Cite It support for Oxford Academic platform
Oxford Academic was introduced a couple of years ago as the new platform for Oxford University Press journal content. This should ideally be supported by Cite It, as it is a heavily used resource across all subjects.

Adding a collaborator needs to assign instructor role
Faculty want to add a collaborator. They can only see users who already have the instructor role, so they can't add the collaborator. That means they have to notify the library to add the role which holds them up from their work on the list.
They should be able to search for a specific user, add them as collaborator and that should assign the instructor role (the way it does when we load courses).
Not all our reserves staff have the User Manager role, so if we have to deal with this manually we will have to give all reserve…

Automatically set citation to "Complete" after "Resource Locate"; and to "Ready for Processing" after "Detach from Repository" in Alma
User Story:
As a Library staff who needs to process Reading List Citations in Alma, I want Citation to be automatically set to Complete following a "Resource Locate", as these resources are within the Institutional Alma Repository. This would resolve the additional "Set Complete" clicking required for each citation, and improve the work efficiency of Library staff.
I also want completed Citations to be automatically set to Ready for Processing following "Detach from Repository", as they may require follow up actions. This can reduce any chance of an unprocessed citation remaining "Complete" status, and reduce frustration for the reading list…5 votes -
Allow 'learning technologist' role to see all lists/course information associated with a specific Academic Department
As we work with Academic Departments, we increasingly find that a departmental colleague has a key role as a "learning technologist" or admin in the VLE (CMS) Blackboard Moodle, Canvas etc etc. In order to help them manage and support reading list creation across an entire department it would really help if it was possibly to associate a User in Alma with an Academic department so they could see all the lists associated with that department, whether draft or published.
NB because of the numbers, this idea would return us to the issue of librarians seeing too much in My…

Declaration text header for Add Item Manually/Upload file workflow
Add a declaration text header option for when users click on "Add Item Manually/Upload File" analogous to the digitizationrequestheader. The idea is that we could communicate to faculty our expectations about fair use when uploading items. If this header option existed, we would add something like:
"The Libraries supports courses by scanning and electronically delivering course related materials for use as course readings or for other instructional uses. NOTE: Usage must meet Fair Use Guidelines (Title 17, US Code) unless copyright permission has been obtained. Utilize the Fair Use Analysis Tool (https://www.lib.umn.edu/copyright/fairthoughts) to help make your…1 vote -
Tags - Library, Instructors & Public
We've created a number of Citation tags for internal Library-staff use to handle Reading List requests.
e.g(Library use) eJournal check required
(Library use) Permissions required
(Library use) ILL request placed
(Library use) scanning requiredIn the Tag Mapping table, we can set the visibility to Library or Public.
"Library" visibility includes Library staff and Leganto course instructors and collaborators.
We do not want Instructors to use these tags, but they display by default in Leganto, and so could cause confusion if they apply these tags.We would like to have a setting that only shows to Library staff to…

Change default thumbnail icons for 'Music' and 'Score' citation types

Option for instructors to hide suggested items panel from student view
