When a reading list is submitted for review, the Reading List Support Team will check each item on the reading list and assign to it a ‘review outcome’.

This ‘review outcome’ is used to indicate a decision or action that’s been made by the Library. 

Once the review is completed, the Team will update you by email, sending through a spreadsheet of review outcomes alongside a review outcomes key detailing what that outcome means.

Dependent on the outcome assigned, the key will also show further options you may want to take.
