Resource type: database
There is an entry for this under 'Bookmarking', but we would like to have Database as a Resource Type. Academics often want to refe students to resources at the Database level (Westlaw, Land of Lost Content, British Standards)

Could you add 'report' as a another resource type when adding resources please?

Poem, short story, extract as resource types
For our humanities academics these resource types would be a useful addition.

Mark/Tag an item as OER
It would be beneficial to identify all Open Education Resources (OER) items on a Reading List for reporting purposes. This could also be a great selling point for TALIS, as there would be minimal cost for students to utilise those lists with all or majority OER items. If there was some way to tag these items, instead of searching against URL's/ISBN's/Titles in the All list item report, this would be a great time saver.

Blog post as a resource type
Please could we have 'Blog post' (and 'part of: Blog') as a 'Resource type'? Having to list blogs as 'webpages' isn't quite right.

Resource type: DVD
Could DVD (and maybe other audio-visual resource formats such as CD-ROM) be added to the list of resource types?
Our health and sports science academics often include them on reading lists and would like them to be clearly differentiated from books.I think this would be much more meaningful for students using the lists than 'audio-visual document'.
Although you can specify 'dvd' in the format field, this isn't very prominent on the page.

Resource Type - 'Newspaper' (or similar)
We're conscious of the risk of mixing up format and type, but both for the purposes of distinguishes materials within a list (and for citing those materials correctly) we'd like to see a Type which describes 'articles' which are not peer-reviewed academic journal articles, but news stories or discussion pieces in newspapers, magazines and professional or trade publications.

Creating a Harvard reference for a website
One of our academics has asked the question Can the necessary fields needed for creating a Harvard reference for a website be added to the Resource type – Webpage bookmarking page? They don’t have to be compulsory fields, but they would act as a prompt to add in details like the author and date.
2 votesHi,
For us to explore this are you able to share the type of details from the Harvard Reference that you would want displayed?

Resource type: Other
However extensive the resource type taxonomy becomes, there will always be fringe cases, exceptions and oddities. At present, the only options in such cases are to select the least worst match or the unfathomable 'Generic document'. An 'Other' category would be a more preferrable means to classify non-standard materials (and could be used for reporting/review to identify the types of material not being fully accounted for)

Resource Type - Event
We're seeing academics add materials to resource lists which are effectively temporal 'events' of some kind which students are expected to attend (physically or virtually) as part of their research.
'Events' could incorporate Exhibitions, live Webinars, Lectures, Screenings, Seminars, Conferences, Plays, Training sessions, et al

Resource Type - 'Social media' (or similar)
We've not been able to identify a better label for this, but are open to suggestions. The intention is to distinguish blog, forum, social media and web 2.0 type content from 'traditional' Web Site and Web Page types. It's the difference between referencing material on the BBC News site and referencing a debate on an internet forum, or the discussion which follows a blog post

Academics quite regularly add Reviews and review articles (from academic journals, professional publications and newspapers) for students to critically evaluate.
