Talis provides a reading list management system called Aspire that is used by over 90 institutions worldwide. It currently manages 500k reading lists and 20m items. Talis is working on new features like seamless integration of eTextbooks into reading lists and a new student experience. They are also piloting eTextbook programs to deliver core course content digitally. Talis aims to address issues like digital content fragmentation by providing a unified platform for accessing different types of academic materials and analytics. Their goal is to improve the student experience through an integrated online learning environment.
