Every year the Library rolls over all active reading lists into the next academic year. This creates a copy of the list as it was at that moment in time.
As part of the rollover we have to “lock” the previous years' list to prevent changes because those changes cannot then be reflected in the new rolled over versions.
Each list has an academic year noted on it so that you know which list belongs to which year.
I need to edit a list but its locked?
- If your module runs all year, during Semester 3 or you'd just like to add more items to support summer re-sits, the Library can unlock the list for you upon request. Please email Leganto@wlv.ac.uk.
- If you are trying to edit the list for the next/upcoming academic year but it says it is 'LOCKED' please check the academic YEAR of the list you are looking at. If you are viewing the list inside the Canvas course for the current academic year, you will be seeing the version for that year instead of the upcoming year.
- The academic year is shown in the list header. For example, the image below shows two lists for the same module when you are viewing your list of lists in leganto - 7PY023. The first one is labelled (2024/25) and is the one that should be clicked on if you want to update the list for the upcoming academic year. The second (2023/24) has been locked during the rollover.
- For the best experience, use web leganto www.wlv.ac.uk/leganto rather than Canvas.
- If you still cannot see the list you need, have a look at the linked FAQ or contact Leganto@wlv.ac.uk asap.
When does rollover happen?
- Usually during May or June. The Library will let you know via Staff news items and emails from your Liaison Librarian.
The new list is showing as Draft status instead of Published, should I Publish it?
- No, the Library will automatically Publish the lists nearer to the start of the new academic year.
- The rolled over lists are always Draft status so that students cannot view them - this gives module leaders the opportunity to update them and for the Library to get resources in place.
If you have any questions about your reading lists or Leganto in general, please contact the Leganto Team - Leganto@wlv.ac.uk
