Did you know that you can utilise other resources types to enrich the metadata on your online reading list ?

Talis (the reading list software provider) have enabled four new resource types : Database, Newspaper, Object and Report. Here is how you can use them –

Bookmark the item as usual, and if you need to change the resource type, click on the drop down under resource type –

In addition to the new resource types, there are also 6 new additional metadata fields which you can add to bookmarks. These are:

• Format
• Number
• Identifier
• Series
• Location
• Court

Additional fields options

If you feel there is a resource type or additional field that you would like added as options, please let us know and we will raise this with Talis.
