With a flexible structure, faculty can use Talis Aspire in a way that compliments their teaching. Save time - do things once in the Resource List Management System and share with other academics or reuse across courses.
Talis Aspire works with many Virtual Learning Environments or Learning Management Systems including Moodle, Blackboard, Canvas and Desire2Learn; and with Library Management Systems like OCLC's WMS and Ebsco's FOLIO, Ex-Libris' Alma, Sirsi Dynix's Symphony, and Koha.
Our aim is to provide access to fully copyright compliant content seamlessly within Talis Aspire resource lists. Use the Talis Aspire copyright workflows or integrate a third party solution.
250+ releases each year, 99.99% platform up time; and the very highest level of accessibility where possible (or an AA rating where it's not) - we are reliably excellent and proud to support nearly 1.5 million reading lists.

Our Talis Services Team is staffed by many former library and training professionals. They are there to support you and share best practices from our 100+ clients from the moment you start working with us.
Our thriving global Talis Aspire community is a great way to learn from shared experiences. We regularly hold webinars plus our annual Talis Insight and Teach Learn Collaborate Repeat events.
Talis improves the student experience in many ways: students like the easy-to-access online list format; lists are less daunting when organised into sections; content can be shared quickly and easily; students can see what is in the library and stop needlessly buying resources.
Faculty can use Talis Aspire flexibly, in a way that enhances their teaching. Doing things once in Talis Aspire reduces the burden of reading list admin. Annotations, integrations with your library and teaching platforms, and analytics also help academics do their best work and share their domain expertise.
Librarians are the unsung heroes of most universities. Talis Aspire provides acquisition, reporting, and copyright management workflows; helping librarians with the tools they need to stay at the heart of teaching & learning. With an average of 10,000 Talis Aspire reading lists per institution we can help reduce library admin dramatically.
