Talis Aspire and Talis Elevate

Talis Aspire is the reading list management application used by academic staff at Herts to directly embed digital learning resources into Canvas modules. It also supports our Information Managers in planning and making library acquisitions that meet the demands of our evolving academic programmes. Talis Elevate goes further by allowing students to annotate, comment on, and engage collaboratively with selected resources.
