Updating a list from a previous year
First, make sure you’re editing the most recent version of the list.

In most cases the academic year the list relates to is shown near the top of the page.
If you’re viewing a list from a previous year you’ll see an alert like this:
‘Rolling over’ digitised readings
Scanned readings are set to ‘expire’ at the end of each academic session (in late August) – this is a requirement of our copyright licence.

Contact us (readinglists@st-andrews.ac.uk) to arrange for this to be done – you don’t need to place new digitisation requests for them.
