With only 7 days to go until UnityWeb transitions into Talis Source, here
are 7 things you need to know about the changeover.
1. Every UnityWeb subscriber will automatically be switched to Talis
Source for free discovery from 19th May. You can register additional
users for free discovery at the website. The login page for Talis Source
will be at www.talis.com/source, so please bookmark.
2. Those choosing the £500 Talis Source offer (which incorporates the
requesting function) will get 2 weeks free access. The subscription
period starts on 1st June. Trials and subscriptions can be requested at

3. The software remains the same as UnityWeb with only minor cosmetic
changes to reflect the name change. No training is therefore required.
4. With the commitment to make one catalogue contribution in the
space of a year, comes free look-up of the bibliographic and holdings
database of over 41 million holdings in the UK.
5. By subscribing or contributing to Talis Source you are in no way
restricted in your right to contribute data or subscribe to any other ILL
service.
6. If you have chosen to subscribe to the OCLC Pica UnityUK service
you are NOT obliged to cancel your Talis Source subscription or remove
your contribution. Each individual library is free to make its own
decisions and subscribe/contribute to both if you choose.
AND FINALLY…
7. Talis Source is now out on release with three sites Hampshire,
Portsmouth and Cheshire. They will be sending requests your way, branded
as "Source" requests.
