The privileges have been granted in order that you can \u00b7\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 advise on copyright compliance in relation to PDFs uploaded to Blackboard, where necessary \u00b7\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 provide updated links to scans made available via TADC \u00b7\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 add links to online Reading Lists on Blackboard modules, if assistance is needed. Once enrolled on a course, you have Instructor privileges, but clearly you should limit your activity within the Blackboard course to Library-related matters, and should not make changes to a course without having discussed this with the Module Convenor or other member of the teaching team. The Library Liaison role is assigned at \u2018domain\u2019 level. In most cases this equates to a School, except in SPEIR and SACD where each Department has a separate domain. This means that you are able to search for and enrol yourself on any Blackboard course categorised as belonging to that School or Department. Searching for courses Go to the Admin from the Blackboard menu. You have limited access to admin functions. The only area you need at present is Courses. The course search defaults to Course Name. Enter your search terms and press Go. The search automatically truncates \u2013 so a search for \u2018develop\u2019 will automatically return results for \u2018developing\u2019. \u2018development\u2019 etc. You can also \u00b7\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 search by Course ID (i.e. Programme or Module code) \u00b7\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 change \u2018Contains\u2019 to \u2018Equal to\u2019, \u2018Starts with\u2019 or \u2018Not blank\u2019 (this will bring up all courses in your domain) \u00b7\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 restrict your search to courses created before or after a certain date \u2013 useful if you want only courses created for the current academic year. There is no advanced search facility, but you can sort search results by any of the column headings e.g. by course name, course code, or date created. How to Self-enrol on courses Having found the course you need, click on the course ID to go to the course. You will now almost certainly see some kind of warning or error message \u2013 don\u2019t panic! Simply click on the Quick Enrol button below the course menu. You will see a pop-up message \u2013 click OK. You are now enrolled on the course, with instructor privileges. &nbsp; Changing your role in a course The most appropriate course role for non-teaching staff is actually Teaching Assistant, but \u00b7\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 the Quick Enrol option always enrols you as an Instructor \u00b7\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Instructor is the only course role which gives you editing control over Talis Reading List links in Blackboard. If you do want to change your role you can do this by going to Control Panel &gt; Users and Groups &gt; Users. Find your user record \u2013 use the search box above the user list, remembering to change the default \u2018Not Blank\u2019 to \u2018Contains\u2019. Hover over your username, and click on the chevron to get the contextual menu. Choose Change User\u2019s Role in Course. Select the new role from the list and press Submit. You are able to change your role from Instructor to Teaching Assistant and vice versa. To remove yourself from courses Simply click on the Quick Unenrol button below the Control Panel. You will see a warning message: In most cases there is no problem saying OK \u2013 this will not delete any content you have uploaded to the course, or Talis links you have created. It will anonymise any contributions you had made to Discussion Board forums, Blogs, Wikis, Announcements etc. &nbsp;","thumbnail_url":"https:\/\/sites.reading.ac.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/30\/2021\/08\/2021-07-29_16-28-22.jpg"}
