Contribute to the Resource Discovery Revolution

Contributing is the process of supplying a copy of your catalogue holdings to the Talis Platform. Once you have made your contribution of data to Talis Source, it can start working for you.

Why should I contribute?

Provide us with a full catalogue contribution and you cannot only access your own holdings information, but the bibliographic and holdings information of one of the largest UK national union catalogues, free-of-charge.

Who contributes?

Nearly 200 libraries enjoy free access to the Talis Source bibliographic and holdings catalogue. The data is hosted within the Talis Platform, which is based on an open architecture that any service provider can use.

How do I contribute?

Contributing to the Talis Platform is simple. We accept contributions in a wide range of formats, and offer free technical assistance. For more information, refer to the Talis Source Data Contribution Guidelines (pdf file).
