Academic publisher SAGE Publishing has acquired Talis, a technology company, and its enterprise teaching and learning platform, Talis Aspire.
This acquisition marks an important step for SAGE as it moves SAGE's product portfolio beyond content-led resources into technology solutions that support teaching, learning and research in the higher education institution. This new move is in response to the evolving student, researcher, and library needs.
Talis has built a strong reputation as a leading software solutions provider improving student learning workflow and making life easier for academic libraries to manage thousands of course resource lists. Talis Aspire - a resource list management system (RLMS) - has demonstrably increased academic libraries effectiveness, by connecting faculty and students with key library resources. It enables the librarian to use the reading lists to make efficient library purchasing decisions. Talis Aspire is currently used by over 1 million students accessing over 500,000 resource lists at more than 100 universities in 8 countries.
Talis will continue to be run by its existing management as a SAGE company. As a result of the acquisition, SAGE will provide Talis with an enhanced global footprint to support further international growth.
