Subject Materials

The Subject Materials service is provided by Swinburne Library to assist staff to make copyright material available online for student access.

Staff submit their list of essential resources for student access to subjectmaterials@swin.edu.au.

Include

  • Unit Code(s)
  • Full reference details
  • Instructor name(s)
  • Semester X, 20XX
  • Week each resource is required

Please include all bibliographic information possible in your citations, ie author(s), date, parent title, title of article, title or number of chapter, volume and/issue, and page number.

Under Swinburne Copyright policy all staff are required to use the Subject Materials service to make copyright material available via their subject pages.

Staff must not scan copyright material and place it into a learning management system themselves. There are limits to how much material can be made available online and by using Subject Materials Library staff can ensure all the copyright requirements are complied with.

Library staff then issue staff with a URL link to the item which staff can then place in Blackboard. In this way students can be provided with direct online access to resources through both the Library Search and their subject web page in Blackboard.
