Online Course Readings Service to go live

Online Course Readings has concluded its project stage and is now being formed towards a fully-fledged service which is preparing to meet the Semester 1 demand for the digitisation of print materials on reading lists.

The decision to move to service status is a result of the project team having developed a proven and robust methodology for the timely production, under licence, of quality digital copies of print materials on reading lists for inclusion in the VLE. The decision was also brought about by a very healthy take-up of the pilot readings as well as the positive feedback received.

Requests and other enquiries are welcome and can be submitted via the service’s mailbox: onlinecoursereadings@leeds.ac.uk Priority will necessarily be given to items on Semester 1 reading lists for which the submission deadline is July 18th 2008. The Semester 2 deadline is November 3rd 2008.

Please remember the license is such that all materials for digitisation and mounting in the VLE have to be handled by the Online Course Readings Service.
