Tutorials

Aspen is incredibly customizable. No two Aspen sites are the same. Because of this, we don't provide canned or out of the box patron videos. The great part about Aspen is that users find it very intuitive and easy to use and should not need videos to understand navigating and searching Aspen. If you do want to highlight special or new features in Aspen, we suggest making short (1-2 minute) user videos using your new Aspen catalog.

We do have a sample script to go over some of the talking points you may want to include in your video(s):
