  • BLCMP moved into using microfiche and later IBM mainframes with dedicated terminals at libraries in the mid-seventies and was one of the first library automation vendors to provide a GUI on top of Microsoft Windows to provide a better interface for end-users. The Integrated Library System was first called Talis. Talis became the name of the company during re-structuring and the ILS became known as Alto. In 1995 Talis was the first library systems vendor to produce a web enabled public access catalogue and has been first in many initiatives. They are the leading ILS vendor in the UK. Much of Talis' work now focusses on the transition of information to the web, specifically the Semantic Web and Talis are leading much of the debate about how this affects traditional libraries. See Library 2.0. Talis is majority employee owned and based in Birmingham.
