NTU CourseReserves is NIE's new course readings management system and copyright compliance tool. It is comprehensive and dynamic, and allows instructors to create links to library resources such as journal articles and books/ebooks, digitised book chapters, as well as freely available online content.
With NTU CourseReserves, you can easily ...
While we cannot guarantee that an online reading list ensures all your recommended reading will be online, wherever possible we will link it to an electronic resource. If you recommend a particular chapter within a printed book which we already own we may be able to scan it and offer that as a link, if it is covered by the Copyright Licensing and Administration Society of Singapore (CLASS) license.
For books covered by CLASS, a maximum of 10% or one chapter of a book may be scanned for teaching purposes. There is no restriction on copying from books which are out of copyright. For journal titles covered by CLASS, a maximum of one article per journal issue/part may be scanned for teaching purposes.
NTU CourseReserves’ integration with NTULearn provides a reliable resource access point for students and staff. And by collecting course materials in one location, users have fewer barriers to finding (and re-visiting) key resources. This can save time when it comes to citing sources, as well as when creating syllabi for future courses.
NTU CourseReserves reduces staff’s need to rebuild course lists each semester and provides more ownership over the course materials. Faculty can also collaborate with colleagues on lists for similar courses. Since NTU CourseReserves is directly linked to Alma, our Library Services Platform, library staff are able to process course materials faster while making workflows more transparent.
