Publish and update course reading lists

Any new items must have a bookmark record. This is then used to add a reading to your list.

Course reading lists in Talis Aspire are rolled over each semester so the readings previously used will already be included.

To add new items, you need to:

1. Locate the reading through the Library Search or on a website.
2. Create a bookmark (item record) in Talis Aspire using Talis Aspire tools: Talis browser extension (preferred) or Add a New Bookmark button in your browser Bookmarks or Favourites bar.
3. Add the bookmark (item record) of the reading to your list.
4. Move the reading to relevant location or section in your list if needed.

  The Talis Aspire browser extension is the preferred method to create bookmarks.
