"Talis Group's other divisions provide a SaaS-based semantic web platform
and related applications including Talis Aspire, a resource list management
solution for higher education customers. We do not expect any disruption or
any change in the high levels of service that we provide to our Talis Aspire
customers."
from a TALIS email, seems to confirm your view Ken.

Subject: Capita Take over Talis Information
Capita take over Talis Information (i.e not the other parts of Talis Group).
So I assume the Talis Aspire (Reading list and discovery
product) remains with Talis Education in Talis Group
http://www.talis.com/applications/news_and_events/index.shtml
'Capita Software Services today announces the acquisition of Talis
Information Limited ('TIL'), a provider of library management software, for
£18.5 million.'
"Despite the changing landscape, libraries remain an important public
service. We expect to see an increasing shift online, or the consolidation
of physical entities that share their service delivery,"
said Ian Gates, divisional director, Capita Software Services.
