Welcome to the Digital Resource Service
The Digital Resource Service provides access to digitised content required for teaching learning programs. As part of this service we
- check whether a reading is available from the Library’s electronic collections
- check whether a reading can be digitised
- centrally register anything digitised under the University’s copyright licence
- provide access to all readings through the Library Catalogue. (opens in new window)
All online course materials containing copyright protected works must be registered with the Digital Resource Service. To make a Digitisation Request use the Digitisation request form or email DRS@unisa.edu.au
eReadings
eReadings are the digitised readings that make up the digital reader for a specific course. Readings can include book chapters, journals and other print publications as well as links to eJournal articles, eBooks and content on websites.
eReadings are accessed via:
- The course eReader link on your course website on learnonline
- Searching Summon (opens in new window) for the course code and the word eReading i.e. (BUSS 1057 ereadings)
- Searching the Library Catalogue for the course code in quotation marks i.e.(“BUSS 1057”)
Access to digitised material is only available to University of South Australia staff and students.
Digitisation of print readers
All print readings are digitised as part of the University’s reader process. This ensures compliance with government legislation and University guidelines. See Document Services Student readers website for more information on the process.
Readings on CDROM
Readings provided to students on CDROM fall under digital copyright law and must be approved as copyright compliant by the Digital Resource Service before production by Document Services.
