Publishing and Maintaining Your Reading List
Once you have created your Reading List, you will need to Publish it for the material to become viewable to your students. To do this, click the Publish button at the top right of the list.
Where possible, this should be done by the deadlines specified for each term, which are communicated via email and can also be found on the Talis homepage and the Reading List homepage, to allow sufficient time for print and digital material to be made available for the start of teaching.
Once your list is published, it triggers two events:
- The list becomes immediately visible to your students
- A review request is sent to the Library to check the resources for availability and access, and to make any necessary purchases
The Library will of course work through lists submitted after the deadline, working through lists in date order. Items added will be reviewed in priority order (starting with Essential readings).
If you will not be able to meet the deadline, it is recommended that you use titles which are already available in the catalogue.
- The Library will contact you if there are any queries or issues with the resources on your list.
- The Library will confirm via email when the review of your list has been completed and to prompt if you have any important Library Notes to view. Please review these notes and check that you are happy with the list. Emailwith any queries.
You can make changes to or update your list at any time as your teaching and research develop. Again, please remember to publish your list after changes are made to ensure they are visible to students.
Lists are rolled-over annually in early May, and a new draft created of each one for the next year of teaching. The library will contact you when this happens, at which point you can republish the list, make any necessary changes, or notify us that the list is no longer required for that cycle.
Towards the end of Term 1, the Library will archive reading lists from the previous cycle to avoid confusion.
You can reach out to the reading list team at readinglists.library@warwick.ac.uk at any point if you need further clarification on how to maintain your list!
