On 14th June we will rollover Resource Lists from 2017/18 to 2018/19. Please do not edit your 2017/18 list after 13th June as any changes made will not be rolled over. Vet lists will be rolled over at a later date TBC.

What will happen when lists are rolled over?

*If* the course is running in 2018/19, rollover will duplicate your current 2017/18 Resource List and create a new version of the list for 2018/19.

On 14th June there will be two versions of each list (2017/18 and 2018/19).

• The 2017/18 version will remain ‘Active’ until the end of resits.
• On 19th August, 2017/18 courses will become ‘Inactive’ but lists will remain published and will still be accessible to students.

On 14th June, the current 2017/18 version will become READ ONLY, please make any changes for next academic year to the new 2018/19 version of your list.

Student access

Students will be able to access previous years’ lists either via the corresponding year’s course in Learn or via http://resourcelists.ed.ac.uk  (from August, they must select ‘ALL’ or ‘Inactive’ to find non-current years’ lists).

Please don’t unpublish 2017/18 lists.

Can’t see the new 2018/19 list after rollover?

• If you can’t see a new version of your list after rollover, let us know. Course organiser information comes from central systems – we realise that the people teaching may not always be identified here. Let us know and we can provide access.
• If the course availability has changed (eg the course will be taught in Sem 1 instead of Sem 2) let us know.
• If a course hasn’t been confirmed for 2018/19 it may not rollover on 14^th June – if it’s confirmed at a later date, let us know and we’ll copy your 2017/18 list.

If you are no longer teaching on a course, if there have been any significant changes to a course or list or if you have any questions, please email Library.Learning@ed.ac.uk

Updated! Add items to your resource list

The way to add new items to your list looks a bit different. This is how it works:

1. Click on the blue + button in the panel at the top of your list.
2. A panel will now open on the right:

Now you’ve got three ways to add items to your list: Search, Create, and My Collection.

Search

This is where you search DiscoverEd; once you’ve found the item, you can simply drag and drop it into your list:

Or, you can:

• Click on the item
• Choose the section from the drop-down menu
• Click on add

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Create

If you need to create your own citation – if it’s something not held by the Library or available online – then you can use this option.

Type in the details, pick a section from the drop-down menu, then click on add.

 

 

 

 

 

 

My Collection

My Collection is where you can store and organise your personal collection of resources (ready to add to your lists).

This works in pretty much the same way as the search option:

You can drag and drop an item directly into your list.

Alternatively, you can click on an item, choose which section you’d like to add it to, then click add.
