At the end of each academic year we roll over reading lists for modules which are continuing in the next academic year. This creates a copy of each list which is labelled with the new time year and semester in which it is used e.g. a Semester 1 2024 list will be copied over to Semester 1 2025.
When your list has been rolled over, you will receive an email to let you know that the new version is ready to edit and to link to your new course in Blackboard. If you notice that a time period for your list is incorrect, please contact your Academic Liaison Librarian.
Please do not create your own copies of reading lists for continuing modules. This can create confusion when linking to Blackboard, editing, and obtaining resources, and will break the links for any scanned chapters on your list.
Once rollover has taken place, all previous years' online reading lists will be retained and archived in the online Reading List system. Archived lists no longer appear in general searches of the system by most users, and can no longer be edited. They are still available on a “read-only” basis to Library staff through reports, List Owners (module convenors), and anyone with a direct link.
Once you list has been rolled over the 'Online Reading List (Talis)' entry in the Blackboard template for the next session will automatically link to the new version of the list, you just need to make the entry visible to your students.
If you have incorporated links to your list, or to specific sections of the list, in your Learning Materials you can copy these across to your new course. As long as you do this after the reading list has been rolled over they will automatically link to the new list. If you copy these before the new list is available you will need to relink them.
