Reading Lists: Guide for Copyright Staff

This status is commonly assigned when an instructor requests a digitization from a work that Langara Library has in electronic format. 

To process these requests in TADC:

1. Click the Requests tab in the menu at the top of the page. Navigate to the digitization request and click the three vertical dots under Actions. 
   
    
2. Select View details. You might now see this Request Referred message on the left side of the screen:
   
3. Click Accept and select either:
   • Source from electronic copy if the digital version meets the instructor's need* OR; 
   • Source from print copy to proceed with attaching the digitization.

* Note: It is more fair to the rights holder to link to the electronic version of a work, as it does not result in a new copy.  

The Publisher role in Reading Lists allows users to edit readings and assign ownership to lists. If a work is available electronically through Langara Library, Publisher's can add the permalink to a reading. 

To add a permalink to a reading:

1. Search for the reading list on the Reading Lists (Talis Aspire) homepage. Select the list from the predictive text.
2. Navigate to the reading. Click the three vertical dots to the right and select Edit. You will now see the metadata for the reading.
3. Navigate to Add field: Select Web address from the options and click Add. You will now see a Web address field.
4. Paste the permalink into the Web address field and click Save.
   

Note: The DOI field sometimes serves as the default link for a reading. You may need to delete the DOI field temporarily to set the permalink as the active link for the reading.
