Ability to 'cut & paste' sections of a reading list into another reading list. I work on multiple programmes where my subject is one of several within a module, each of which has its own, specific reading list associated. With the current set-up, this means that my texts need to be painstakingly added to each. functionality that enables you to lift whole sections (or a link to all/part of another reading list) would save huge amounts of time each year.

Move sections as a whole using drag and drop, same as resources.

I have had several instructors complain that moving sections in a reading list is very tedious, as you have to repeatedly click on move down/up and then the sections travel through other sections, not right below or above the next section. My curr...

Add a toggle to allow tenants to choose if they want List Creators to automatically be List Owners

My understanding is that List Creators are not automatically assigned as List Owners because one client requested that this be so. However, it would be great if there could be a toggle where clients could choose. We are trying to make list creatio...

Allow recently deleted lists to be retrieved in order to prevent permanent accidental deletions.

When culling reading lists, especially when deciding between two that have been created with the same/similar names, it is easy to delete the wrong one. It would be helpful to have a retrieval feature in which recently deleted lists could be resto...

Change 'Edit list details' to 'Edit list privacy' only

Only system administrators/library staff should be able to change list settings such as the time periods, titles, and licences. We find the description box is rarely used. Academics tend to change the time periods to 'rollover' their list, without...

Change the save buttons in the Assign List Owner window.

When a user is assigned as the 'List Owner' of the list, if the Save button is clicked (instead of the Save with List Publisher role), the user is granted ownership without editor permissions. This is not particularly obvious and causing frustrati...

Create reading list via Word import

It is currently possible to generate a reading list from a RIS file. It would be good if this could be created from other files, such as Word documents. Module supervisors will often compile a reading list within a word document when submitting ne...

Enable adding a resource while the list is filtered

It would be very useful to be able to add resources and edit the list while terms are entered in the search bar or other filters are applied. This would reduce workload by removing the need to first filter the list to determine which section to ad...

'Go to bottom' tab

In the same way that there is a 'go to top' tab, it would be useful to have a 'go to bottom' tab at the top of reading lists. Useful when working on long lists, after publishing, searching from bottom upwards, etc

Having a check box to tick, to clarify to students that the item is not yet available/purchased

It would be good to have a simple check box to tick, so that it is then clear to students that the item is not yet in the Library. This would be less time-consuming than having to manually check and change each item ourselves. Please could we sugg...
