Today’s web-savvy patrons expect more from a library’s online catalog than simple bibliographic information. Patrons want the library’s catalog to be a virtual tour of their library.
Baker & Taylor’s Content Café can help give your patrons this enhanced experience. Content Café enriches your OPAC with full-color jacket images, full-text reviews from ten of the industry’s most respected journals, professionally-written summaries, informative tables of contents, and complete book details.
Content Café’s ever-expanding database holds more than 8.5 million data elements with new additions made daily.
Content Café offers access to jacket images for books, but it also has over 350,000 jackets for A/V material!

We switched [to Content Café] several months
ago and have not looked back.”
