Hi Kendall,

Yes. number of students will be recalculated.

Many thanks,

Hi Miriam,

I have a question related to copyright. In Australia we are required to report on the Target Audience of the communication (e.g. how many students we have made the item available to). Currently the copyright record records the 'Number of Students' based on the 'Number of participants' in the course. If we were to assign two courses to one reading list, would the number of students reflect the combined 'number of participants' from both of the associated courses?

Kind regards,

Kendall

Hi,
We have planned solution for DCS multiple links that we discussed with Kingston University and Imperial College.
Many thanks,
Miriam

I am also concerned about how this planned enhancement is supposed to work alongside the DCS for UK institutions, and have raised a SalesForce case with Ex Libris for advice.

Hi,

Thank you for your reply.
I would like to make sure I understand your requirement for multiple course to list(s) model with related to the DCS scenario.
You have a citation in RL1 that is associated with multiple courses.
In the DCS you have created those courses, and have the DCS extract associated per course (the extract will hold the same digitized file).
In Alma you need the ability to associate those multiple DCS extracts to the single reading list citation.
When student of course1 will access that reading list citation, clicks the DCS link, he should be presented with relevant DCS extract that matches his course (course1).
Student related to course2, should be presented with one DCS extract that matches his course (course2), etc.

Please let me know whether that scenario apply to you request?

Kind regards,
Miriam

hi

Our initial request was that we sometimes have a situation where one list may be used for several different courses (does that answer your first question?)

Regards to copyright - Philippa has done the documents to help you and spoken to some of your colleagues to explain it. I take your point that we wont be able to use the feature if we need single copyright records for each course but for the UK we do and I understood that you were working with the CLA on an integration?

At the moment we manage the situations like this with a manual workaround in the DCS which isn't something we should be looking to continue in the future.

So I think what I am saying is that the 2 seem to be at odds with each other (for UK). If you find a solution to the one list several courses problem you essentially are saying that we either cant use the DCS without a manual work around or cant use the solution you provide for the lists, neither of which is ideal.

Hi,

In order to view the file, you may need to save it first, and then to open it.

Could you please advise if the ‘individual lists’ is a need for the multiple courses? We assume that all lists in this model are shared.
In addition, please note that this feature is not supposed to help or solve the problem of multiple copyrights per one citation.
If multiple copyright records are needed, you will not be able to use this feature, and you will need to manage multiple lists, one per course.
As long as you can have a single copyright record per citation in a list, you are good with using this feature.

Thanks,
Miriam
