Academic Staff - Reading List: Editing a reading

Editing a Reading

Academics have a restricted access to editing Readings. This is to prevent changes to citations / page numbers on a reading that might also be used by another unit.  Rather than changing page numbers, a new reading will need to be added.

Once a reading has been submitted, academics can change a reading from REQUIRED to OPTIONAL or vice versa. 

An academic can also add Student notes at any time.

Files/PDFs can be replaced.  We ask that a file only be replaced to provide a more legible copy. 
Links can be changed if the original link has broken.
All changes are verified by Library Staff before being approved

Any other editing, such as citation/spelling please contact the Reading List Team on highusecol@ecu.edu.au and they will be able to do this on your behalf.

 

To change these fields, click on the edit button, as highlighted below

 

The next screen should appear like this:

Click on the arrows in a square shape to edit the reading.
The World icon will take you to the Reading.

Here you can change the reading from Required to Optional, or Optional to Required.  You can also add Student notes.  Press Update once these details have been changed.

 

Change reading link / file

This is for changing a PDF if the quality of the scan of the original is sub-par.  Please do not use this to change the file to add different pages, otherwise this will be rejected by library staff.  You can add a new reading if you wish to add more pages.

To change the file, click on the File button, as indicated below.
A box will appear for you to choose a file from your computer.
Once you have chosen your file, please state the reason for the change.
Then press Update. 
This will be passed on to Library Staff to check before approving.
 

 

To change the link, click on the Link button, as indicated below.
Add your new link into the box provided.
Once you have added your link, please state the reason for the change.
Then press Update. 
This will be passed on to Library Staff to check before approving.

PLEASE NOTE : You can not change a PDF to a link - this will need to be added to the Reading List again due to copyright auditing.
