A note on copyright restrictions
Access to this material should be granted only to students enrolled in your course, and it will be available only for the semester in which it is requested. If you need the material for a different semester, you will need to submit a new request.
Please refer to our copyright guide for more information on using copyrighted materials.
If you have questions or concerns about copyright contact resourcelist@douglascollege.ca and we can work on it together.
Step 1: Have an item in a Talis Aspire list you would like to digitize.
Step 2: Click on the three vertical dots on the far right of the item in the list.
Step 3: Select “request digitization.”
Step 4: Fill out the fields of the pop up as best you can. Be sure to de-select “This is a full chapter” if it is only a portion of a chapter or a work.
Step 5: Press NEXT once you have finished filling this half of the form.
Step 6: Fill out this final form with date you are making the request as your start date, and the end of the semester as your end date. The needed by date is a week from the date you are making the request. For the number of students in the course, if you are not sure just input the maximum number of students that may enroll in your course.
*Note: If you see a message after pressing submit that says that your request will need to be manually processed by a librarian, this is normal.
It should not take more than a few working days to fulfill a request, depending on how much material there is to digitize. Once we have done so, you will receive an email from our staff with the details of your request. If everything was OK then there will also be a link to the content that has been digitized for you as well as the date it will be available.
Once your digitization request is complete, you will receive a link to access all the materials you requested. To ensure access, the material must be linked within one of your Talis reading lists. Students and faculty will need to log in with their CNA credentials to view the content, both on and off campus
