  • Updated description of TALARIA (Output 2) from

    TALARIA is a new open-source resource-sharing management software, which has been developed under the frame of the European project HERMES Streghtening Digital Resource Sharing during COVID and beyond. HERMES has produced, besides the new software, a new publication (Document Delivery and Resource Sharing: Global Perspectives, edited by P. Collins, IFLA Professional Reports series, in press.), open educational materials and free training courses for librarians, university students and researchers to provide high quality, fast and free access to knowledge through the development of specific skills on the topic of digital resource sharing. HERMES was conceived to reinforce the RSCVD (Resource Sharing during COVID-19) initiative of the IFLA Document Delivery & Resource Sharing Section. RSCVD is based on the voluntary contribution of a hundred librarians around the world, who worked with the tools available at that moment in order to share documents held in their libraries with the world academic community. It was the first experiment in free digital resource sharing worldwide. HERMES project aim is to develop a new resource sharing management software suitable to support the RSCVD initiative, as well as any other resource sharing library communities in the world and to bridge the gap among existing resource sharing communities and consortia in the world. During the design and development process, the exchange with RSCVD volunteers and librarians has been very important: they have been involved in testing the software to collect feedback, make improvements, detect and correct bugs in order to build reliable, user-oriented software. Additionally, along with the release of the new software, distance training activities have been organised and software guidelines and User’s tasks has been published to support librarians in their daily resource sharing workflow. The Talaria of Mercury (Latin: talaria or The Winged Sandals of Hermes Ancient Greek: πτενοπεδιλος, ptenop´edilos or πτερόεντα πέδιλα pter´oenta p´edila) are winged sandals, a symbol of the Greek messenger god Hermes.
