Does your Moodle course contain PDF or Word document readings that may not be accessible, or links that don’t work off-campus?  Have you taken over a module and need help tidying documents into a reading list? Good news:  Teaching and Learning Services (TLS)  can help!

Teaching and Learning Services in the library manages both ReadingLists@UCL and the UCL copyright licences.  Given access to Moodle, or a list of readings, they can undertake a one-off project to re-create your reading list in ReadingLists@UCL and update your links and documents to be both copyright compliant and more accessible.

We will give you editing access and offer orientation training so that you or a colleague can take over managing your list once set up.

Contact readinglists@ucl.ac.uk and ask for a ‘Moodle Health Check’. Please note: we are very busy around the start of Terms 1 and 2 but we will let you know a timeline that accommodates our existing workload.

The rollover is complete! All your 2023-24 reading lists have been archived and a copy created for 2024-25, which you can edit straight away.

If modules are not running this year, please let us know so we can archive the list. This hides it from view to avoid confusion and also saves it for future re-use.

Over the summer you can prepare your reading lists for the new academic year: you just need to review, edit and publish!

Do my digitised readings also roll forward?

When your new list is created, the digitised readings (digitised under the CLA licence and added to your list by the TLS team) also copy forward.  There is a separate, behind-the-scenes process in July/August where the readings are re-checked automatically for the coming year. If your module is not running let us know so we can archive the digitised readings, ready for another year.

What if I or my students need access to the 23/24 version of the list?

If you ever need to refer back to your 2023/24 list for any reason please contact us using the email address below. We can recover it from the archive if necessary.

Training

Just as a reminder we also offer informal training sessions (either over Teams or in person), where you can refresh your knowledge of any aspect of ReadingLists@UCL with an expert member of the TLS team. Interested?  Please contact us using the email in the link below to drop us a line.
