Welcome to the October 2019 Talis Product and Services Update
The new academic year is now underway, with all of the challenges it can bring. We have continued to ensure that we are providing you with a reliable service, check out this blog post for how we have achieved this. Accessibility has been a hot topic this month, being addressed in our Product Update webinar, as well as forming the subject of a Community-led webinar.
Are you considering New List Edit?
Adoption of New List Edit continues to grow, with 45 Universities now using it as the default for their tenancy. Do take a look at our New List Edit - Overview article which contains links to the growing collection of documentation we provide to support users. If you would like to enable New List Edit as the default for your tenancy then please raise a support ticket so we can liaise with you about this process.
What has been released this month?
- Some users reported they were having to click twice to save bookmarks via the browser extension, we have now released a fix which addresses this. If using Chrome, please ensure you are using Bookmarklet Extension Version 0.3.6. More information about the extensions is available here.
- In Talis Aspire when bookmarking sometimes two dates were getting captured - one published date and one copyright notice date. We have established tighter rules ensuring only the published date is used.
