Talis Prism FAQs

How will Talis Prism benefit my organisation?

Talis Prism will provide your library with an attractive, modern and flexible OPAC. It will increase the success rate of users' searches, thereby increasing use of the library's stock and reducing pressure on library staff.

What is the price of upgrading to Talis Prism?

Unlike other vendors of next generation OPACs, Talis is keeping the cost to a minimum. The cost for existing Talis LMS customers for this new product is an one-off installation cost of £2,000, which will cover the establishment of a data store, some initial customisation, and the set up of the process for updating holdings information. There is a service provision charge of £350 per annum for resilience and high availability.

How can I get enrichment data into my catalogue?

Enrichments can be added into your catalogue, including book cover images, summaries, tables of contents, reviews, author biographies and awards, for more details please contact sales@talis.com.

Will we need new hardware?

Talis Prism is a hosted service and as such should not require any further hardware. Your ongoing hardware needs should also diminish, for example - smaller servers, as less data is needed to be stored with you. All of your data will always remain exactly that - yours. For more info about your specific requirements, email sales.

How is the Talis Prism interface customised?

Talis Prism uses standard web tools to customise the look at feel. These include Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) and are easily amended. If you require any assistance with this configuration, the Talis Consultancy team would be pleased to assist.
