Last week we held one of our regular Talis Aspire Days designed to let non-Talis Aspire users learn more about the system directly from experienced customers, helping them to shape their business case, implementation, roll-out and longer-term success plans. These are small, informal events with time for everyone to contribute, ask questions and network.
On the 24th and 25th of January, we co-hosted Talis Insight Asia-Pacific 2019 with the Queensland University of Technology at their Gardens Point Campus, Brisbane, Australia. It was a great event, with two days of sessions from Talis users, library leaders in Higher Education, and updates from the Talis team. We saw attendees from across 12 institutions in Australia and New Zealand.

Thank you to Judith Keene, University Librarian at the University of Worcester for contributing to this post. The University of Worcester have been working on specific issues with student satisfaction over the last couple of years, having identified gaps in reading lists as a potential reason for a negative student experience. They implemented Talis Aspire and with the hard work of the library teams, have seen their student satisfaction scores increase year on year.
We spoke to Edyta Krol, Academic Support Librarian at the University of West London (UWL) to find out about their journey with Talis Aspire. Although the story begins with challenges, the team’s hard work now means they boast a 98% list coverage across all modules. In this post, we reflect back over the last few years and look forward to the plans for the future.
