Course reading lists (Talis)

Edit list readings

Click on the three vertical dots next to a reading to open the edit item menu:

To edit the information about a reading (such as title, date, URL, and more), select Edit

To delete a reading, select Delete

To add custom text for an individual reading (for example to provide reading instructions), select Note for students

• Note: you can also use Add Paragraph to create a text block to set reading expectations or other instructions for students

Edit list structure

To edit the location of a reading or section in your list you can

• move individual readings a short distance by clicking and dragging the double arrow next to a reading 
• move entire sections by clicking on the three dots to the right of a section and clicking Cut. When you move your mouse you will then see the option to paste section anywhere in the list

Anytime you edit a list a yellow banner will appear:

Click Publish to ensure any changes made to a list are visible in Nuku

If you are using the same list and in the same trimester as last year you do not need to do anything as the list will automatically rollover. Just check your list is how you want it and click publish.

• Note: you do not need to copy your list or create a new list - doing so may mean links to digitisations will be lost

You will still need to attach the list to your course in Nuku - see Display list in Nuku (Canvas)

If you are reusing a list from the previous year but in a different trimester, you will need to edit your list details.

You can also reuse a past list. Search for the list in Talis

• if you can not find a list it may have been archived - please contact your Subject Librarian
• if you can find the list, it can be reused for the current year
• In either case, the list will need to be attached to your course in Nuku - see Display list in Nuku (Canvas)

First change the applicable time period (trimester and year):

• Open the list
• Click on Edit > Edit list details

• Under Time period open the dropdown menu and select the appropriate option

When reusing a list make sure to check for any print digitisations - you will need to re-request any past digitisations as they will have expired:

• Click on the three vertical dots next to a print resource
• Click on Request digitisation and fill in the form

You can also choose to invite additional users to manage the list (note: only one person can be the list owner):

• Open the list
• Click on Edit > Invite list publishers
