For the University of Gloucestershire, Talis Aspire is much more than just reading list software. It is central to our Academic Strategy and is now part of a three-year Learning Design Programme. As the tool that brings together learning resources from a range of sources and embeds them into our Learning Management System, Talis is driving our ambition for every student to have access to a rich set of resources.
At the University of Auckland, Talis Aspire is a key component of our collections strategy. Recently we moved from just-in-case collection development to a just-in-time approach to developing our collections. We run daily reports to ensure that our purchases align directly with current teaching and learning at the university. This works particularly well for providing our undergraduate students with resources for their courses.
Talis Aspire is designed from the ground up to be accessed on a range of devices including laptops and mobile devices, from anywhere, at any time.
At Talis we build and support our systems in house using the latest technologies. Our system architecture ensures Talis Aspire is always available, no matter how busy.
Using our own dedicated User Experience team, Talis Aspire is designed from the ground up using the latest UX standards to ensure access and improved experience for all users. We aim for AAA WCAG accessibility rating wherever possible, and achieve at least AA rating.
Talis Aspire helps ensure that students can access their learning resources as cost-effectively as possible.
We do this by helping you maximize the resources already owned and licensed by the university. We also support the inclusion of 'free' resources on your lists (such as webpages, Youtube video content, Open Access resources).
Our specialist Talis Services Team is always there to help. Supporting you from the moment you start working with us and throughout your subscription, tailored to support your aims and needs.

Talis allows you to transform the student experience by putting resources at the heart of their learning. With a range of functionality designed to help students organize their study, Talis Aspire really is an essential tool.
Talis Aspire is a proven tool, streamlining processes and supporting teaching.

Doing things once in Talis Aspire and share anywhere. Add in annotations, citation styles, Learning Management System integration and analytics, and Talis Aspire becomes their one-stop tool for teaching/learning resources.
Libraries want to get the right resources to the right users, always with an eye on budgets. Talis Aspire is the bridge between what is being used to teach, what students need to access, and what libraries need to provide or support. Of course, Talis Aspire provides class-leading acquisitions, reporting, and copyright management workflows, but it is more than that. Talis Aspire helps to position the library at the heart of the teaching & learning experience for all users and stakeholders.
Modern management information dashboards, and access to comprehensive analytics, are further enhancing the role of libraries across their institutions and helping them to deliver against key strategic aims.
If students, faculty, and library are all benefiting from Talis Aspire, so is the wider institution. Talis has a key role in supporting a wide range of key strategic drivers, from cost-saving to student experience, retention, digital-first, Teaching & Learning, Open Access, and copyright compliance.
