Full speed ahead
I wanted to find a picture to add a certain je ne sais quoi to this blog, a speeding train perhaps, but after a quick look at Flickr couldn’t find anything.
But anyway, back to the blog. I have the pleasure to inform you that the team here at Talis spoke to one of the 18 Dynix Classic customers that have agreed to contribute to the Talis Platform. Steven Heywood, a System Manager that has been contributing holdings to Talis for the last 13 years proved to be a great help.
It just goes to show that the concept of liberating data from the murky depth of library management systems to be freely used by all types of applications is really catching on. Further more, people are realising that it isn’t a pipe dream; it’s a reality and can be achieved today.
Using the expertise of Librarians, System Managers and the likes of Steven and Dave combined with the technical team here at Talis is proving a real winning formula. It’s great to see and such collaboration for the good of the whole library community can only be a step in the right direction.
As usual, if you would like to join in and help libraries liberate their data (the invite includes any library vendor themselves) or want to contribute your holdings to the Talis Platform let us know.
Thank you again Steven for your insight, it really is appreciated.
