Reading Lists for Current Modules

Every year the Library receives well over 1,000 reading lists. In order to process these as efficiently and effectively as possible in time for the start of the academic year, we ask that where possible, academic staff update existing lists rather than submitting whole lists to the Library. The deadline for reading list submissions ahead of the 2012-13 academic year is the 1st July 2012. Given the number of lists the library receives, if a list is received after that date we cannot guarantee that library materials will be in place for the start of the Michaelmas term. 

How to update an existing list

1. Locate your list via the current reading lists page. You will need to use yout CIS username and password to open the page.
2. Lists are grouped via module code. Click on the appropriate module code stem (e.g. ANTH for Anthropology) for your module.
3. From the resulting list, click on the appropriate module code.
4. When the dialogue box appears, click 'Yes'
5. Follow the instructions in the spreadsheet. You are required to update module information, list any additions to the module reading list, highlight any digitisation requests and mark any items that can be removed from the module reading list.
6. Save a copy of the spreadsheet by changing the file type to Excel workbook (*.xlsx) and making the file name the module code e.g. ANTH1234
7. Send the spreadsheet, which is now the updated reading list for that module, to library.resources@durham.ac.uk
