Your Community needs YOU
After last month's record breaking performance, we have continued to operate at 400% of our normal operational capacity, having processed 9.3 million records this month to date. Our pre-work in expanding and scaling Talis Source is paying dividends.
The contributions keep coming thick and fast so thank you for contributing and let’s keep them coming to make this another record month. If you are having difficulties in contributing, then please contact holdings@talis.com.
If you are a Talis customer, then let us help ease the burden of contribution. We will automate the whole process for you and of course, the script is free, the service is free and it is free to contribute your data. This script is deployed and operating across 40% of all Talis Customers.
For other libraries with:
Heritage systems - we can convert data on your behalf based on your normal data export.
Dynix systems - we are talking to people who are actively contributing to Talis Source to gather information and code snippets to pass on to others to help in the process.
DS customers - there is a script available from the DS Helpdesk that when run produces the data submission.
LinkUK users - we can convert the normal contribution file on your behalf.
Of course, there are other systems out there and we would be keen that libraries using those systems can also contribute to the community. If you are a user of a system we haven't mentioned, and you have a method for contribution, please contact us at: source@talis.com, and perhaps we can also share this information? Of course, the plaudits are for those that pass on the information.
And in the true spirit of providing an architecture of participation, all conversions and submissions are free and having contributed, don’t forget to claim your free resource discovery and free access to Talis Source.
And finally.....
We will soon pass the 100 millionth record processed for contributing to Talis Platform, and we are about to process our 50 millionth record in 2006. Which means that you can search and view nearly 50 million records and holdings in Talis Source.
Many thanks for your continuing support.
