The new division at SAGE that Talis sits within is called ‘Technology from SAGE’. In 2018, Talis joined the SAGE group as one of two SaaS acquisitions. It is my hope that you’ve hardly noticed the impact of the acquisition with no change to service levels, no degradation of the product, and no changes to the people at Talis who you have worked with in the years before the acquisition. I hope you have only seen evidence of the investment we are putting into the business to support their terrific team as they explore new ways that technology can enable teaching and learning on campus at a time of great pedagogical transformation. What a transformation from the experience I had going into the library at the University of York – with my paper reading list, scouring the shelves across floors for journal articles and book chapters, often asking members of the library staff to help me figure out where something was. It was a stark contrast to the much easier experience for students (and librarians!) using Talis Aspire today. We were discussing how to ensure SAGE’s content was discoverable in Talis Aspire and it was the first time I had the opportunity to really understand the product that almost all institutions in the UK use to manage their reading lists. I first met members of the team at Talis back in 2017. By Martha Sedgwick, VP Product Innovation, SAGE
