Course Resources @ AUT

A comprehensive how-to guide for Academics on using Course Resources
 

Follow the steps below to attach a copy of a book, article, or video to your list

Please see Adding Books & Journals Articles if the book or article you need digitised has not been added to your list yet.

 

 

A digitisation is a photocopy of part of a print book or a journal article

 

The library can scan a hardcopy from AUT's print collection, another library's print collection, or your personal copy

 

Request digitisations several business days before they are needed, so there is time to source a hardcopy

  • You will be sent an email notification when the scan has been linked to your list, or if your request is rejected.
  • The  button will appear to the right of the scanned item on your list. The link expires when the course ends.
 

 

There are limits on how much of a Book or Journal can be photocopied per course each Semester

 

These copying limits are stipulated by AUT's prepaid 'Universities Licence' from Copyright Licencing New Zealand.

 

Books                         One full chapter can be copied     OR      up to 10% of the total page count (which ever is greater)

Journal Issues          One journal article per issue         OR      Two articles per issue if about the same subject

 

If it is essential for more of a book to be photocopied, the limit can be extended:

 

If a book is Outside Copyright, or Out of Print, it can be exempted from these limits:

 

 

A digitisation request will be rejected if:

 
  • there is an existing, accessible, and legal eCopy available that can be linked to instead
 
 

 

Links to digitisations are only available during the semester/ term/ trimester they are requested for:

 
  • If a scan is missing from your list, re-request the digitisation to prompt the system to re-attach it
  • Access to a digitisation activates in the week before teaching begins, and expires in the week after exams end
  • To link the same digitisation to a different Course Resources lists → request a new digitisation on the other list
