There are various reasons why you might want to re-use a Reading List:
There are various ways you can create a copy of an existing Reading List to use in another unit or to use as a base for a new Reading List. You could:
You would use the roll over option, if you for example created a Reading List in S1 for a unit that is also run in S2. Instead of having to create a new Reading List for S2, you could roll over the S1 Reading List, creating a copy, which you can then use in S2. This will also allow you to edit the Reading List, add new readings, replace readings, etc.
| 1) Open up you new unit and add the Reading List tool from the unit tools - see Accessing Reading List | |
|
2) Select Reading List from your left side menu (BB Original) or the Unit Content (BB Ultra).
Scroll down and select Roll Over |
 |

|

 |
| 5) Select OK |  |
|
6) The Reading List will open, associated to the new unit. It will show 'Rolled Over' behind the title at the top of the Reading List. Re-name the Reading List by clicking on the three dots behind the title and selecting Edit. Delete the wording '(Rolled Over)' and only use the unit code for the Reading List title. |
 |
|
7) Now that you have rolled over the Reading List, you can add, remove or replace readings. Once finished, make sure you submit the Reading List for Library Review |
