Online reading lists - info for staff

Guidance for teaching staff on creating and editing online lists for their modules

New reading list system

We are in the process of implementing our new reading list system (Leganto), checking data migration and functionality is as expected.  Please check back soon for further information. 

A new reading list system is being implemented in June 2025 for use in the 2025/6 academic year. This system will replace the Talis system.

Further details can be found on the library website Library Management System - Reading Lists including actions that teaching staff need to take and how we will support you in using the new system.

For staff who create and edit their own lists then from Friday 23rd May no further changes should be made to existing reading lists. The lists will still be visible to staff and students until the system is decommissioned on 28th July.

The new system will be available to staff from the end of June and we will notify you once the 2025/6 lists are available for editing.

The submission window for sending new/updated lists to the library for use in semester 1 is from 1st June to 15th July.

Please send lists and any questions relating to the system change to readinglists@st-andrews.ac.uk
