Add Linkedin Learning resource to the list of supported sites
This Idea to to ask whether the LinkedIn Learning resource used by many institutions for training/self-directly study and learning activities could be added to the list of supported websites for the CiteIt! bookmarklet tool in Leganto for Instructors to harvest metadata and page urls for landing pages and individual courses/course videos possibly

implement SSO via Microsoft Azure for Leganto so that our Brightspace users do not have to logon via ezproxy when on an off-campus PC.
Our Brightspace users have already logged on via our university portal which uses Microsoft Azure SSO. From within Brightspace, they access the Leganto reading list where they click on Primo links to our subscribed resources. We use OCLC-hosted ezproxy to authenticate users when they click a link from the library website but when users have already authenticated into Primo or Brightspace via Azure, there is no need for them to be prompted a second time via ezproxy. This is a major inconvenience for our online-only courses where students all always coming from an off-campus PC but have already authenticated via…

Improved analytics reporting for new LTI functionality
Since upgrading to the new v1.3 of the LTI we are encouraging instructors to make use of the new functionality in the VLE such as embedding citation metadata or links to specific parts of reading lists.
Anecdotally we know that our instructors are using and enjoying these new features. However, we'd like to be able report on and demonstrate the impact of this.
Could the Student Usage area of analytics be developed to be able to report on how many click throughs from, for example, embedded citations or embedded links there are from VLE to Leganto?
There may be additional…

Ability to upload citations to multiple lists in bulk
We would like to include a citation on all of our reading lists for the Cite them right database, as it would be useful for students. We would like to add the citation to multiple lists in one action rather than doing it individually but there doesn't seem to be a way of doing this.

Option to link Leganto citation metadata to Alma/Primo bibliographic data
Bibliographic metadata for books is often improved in Alma/Primo after a citation has been created in Leganto. We would like the option to link the citation metadata from Alma/Primo so that when Alma/Primo metadata is updated, the Leganto citation metadata would be updated also.

Option to configure automatic Digitisation Requests with "Chapter" citations
It is possible to configure Leganto so that when a new "Book" citation is added, a new Purchase Request is raised in Alma.
However, with newly added "Chapter" citations, either the Leganto Instructor or Operator then has to raise a digitisation request manually from the list, for each one of these citation types.
It would help to have the option to configure Leganto so that each newly added "Chapter" citation could automatically generate a Digitisation Request, with the metadata from the generated Citation (including the page range or Chapter title) included in the request.
This would mirror what currently is…

Course Management System support for 2U
One of our schools use the 2U Course Management system (https://2u.com/) but currently there is no integration available with Leganto, so our School of Education is doing their own course reading lists instead of using Leganto. Ideally, we want the school to use Leganto like the other schools do with D2L so that the reading lists are all managed within Alma.

Rollover - Allow Excel files to be directly uploaded to course loader integrated profile
Currently we have to create a spreadsheet for a course rollover, then re-format it into text tab delimited file and then add it to a FTP server before it can be run in the course loader integrated process. This is a long winded process where errors can creep in.
It would be an improvement if you could upload the file directly in the Course loader integrated profile as a file upload. It would also be better if this upload could be an Excel spreadsheet rather than a text tab delimited file

Vertically align the "view online" button in citations
Hello. We are migrating from Talis to Leganto.
In Talis, our students can see the "View Online" button clearly in the bookmarks. This button is always in the same place as they scroll through the list. See the first attached image. It makes for a consistent UX. Students primarily access their reading list content electronically (including articles, websites, scanned chapters) rather than finding a print copy on the shelves.
In Leganto however, the "View Online" button comes after the print holding locations in the citation. This means that as the user scrolls through the list, the "View Online" location in…

Make the copyright approval "Number of students" field be a number
Currently in Analytics, if a citation is associated with multiple courses then the "Citation Copyright"."Number of Students" field displays as eg "20;22;0". Ie it lists the number of students in each course, as a text field, rather than giving the total 42 as a number.
This is effectively useless. Our copyright reporting requires the total number. And for statistical purposes I might want to multiply the number of students by the number of pages on a citation, which I can't do with a text field.
Either
a) this field should be a number containing the total by default (this would…

Display the "Resource Sharing Request" in a Network environment
We belong to a Network. In Leganto we can configure the search and add citations using the Network scope. In this case, when the teacher adds citations from records that belong to another member of the network in Leganto, in the citation availability space, no option is shown. We would like it to show
the "Resource Sharing Request" just like in the Primo interface.6 votes -
Course create dates from CMS Moodle- Leganto Chat
When an instructor creates a new course from Moodle, the start and end date of the course is the same and it coincides with the course creation date.
We would like the instructor, when creating a new course from Moodle, to be able to choose the start and end date of the course

Add the ability to detach citations from the repository in bulk
E-resource records regularly change and as a library we have to de-activate and suppress electronic records because they have been withdrawn from a platform or they have migrated from one platform to another. We also subscribe to packages where content regularly drops in and out.
If a citation record is associated with inventory that has been withdrawn, we may need to re-link it to an alternative version of the record that is active. The process and enrich citations tool can locate resources in bulk across multiple resource lists, but it only picks up citations that have been detached from the…

More control over the description field for rollover lists
Some of our institutions have used the list description field to write year-specific information. This is an issue when the list is rolled over and the information for the previous semester is still visible.
We would want to have more control over the description field, especially when it comes to rolled over lists but not only. Therefore we would like the possibility to choose in the rollover setup if the description field should be copied to the new list or not, and in addition the possibility to run a bulk job to delete the content of the description field on…

Add Electronic Collection data to Course Reserves Analytics
In Alma Analytics, accessing information about Leganto citations is best managed via the Course Reserves area. However, the Course Reserve reports available seem set up for physical items. For example, we do not have the option to pull Electronic Collection data from Alma Analytics for citations. The limitation is especially true for CDI resources, where you cannot even obtain an MMS ID.
When vendors pull ebooks or other cited materials from their selection, it’s important that the library is able to identify affected resources quickly. This allows the library to proactively manage the citation, locating the materials elsewhere or work…

Support Local Resource Types in Library Search faceting
Provide the option to include Local Resource Types in Leganto’s Library Search facets.
We have created Alma Local Resource Types for use in Primo. However, those resource types are not reflected in Leganto’s Library Search resource type facets. As a result users have no way to limit by those local resource types.
For example, we have created a local resource type printbook, and all remaining ebook items that don’t fit the local printbook criteria remain in the default book facet. Leganto users can limit by the default “Book” resource type which actually contains our ebooks, but cannot limit…

Link prioritization in Leganto
Some aggregators, e.g. EBSCO, don't make preprints available as quickly as publishers, e.g. Wiley. But because the preprints do fall in our coverage range, the aggregator links appear and look like broken links. In discovery, we can use Link Prioritization to place the publisher links above the aggregator links. Direct linking, then, doesn't point to "broken" links.
Can Leganto set up Link Prioritization too? So that we can place the functional links (publisher) above broken links (aggregator).11 votes
