Emergency Cover Image Access for Content Café Customers

Syndetics offers complimentary cover image service for libraries affected by Content Café closure

Content Café subscribers can request free access to Syndetics cover images through January 31, 2026.

As of Monday, December 15, Baker & Taylor will close their Content Café catalog enrichment service—which may leave libraries without cover images and other essential elements for their catalogs. In response to this urgent need for images, Syndetics is offering all Content Café subscribers free access to cover images through January 31, 2026 to ensure your catalog images remain undisrupted and to maintain the look and feel that your patrons expect.

To request this complimentary cover image service, please reach out to us via the form on this page. We will then give you instant access to the Syndetics cover image service.

Transition support for Content Café subscribers

Once your Syndetics cover images are in place, we will work with your library to transition your remaining elements to Syndetics to ensure continued access to a robust, up-to-date and consistent catalog enrichment solution.

We are extending the following transition plan to Content Café subscribers:

• We will turn on access to Syndetics for the remainder of your existing contract term for no fee.
• Syndetics will provide the elements you currently receive.
• Syndetics will deliver a simple turnkey solution that does not disrupt the patron experience.
• Syndetics will offer a consistent pricing structure on a new contract.
