Talis support
Library support for creating and managing copyright compliant course reading lists with Talis Aspire
About Talis Aspire
Talis is used by Victoria University of Wellington to create course reading lists and manage copyright compliance. Students can then access these lists via Nuku.
The University reports on copyright compliance to Copyright Licensing New Zealand (CLNZ) based on Talis reports.
Course Coordinators are responsible for setting up their course reading lists (this can include links to online materials, electronic journals and database articles from the Library’s subscriptions and digitised materials such as book chapters). Your school may provide support staff for this task. Contact library@vuw.ac.nz to arrange access.
Talis support and training
The Library team have created an online guide to Talis Aspire and a series of short Talis Aspire instructional videos to assist academic staff.
Contact the Library or your subject librarian to request further support or training.
