There is a list of what HEIs use for reading/resource lists on the SCONUL
Higher Education Library Technology (HELibTech) website
http://helibtech.com/HE+Systems+Review
It doesn't look comprehensive though--all should feel free to update it.
There is also a separate entry on Resource/Reading list
http://helibtech.com/Reading_Resource+lists
This includes a reference to the June edition of CILIP Update which had a
couple of articles on Reading/resource lists (and disclaimer too--one was
written by me).
Please feel free to update 'HELibTech' to share your findings.

Victoria,
I'd suggest posting your question to the recently established
READING-LIST-SOLUTIONS JISCMail list
(https://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/cgi-bin/webadmin?A0=READING-LIST-SOLUTIONS) -
there are Talis and LearnBuild customers on there, but also people who are
developing their own solutions, using Open Source solutions, integrating
with their VLE etc. And of course other people looking at the various
alternatives.
There have also been a couple of events recently that looked at Reading List
software - I've blogged the 'Reading List Hackday' organised by UKOLN at
http://www.open.ac.uk/blogs/telstar/tag/devcsi/, and there was a session on
Reading Lists at the most recent 'Innovations in Reference Management' event
which I blogged at
http://www.open.ac.uk/blogs/telstar/2010/06/21/reading-lists-and-references/
- this relates the experience of a Talis Aspire customer, a LearnBuild
customer, and the TELSTAR project at the Open University which uses an
integration between Moodle and RefWorks to publish reading lists in the VLE
(disclaimer - I was the project manager)
Hope this helps

Subject: Reading list management software
Hello
Here at the Robert Gordon University we are investigating reading / resource
list management software.
We wish to explore a full range of suppliers and possibilities and already
have a couple of names on our list i.e. Talis Aspire
(http://www.talis.com/aspire/) and LearnBuild
(http://www.learnbuild.com/index.html).
We would be interested to know if you know about or use products from any
other supplier.
Thank you in advance
