Reading lists (Academic staff): Retrieving data from Talis

This is a guide for academic staff

Talis Data

All data was transferred from the old Talis systen over to the new Leganto system on Thursday 28th March 2024.

Any changes made on Talis after this date will not have come across to Leganto.

Students will continue to use the old reading list system until the end of August; this will be the list appearing in the module area on Blackboard. 

From September, students will use the new reading list system and this will be the list appearing in 2024/25 Blackboard module sites. 

PLEASE NOTE: the old Talis URL we be redirecting to the new reading lists system from August. To access Talis, please click hereor copy the following URL into your browser: https://westminster.rl.talis.com/index.html.


Between April and the end of August 2024, you can access both reading list systems. 

You can continue to use your old list with students on the 2023/24 version of your module, whilst also preparing the 2024/25 iteration of your reading list on the new system. 

Access to the old reading list system ends in August 2024. Ensure you have saved everything you need: 

  • Any unpublished or outdated lists won't transfer to the new system. If you want to download your old lists, please follow the instructions below
  • Bookmarks will NOT transfer automatically. If you would like to export your bookmarks into RefWorks, please follow the instructions below

If you need help or assistance, please contact your librarian for support: AELD@westminster.ac.uk
