Press Release: Southern Cross University selects Talis Aspire
Southern Cross University is described as a vibrant, contemporary, research intensive Australian public university with campuses located on the North Coast of New South Wales, and the Southern Gold Coast, Queensland. It attracts over 15,000 undergraduate and postgraduate students from over 80 countries.
Alison Slocombe from Southern Cross University commented, “At Southern Cross University, we are impressed with the flexibility that the Talis system offers to staff, enabling them to structure reading lists in whatever way best suits the course content, and providing a one-stop shop for unit resources. With the addition of the Digitised Content module, the management of copyright compliance for the University is made into a simple and transparent process for all staff. Talis Aspire streamlines the whole list-creation process, easing some of the pressure on Library staff at very busy times of the year.”
