Introduction
To ensure that your Talis Aspire Reading Lists are visible to academics and students, many of our universities use Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) to lookup and link to a reading list from the item in the library catalogue.
For a detailed explanation of APIs, please see our Talis Webinar on APIs
Examples of library catalogue integrations
This short video introduces you to some examples of reading lists being shown in library catalogues. All the links in the video are mentioned below.
Members of our community have shared examples of where they have successfully used APIs in their catalogues.
University of Brighton - ESS Prism
University of Derby - ESS Prism
Examples of how linking to reading lists look to students can be found in the University of Derby catalogue
Aberystwyth University - Ex Libris Primo
Aberystwyth University added calls to Talis Aspire's item linking API to their Primo interface in two different places.
