BEFORE adding resources to your list, you need:
awareness of resource 'Importance Levels' and Short Loan policy (see tab above)
awareness of what you MUST, SHOULD, and NEEDN'T add to lists (see tabs above)
Now, follow the instructions below to add resources to your list
Assign Importance levels to ALL resources so:
Books with high Importance Levels but no e-access are automatically placed on Short Loan:
Student Purchase = Prescribed textbook → placed on 2-hour Short Loan by Library
Essential = Required reading → placed on 3-day Short Loan by Library
Books with low Importance Levels but no e-access are placed on Short Loan by request:
Recommended = Advised reading → placed on Short Loan via 'Note for Library' request
Optional = Elective reading → placed on Short Loan via 'Note for Library' request
Librarians review which Importance Levels you have assigned to resources after you have finished updating your list.
Course Resources lists must include assigned:
Copyrighted / published:
REMINDER: It is prohibited to upload PDFs of copyrighted works directly to Canvas for students to download.
Contact the Copyright Advisor via ServiceNow if you are unsure of an item's copyright status
Course Resources lists should include any:
Resources not subject to Copyright
Resources that are Out of Copyright
Include these on your list so Librarians can ensure access for students
Course Resources lists needn't include:
Lecturer created / written Course Materials, as these are owned by AUT
Items copied specifically for examinations - these are exempt from copying limits
These can be uploaded directly on your Canvas pages
