How do I make my reference(s) available in my MyUni course?
This lesson will show you how to make your reference(s) available in your MyUni course. It is for those staff who have already lodged their reading list or individual reference(s) to the Library's Digital Resources Management Centre (DRMC) for entry to the Online Content Database.
Receive Notification from DRMC
You start with the notification received from the DRMC. This may be an email notification for individual items you have requested to be logged by the DRMC or email notification that your reading list has been added to Online Content either in part or in total. You now have to activate these files as follows:
Select the area of your course in which you want your reference(s) to appear
Log into MyUni and locate your course and choose the area you want your references to appear. This may be:
(1) Course Information
(2) Course Materials or
(3) Assignments.
However it can be any area where you are able to add content. We have chosen Course Information for this tutorial.
From the top RHS drop down menu choose Online Content
(1) Choose "Online Content" (2) Press the "Go" button
Ensure the Basic Search is selected
Use a string of keywords to find your reference
(1) Use a string of keywords from your reference and
(2) Press Search button
Please Note: If search results are not accurate enough, try a search using an extract string from your reference using quotes e.g. "Statutes common law"
Locate and activate your reference(s) from the search results
(1) Locate your reference and
(2) click on the "Activate or View Details" link
Make your reference(s) selection
Check it is the reference(s) you want and click the "Activate and Add" button.
Indicate the dates you require the reference(s) to be available
(1) Use the calendar to accurately identify the dates you need the reference(s) to be available then
(2) Press the "Activate and Add" button.
Adjust Content Information if desired
(1) Do not use the "Update" and "Modify" buttons. They are for use at a later stage rollout of the Online Content Database. Their functionality has been removed until that time.
(2) Description: Here you can modify the citation description should you desire. Please be careful of the HTML coding
(3) Options: One of the benefits of Online Content is it manages content visibility for you. Set your "make live" dates accurately in the previous step and the Online Content database will automatically with-hold access until the date you require. So leave the content visible setting at the default of "Yes".
(4) These availability dates are set by the previous step and there is no need to change them.
(5) Submit Button: Press when ready.
