 In 1995 Talis was the first library systems vendor to produce a web-enabled public access catalogue.The library of the University of Sheffield became the 50th customer to choose the Talis library system in 1996.During the first decade of the 3rd millennium, much of Talis's work focused on the transition of information to the web, specifically the Semantic Web, and Talis has led much of the debate about how Web 2.0 attitudes affect traditional libraries.
