Welcome to your Reading List support page
Here you can find all the information you'll need to successfully create and manage your online reading list
This year the Reading List rollover will take place on Thursday 5 June 2025. As part of this process, the Reading List team will be copying 2024/25 reading lists and generating new 2025/26 lists. Please DO NOT make your own copy as this will lead to duplicate lists. If you have any questions regarding the Reading List rollover, please email libenqs@soton.ac.uk
The Academic Experience
How easy is it to request a digitisation for your list?
Reading List submission
Ensure your lists are published and sent to review in time for the library to order the necessary resources.
You need to allow a 6 week lead time to guarantee the arrival of new books for the new semester.
Reading List digitisation requests
The library offers a digitisation service for teaching material. Requests can be made from within your online reading list.
Once your request has been digitised, it's linked direct to your reading list for easy student access.
How much from a book or journal can I request for digitisation?
One book chapter or 10% (whichever is greatest) per book per module
Two articles or 10% (whichever is greatest) per journal per module
The service includes all necessary checks to ensure your requests comply with the University's CLA license; including attaching the necessary cover sheet, reporting to the CLA and all eligibility checks.
