Congratulations to our August Library of the Month, Okanagan College!
Posted 19th August 2025
Each month we select a Library of the Month to honor libraries who have been using our library technologies in interesting and innovative ways, from creating well-curated reading lists with Talis Aspire to driving usage of library content with Lean Library.
The winning library will be awarded a prize to share amongst their team or a donation to a charity of their choice as a way for us to say thank you.
This month’s winner is: Okanagan College
Okanagan College (OC) has multiple campuses located across British Columbia, Canada with a student population of 15,900+ each year. The institution is recognized for rich cultural diversity and academic support, and smaller class sizes with around 18 students making up each class.
We’ve awarded them our Library of the Month Award for August, as they are great advocates and long-standing users of Talis Aspire. They have also for using Talis Aspire in a very collaborative way – the library set up instructors’ reading lists at the beginning of a semester, showing how Talis Aspire bridges the gap between library and faculty.
We asked Roën Janyk, Associate Dean, Teaching & Learning Innovations at OC to tell us more about what winning Library of the Month means:
“OC Library appreciates being recognized as Technology from Sage’s Library of the Month. Our librarians and library staff work every day to connect educators and learners with high quality resources through Talis Aspire digital reading lists. As a result, our library staff can focus on making content available in an accessible and engaging manner, allowing our faculty and instructors to spend more time focused on teaching and supporting students in the classroom.”
