Hi We have lists linking to multiple modules – this is obviously much easier for our academics to manage as they only have to edit 1 list as opposed to several. (we train lecturers to create their own lists in Aspire) However, this is causing huge problems with the TADC and is a very messy process to add digitised content to multiple lists. So, if you are planning to subscribe to the TADC in the future you need to be aware of this issue. Talis are trying to work on a solution for us but so far we appear to be the only library reporting this as an issue. Probably because we are not a mediated service.

We were hoping we could find out what other users have done in the situation where one list applies to several modules. Did you create one list and link it to the hierarchy several times, or did you create one list, copy it, and link each copy to an individual module? It might be worth mentioning here that we have decided to name our lists with the module code. However, we have lots of lists that apply to multiple modules. For example, the primary teacher training course here has one list that applies to all of its professional development modules (across all 3 years), and the business school has a module which has a special offshoot for exchange students (so there is a module BUSM4001 and BUSM4001e). We initially thought copying the lists might be best, as it seems to allow greater control over entering student numbers, etc. But we realised we would still need to get lecturers to update lists individually if we took this approach. Linking one list to multiple modules would allow updates to happen automatically, but we have some concerns about making sure student numbers are correct, plus this doesn’t work very well with the list name being the module code. We’re sure we’re not the first university to encounter this, so thought it would be worth emailing to find out what others have done. What did you do and how did you make your decision? We’re really interested in hearing your thoughts!
