Back to Michael's original email. We've been running a centralised service ever since the trial scanning licence was released. We store our digitised readings on a server that runs our standard authentication system. So readings are not locked down to course level, but someone has to be a registered UCL members to gain access. The CLA have always been happy with this approach (their guidelines make specific reference to the sue of online reading list systems). We use Pack Tracker to manage our digital readings.
It's a simple approach, but it has always worked for us!

Interested in this as Equella is not necessarily our ideal solution but much depends on institutional policies.

Hi all,
A minor update on the Digitised Resources Project we announced at the user group, which you can see on the roadmap here -
http://support.talisaspire.com/entries/422000-talis-aspire-campus-edition-2012-roadmap-updated-january-16th-2012
and is defined as "intended to deliver the first phase of a new product development intended to help customers work with digitised materials, such as those scanned and mounted under the CLA license."
As Chris explained at the user group, the first step to this was to consult with customers and further validate the ideas we have. To that end, I know Chris and other members of Talis Education have been 'on the road' quite a lot over the last two months at either end of the country, spending time understanding the issues and workflow practices to better evolve the vision.
Chris is currently on leave for a few weeks, but we'll be looking to provide further updates on this research phase and any plans in the near future.
So, watch this space!
Have a great weekend
Ian
