It’s been 3 months since my last update and a lot has been happening within the Talis Prism 3 world during that time. We have seen a major new release which included Improvements in display of availability information, Admin Console beta release, New Stock/Prepared Searches beta release and the option for libraries to use their own hostname for Prism 3.

We have also seen a further 10 libraries launch Prism 3 to run in parallel to Prism 2 or as their sole catalogue, taking the total number of libraries running Prism 3 to 27.

Having implemented Google Analytics on all live Prism 3 tenancies at the end of March I thought I would share some of the statistics around Talis Prism 3 that are available to us.

During April we saw 104,961 visits to Prism 3 catalogues. A total of 668,306 pages were viewed and the most accessed catalogue was the Royal Scottish Academy of Music and Drama http://prism.talis.com/rsamd which had around 21000 visits. We also saw that across all catalogues Talis Prism 3 was accessed from a total of 86 different countries.

Google Analytics provides detailed statistics on a per customer basis which you can access by logging into your individual Google Accounts.

If you would like guidance in understanding and interpreting Google Analytics at your library or would like it installed on your catalogue please contact Imraz.Mohammed@talis.com

The Talis Platform will be undergoing maintenance between 07:00 – 08:00 on Monday 22nd March. The reason for this maintenance is to release the latest Platform software. It is expected that Talis Prism, Talis Engage and Talis Aspire will be affected and will be unavailable during this period.

Confirmation will be sent once the work is complete.

The ability to run Talis Prism 3 in parallel with Talis Prism 2 means that we are seeing more and more customers choosing to soft launch Talis Prism 3 in a beta or parallel running phase. We have seen that usage of Talis Prism 3 is falling into one of three categories.

Beta – Where a customer has launched Prism 3 internally to staff and selected users to gather feedback which is then used to make improvements

Parallel – This is when Talis Prism 3 is run in parallel to Talis Prism 2 giving users the choice to trial the new catalogue. This is usually by placing a link on the existing Talis Prism 2 homepage to Talis Prism 3.

Live – This is when a customer has replaced Talis Prism 2 with Talis Prism 3 and this is their sole catalogue.

Below is a summary of customers who are using Talis Prism 3 in one of the above categories
