catalog search examples you want us to follow
- Any priority interface languages for your community
If you are not sure which catalog link to send, just send your main catalog URL. We can usually identify the appropriate search-link structure from there.
Clear Expectations
A trial is meant to show how BookAmor helps patrons discover possibilities and then sends them back toward the systems your library already uses.
BookAmor helps patrons discover
Patrons can start with a familiar title or interest, explore organized recommendation sections, and move across supported formats and audiences.
Your catalog remains central
Your catalog remains the source of truth for holdings, availability, requesting, borrowing, and patron account actions.
BookAmor does not replace your catalog. It gives patrons and staff a friendly advisory starting point, then points users back to your library’s live catalog environment.
