Talis is the system used by Victoria University to create course reading lists and ensure copyright compliance.
It provides a simple way for students to access all their readings in one place. Not all material must be included in Talis to be copyright compliant, but it is a good idea to use Talis for all your course readings.
Other benefits include:
- Easy integration with Blackboard
- Students get direct online access to material from the Library collection, including digital scans of physical items
- Staff can structure and annotate reading lists
- Students can track their own progress through the reading list
- Reading list items can be reused across multiple courses or different trimesters
- Easy real-time editing to quickly update readings lists
- Collaborate on reading lists with other staff
- Request material not in Library collection, library staff will arrange access
What must go in Talis for copyright compliance?
- Book pages
- Includes the digitisation of part of a page (sentences, paragraphs or sections)
- Book chapters
- Includes the digitisation of whole book chapters, as well partial book chapters (chapter sections, poems, etc.).
- Journal articles from print journals
- Includes an article or a partial article digitised from a print journal or from printed case law.
Materials accessible through the Library website with online access, such as e-books, online journal articles, or free web content, are not required to be in Talis. It is recommended that any resource a student is expected to read for a course be entered into Talis. Students benefit because they can access all readings in one place via Talis on Blackboard.
