Adding tags and notes

Adding tags

Tagging items in your list allows you to communicate important information about a resource with your students and the library. 

The tags that are visible to students are:

  • Prescribed resource: indicate to students which resources are prescribed for the subject.
  • Recommended resource: indicate to students which resources are recommended.
  • In-class resource: indicate to students that the resource will be used in class.
  • Class preparation: direct students to use the resource before class.
  • Assessment support: resources that will be assessable or support assessment, such as a 'how-to' video.

The tags available to communicate with the library (not visible to students) are:

  • Add to Reserve Collection: this tag will prompt the library to move the item to the Reserve Collection.
  • Scan for e-Reserve: this tag will prompt the library to:
    • Digitise a chapter for a book held in the library.
    • Request a chapter from another library for a book not available in our collection and make it accessible online.
    • Request a copy of a journal article that the library doesn't have full-text access to from another library and make it accessible online.

Steps:

  1. Click on an item in your list.
  2. Click Add tags and select the tags you wish to add to the item:
