Resource List Workshops

Univeristy of Ediburgh LogoInterested in using Resource Lists @ Edinburgh for your course but a little unsure how to go about it. Or would you like to learn how to create lists yourself?  Come along to one of our demonstrations and workshops to hear more about how our service can work for you and have a go at using the system for yourself.

Two events are currently bookable this July via MyEd:

Wed 8th July 10-12pm, Main Library, Room 1.12

Thurs 9th July 2-4pm Main Library, Room 1.08

Sessions will include a brief overview of Resource Lists using Talis Aspire followed by a hands-on workshop. Attendees will be able to start creating their own Resource Lists and have the opportunity to find out more about managing lists using Talis Aspire.

Talis Aspire is a reading list system which allows course organisers to easily create, publish and maintain online reading lists. The system is currently used by approximately 60 HE institutions in the UK.

Any resource with a URL (web address) can be added to a list, including, books, e-books, book chapters, journal articles and videos. Course organisers can assign priority to list items (Essential, Recommended or Further reading) and add notes for students. Statistical data on list usage is also available to course organisers.

Our Library Learning Services team are also happy to come out to Schools to do group demonstrations or one to ones. If you’re interested in this please email IS.Helpline @ ed.ac.uk

More information on how to make the most of Resource Lists can be found on the Resource Lists using Talis Aspire webpage and the ResourceLists@Edinburgh Blog.

Send us your Reading / Resource Lists

Univeristy of Ediburgh LogoThe College of Humanities and Social Science is funding two student interns to work on uploading resource lists to Talis Aspire over the summer, so we are keen to have as many reading lists as possible submitted for them to work on.

There are two options for ALL Course Organisers creating NEW resource lists for session 2015/16

Option 1. Create the resource list yourself using Talis Aspire, include the additional information requested by the Library and publish your list by *7th August*. The Library will then review your list and process any e-reserve requests, course (print) reserve and book recommendations.

Option 2. Send your reading lists to the Library by *13th July*, provide the additional information requested, and the Library will process any e-reserve requests, course (print) reserve and book recommendations and hand the list back over to you for publication.

Existing Talis Aspire users are asked to review and republish their lists by *7th August* and to use ‘Note for Library’ on Talis Aspire to provide the additional information required by the Library. The Library will then review your list and process any e-reserve requests, course (print) reserve and book recommendations.

NB: The above deadlines are for Semester One resource lists. We will circulate further deadlines for Semester two in due course.

Guidance on how to manage new and existing resource lists (using Talis Aspire) and the information required by the Library to process any e-reserve requests, course (print) reserve and book recommendations is provided on the website: http://www.ed.ac.uk/schools-departments/information-services/research-teaching-staff/resource-lists/using-resource-lists/overview

Due to demand we’ve scheduled a further two introductory Resource Lists (using Talis Aspire) workshops for academic staff this July.

The events are bookable via MyEd:

Wed 8th July 10-12pm ML 1.12: https://www.events.ed.ac.uk/index.cfm?event=book&scheduleID=15164

Thurs 9th July 2-4pm ML 1.08 : https://www.events.ed.ac.uk/index.cfm?event=book&scheduleID=15165

If you have any questions please get in touch: Library.Learning@ed.ac.uk

Resource Lists @ Edinburgh: Open Season

Univeristy of Ediburgh LogoLibrary Learning Services are now accepting reading lists for the 2015/16 academic year.

If you have a reading list that you would like to see transformed into an interactive resource list at resourcelists.ed.ac.uk we can do this for you!

While creating your list, we also provide you with a summary of the items on your list, books, journals and articles, with information on how many are held and at what locations. This means you can see in advance where additional materials might need to be ordered or moved into reserved/short loan sections of the library.

If you would like to send us your reading list there are a few important pieces of information that will help us provide you with the best possible service:

Required information for Resource List creation (PDF)
