Rollins College is partnering with Technology from Sage to implement Talis Aspire as their integrated resource list management solution at the institution. With this implementation, Rollins College hope to enhance the student experience by streamlining access to course materials, improve student research outcomes, and further their commitment to excellence in undergraduate teaching.
Talis Aspire is an online resource list management system which connects faculty and students to library holdings directly within their course resource lists. The system offers a holistic view of course material needs, with data on student numbers and item importance to inform acquisitions, aligning with Rollins’ goals of strengthening interdepartmental collaboration leading to more informed collection development. The library can better track and estimate course reserves spending, improving availability for students and combating student spend on course resources.
Derek Malone, Library Dean at Olin Library, Rollins College was impressed by the capabilities of Talis Aspire and how it aligned with the institution’s textbook affordability initiative:
“We are thrilled to bring Talis Aspire, a transformative tool that will revolutionize how we support teaching and learning, to Olin Library at Rollins College. With Talis Aspire, we look forward to enhancing our ability to make more thoughtful and strategic decisions around textbook purchases, ensuring that we align our investments with the resources our students and faculty need.
Additionally, this platform will provide a comprehensive view of Open Educational Resources (OER) already in use across campus, giving us a full perspective of our current status and opening the door for expanded adoption of these cost-saving and impactful materials. Talis Aspire will help us identify critical opportunities to supplement traditional textbook materials with library subscription content, ensuring students have seamless access to high-quality resources.
We are excited about Talis Aspire’s possibilities to advance affordability and accessibility in education while strengthening our commitment to student success. This is an essential step for Olin Library in building a more inclusive and resource-rich learning environment.”
This partnership marks an alignment with Rollins College’s strategic goals to make course resources more accessible and affordable for both the library and students. By putting the library at the heart of learning with Talis Aspire, Rollins is positioned to ensure that students have access to the course materials they need, as and when they need them.
