Simple searching for easy research

Aspire is a new service from OCLC PICA. Initially focused on further education libraries, Aspire offers a unique federated search interface at a price your library can afford.

What is Federated Searching

Known as metasearch, cross-search, broadcast or federated search, your electronic resources and library catalogues can be searched simultaneously through one interface and results are brought back to the user in a single result set.
