Publishing your Semester 1 Resource List

Univeristy of Ediburgh LogoSemester 1 resource lists should be published before 7th August 2015 deadline to allow sufficient time for the Library to review the list and process any requests for scans and/or book orders.

More information on creating your own list and how to ensure you provide the right information for the Library to process your requests can be found on the Resource List created by Course Organiser web page.

If you published a list in 2014/15, you can use it again for 2015/16. To update and publish your list for 2015/16, follow the steps below.

Sign in to Resource Lists @ Edinburgh and go to ‘My Lists’.

  1. Click on the 2014/15 list. There will be a pale blue note at the top of the list saying ‘A newer version of this list exists in draft form. Click here to review’.
  2. Click through to view the new 2015/16 draft list. Click on the ‘Add to my Lists’ button on the top right of the screen.
  3. You should now see a new 2015/16 version of your list in ‘My Lists’
  4. The list will remain in draft until you decide to publish it.

Course Organisers are encouraged to review and revise their lists before publishing for the new academic year. There is a short PDF guide on how to review and revise your list(s), including information about book recommendations and E-reserve requests.
