Lists are linked to courses and to the 2015 time period

How we created contentWe started creating lists in July 2014 in preparation for go-live for

Semester 1 2015.

Two teams: ▪ Acquisitions team, working from course profiles ▪ Digitisation Services team, working from courses with digitised

readings

What they have achieved as at end January: ▪ 1,920 lists ▪ 23,140 unique list items

Information Services | Information Management | Content and Discovery Services | Enabling Technologies

We are migrating some 5000 digitised readings from Equella.

Digitised Content

Information Services | Information Management | Content and Discovery Services | Enabling Technologies

We are using the Blackboard building block this year, linking on course code only.

Next year we hope we will be using the LTI integration.

Two stage implementation: 1. Reading lists without digitised readings 2. Reading lists with digitised readings (from Equella)

From Talis Aspire (manual exports) ▪ All lists report ▪ All list items report

From Millennium (scheduled export) ▪ All bib records with 950 B9 tag

Talis reports are merged, compared with Millennium records, and a brief dummy marc record is created for each distinct record. Additions, changes and deletions are catered for.

Marc record may have multiple 950 tags, one for each unique list that it appears on.

Integration with Library System (Millennium)

Information Services | Information Management | Content and Discovery Services | Enabling Technologies

Records are loaded into Millennium using a load profile that matches on local bib number and replaces 950 B9 tags only.
