New eReading list user interface coming in October 2024

A new look is coming to eReading lists in October 2024. Same great functionality, wrapped in a new streamlined look. While the interface will look quite different, the creation and updating of eReading lists will essentially be the same. 

When will the change happen?

Tuesday 8 October 2024. 

Why is this happening?

The eReading list vendor is introducing a new user interface for all users of their platform. The new user interface is aimed at improving the user experience for students and academics, by enhancing the learning journey resulting in a simplified interface.

What do I need to do?

Refer below for specific information for students and Unit Coordinators. Changes will be automatic for all users and no action is required.

If you have any questions please get in touch. We're here to help!

There will be changes to the instructor view for creating and editing lists. Leading up to the change, the library will be delivering a Transforming Teaching session showcasing the new user interface. At the time of the upgrade, support material will be updated to reflect the new eReading list user interface, and demonstration sessions will be available.

What’s changing:

  • The new instructor view will streamline actions for creating lists, adding items and publishing lists. 

What’s not changing:

  • The same core functionality will still be present in eReading Lists for both unit coordinators and students. 
  • In most cases, familiar locations will be maintained for user actions.

No action is required from you during the upgrade, it will occur automatically. There is no downtime expected for the eReading list changes to occur. The library is available to support your use of the new version. Keep an eye out for further information.
