The University of Derby has its origins in various educational institutions across Derbyshire, UK, dating back to 1851. It achieved University status in 1992 and is home to a diverse community of more than 20,000 students from the UK and overseas. Recently, Derby was named a Top 50 institution in The Guardian University Guide 2015.

Paul Cavanagh, Library Resources Development and Delivery Manager, University of Derby commented, “The Library’s aim is to provide a system which offers University wide automated compliance with the CLA licence, increased capacity for the provision of digitised content and seamless integration with the Talis Aspire Reading List application. Academics will have confidence when requesting and using copyright compliant content for module reading lists, reducing processing time and allowing the Library’s Copyright Clearance Unit to expand digitised content services across the University of Derby. The Library will make better use of its existing licence and improve student satisfaction through better and more flexible access to digitised resources and materials.”
