The ORLO rollover process will automatically create draft copies of your current reading lists, which will need to be edited and published for the next academic year. This process takes place annually during the Long Vacation: the next rollover will take place week commencing 23rd June 2025 (9th week). Lists for AY24-25 will be locked at that point and will no longer be available for editing. Please note that your existing lists will continue to be available to current students; the rollover process simply creates a separate copy of these lists to amend independently of the original for the next cohort.
Tip: If you have been assigned as a list owner or collaborator, the new draft lists will appear in the 'My Lists’ area of ORLO after rollover (you will need to be signed into ORLO to search for draft lists if you are not a named list owner or collaborator).
For further instructions including 'What do I need to do?', 'What about digitised content i.e. scans of chapters and articles?' and 'Archiving Lists', please see the 'ORLO Rollover explained' PDF linked below.
Questions and help
Your list will only roll over if it has been published. If your course did not run in the academic year 24-25 and your list was not published, you do not need to publish it for rollover; please simply rename your list prefix to AY25-26.
Draft lists will not be rolled over, but will be Archived after three years if they have not been used or published in that time.
If you have any further questions or require help with ORLO, please contact your ORLO library representative (see our contacts page) or email orlo@bodleian.ox.ac.uk.
A banner telling users that there is a newer version of a list will now display after rollover on all except the newest iteration of the list.
A hyperlink to the newer version of the list is contained in the text.
Please note this banner only exists where a list has been rolled over in our Annual Rollover cycle. If you create a new version of a list from scratch, the banner does not display.
