The University of Hertfordshire selects Talis Aspire to improve student experience
The University of Hertfordshire has selected Talis Aspire to manage and deliver their online reading lists and copyright-cleared content services.
The online reading lists system will improve student experience through seamless access to resource lists and resources. Talis Aspire will be integrated with the KOHA library management system and Summon discovery tool from Proquest.
“It’s essential that student reading/resource lists are embedded and seamlessly integrated with all their learning resources within the Virtual Learning Environment (VLE). The Talis Aspire Learning Technology Interoperability (LTI) tool allows this high level of integration with the VLE. In addition, Talis will enable greater acquisition backend efficiencies, offer us greater value for money, and ensure effective and easier copyright compliance and reporting.” Graham Davies, Head of Academic Resources at University of Hertfordshire.
