New Reading List Software
We have now replaced our old reading list software 'Talis List' with Aspire. All existing lists have been moved to the new service.
Aspire looks much cleaner and has vastly improved functionality which will enable academic staff to create and manage their own lists from next session.
You can search for lists in Aspire from the Library homepage 'Reading Lists' tab or from the Aspire home page.
Existing links to Talis List from Victory units will still work, however the content is no longer being updated. Please update your links in Victory.
We are working on integration with Victory as the next phase of the Aspire project.
