Situation - Currently we are trying to make the majority of our reading lists open access. However, due to departmental and copyright issues. We cant make all lists open access. Therefore, we currently have Publishdefaultmode set to All Students Full. Which means staff manually run sets on a daily basis to find readings lists that have been published and are not from two specific academic departments and run a bulk reading list job to change them to All Students Full, Anyone Restricted.

Solution. We would prefer that the Publishdefaultmode is enhanced to publish lists with different publication status dependent on their academic department, processing department and course year. So that some list can be set to open access, whereas some are kept as All Students Full.

We would also ask for a reading list safe list, so that lists added to a staff list were not suddenly changed open access, as the acquisitions are aware of a specific copyright issue on the list.
