Hi Andy
Many thanks for this. I'll look in to what you say and see if this'll
work for us.
On the CLA licence, yes you're right . . . if our scans are used year
to year we report this re-use to the CLA and if not needed year to year
we'd remove the them from the e-reserves.
Kind regards
Marion

On the Blackboard side, look at the settings in SysAdmin > Content
Collection > Settings > Copy Settings
The blurb starts "Select from the options below to control whether
permissions to Content System items are updated when a user copies a
course or organisation."
The setting you want is "Update permissions for Content System items and
folders, including those in e-Reserves"
This works for us, because we have course templates from which the new
semester's courses are created.
Whether it works for you probably depends on how your new courses are
created - it should work if the new courses are copies of the old ones.
Otherwise, you've got to update the permissions on those CLA scans each
year.
Mind you, that's probably what the CLA would want you to do.
I'm not directly involved in the administration of the CLA scheme, but
is there not a requirement that these permissions are renewed each year?
i.e. scans are made for course X in a specific academic year, and should
not automatically be extended to all future cohorts.
all the best
Andy

Subject: Using ereserves in Blackboards content system
Hi
Does anyone use Blackboard's content collection e-reserve who might be
able to help with this one?
The Library here are using ereserves to store scans of published
materials scanned under the Copyright Licencing Agency's scanning
licence.
We have scans that teaching staff want to carry over from 2008-2009
courses to the current 2009-2010 courses and which were originally
stored in the the course e-reserve folder for 2008-2009.
These don't transfer automatically to the 2009-2010 ereserve folder but
what we'd like to know is -
can this be done?
and if not, are links to scans in the 2008-2009 ereserve folder still
active from the 2009-2010 course?
and if so, what will happen with these links when courses roll over to
the next academic year?
Any help very gratefully received
Thanks
