University of Manchester chooses Talis

The University of Manchester, UK, has used Talis Keystone to integrate its library services within its campus uPortal.

Since the launch of the integrated service in March 2007, students have experienced immediate time saving benefits, according to Talis and the University of Manchester. Using the single sign-on capabilities of Talis Keystone, 35,000 students can now directly view their library account information, together with their email and course information, all within a single student environment. Students can also instantly view their latest five loans, along with all return and renewal dates for their items.

Steve Campbell, library systems manager at the University of Manchester, commented 'With Talis Keystone, uPortal displays instant library information to students, as soon as they login to their computer profile.'
