Course reading lists (Talis)

Information to help academic staff create course reading lists and manage copyright compliance.

If you can’t log into Talis to edit a course it’s possibly a dual profile error. This occurs when staff have had two University accounts i.e. student and staff, or they are a returning staff member.

How to resolve this:

  1. Go to the Talis homepage: https://victoria.rl.talis.com/index.html
  2. Search for the course you want to edit and bring up its homepage
  3. Enter this link into the URL bar and press enter:
    https://rl.talis.com/3/victoria/user_debug
  4. Copy the on-screen code and paste it an email to library@vuw.ac.nz. Do not send a screenshot.

The library will liaise with Talis to resolve the dual profile issue. The timeframe is usually 24 hours.
