About The Project

Marmot has been working on their open source Pika Discovery Layer since 2009. Pika was created to address the needs of patrons by solving several common usability issues: all formats of a work are grouped together, patrons can serendipitously discover titles to read next, and all functionality works on any size device with responsive design. Pika is available to all Marmot members as well as Discovery Partners that work with Marmot.
