Reading Lists: Key deadlines and communications

The deadline by which you need to submit your 2023-24 reading lists: 

Monday 26th June: This deadline is for all modules 

This deadline is in place to maximise the chances of the Library having necessary resources available for students in good time, as poor availability negatively impacts the student experience and NSS scores. 

Dear all, 

It is once again time for the Library to ask you to confirm your reading lists for next academic year. Lists for 2023-2024 are now available in draft form on Talis Aspire, and will only be visible when you are logged in to the system.  

Reading List Submission Deadline 

• Monday 26^th June: This deadline is for all modules 

List Length and Student Experience 

The University is asking that all staff consider the length of their reading list in line with the Information Resources policy. Student feedback indicates that long lists can be overwhelming, focused and well-structured lists can help improve the student experience.  

Support 

You can contact your Information Consultant with any questions that you might have. Information Consultants are also available for 1-1 appointments to provide more detailed support, these are available to book online.  

You can also use our detailed reading list guide for further information and guidance.
