Enable the user to focus on the relevant sections, based on the date
If the list is built by week, by default all sections relevant to the past will be collapsed. Only the current week's section and future sections will be expanded, by default.

Improve handling of expired user accounts for course owners during rollovers
For rollovers we copy the collaborators from the original list and usually this is OK, however we then start getting bounce back emails for Leganto notifications being sent to email addresses that are no longer active.
A couple of options that would be helpful...
1. Provide option in the integration parameters to prevent an expired collaborator being copied on rollover
2. Job report to provide a warning that a course owner/collaborator has an expired user account19 votes -
Increase the number of page range fields for Book Extract citation type
Colleagues whose day job involves working with Leganto have expressed interest in being able to add more page range fields for the Book Extract citation type.
At the moment there are only two page range fields that can be made use of, which use these types:
• Start Page
• Start Page2
• End Page
• End Page2We would like to be able to add at least 4 page ranges, so have these field types available also:
• Start Page3
• End Page3
• Start Page4
• End Page4Thank you for your consideration!

Allow configuration of the "Most Common" items types displayed at Add Item in Leganto
When adding items in the Leganto user interface, the material type list is long, but a small number of material types are given prominence as "Most common". For the purposes of assisting instructors to correctly add certain item types (extracts, Eoffprints, etc, it would be very useful to be able to add items to this list or configure what appears. The most common is much larger and clearer and so for lesser used but important material types it can prove difficult for instructors to find them causing extra work and more unnecessary queries for library staff.

Sections
We prefer the option to add sections or move citations to different sections within Alma. The assigned section is shown for each citation in the overview of the Readinglist (see attachment ‘Section Alma’) but it only possible to change a section by drag&drop in Leganto. This is less convenient for librarians when we create or change a list on behalf of an instructor (and work from Alma). For lists that have a lot of sections and citations, the moving of citations in Leganto is also not the most user-friendly way (and the most secure way – a citation is easily…

Broken Link improvements
Currently there is no way to directly contact the original person reporting the broken link (student/lecturer) to let them know the link has been fixed and is available. We would expect the reporter to be notified when a fix has happened, without a notification they will have no idea when a broken link is accessible, or if it can’t be fixed.
At Imperial we have one Library team who checks and fixes broken links (Acquisitions) and a different team (liaison librarians) who would contact the original person reporting the broken link (student/lecturer) to let them know the link has been…18 votes -
Customise tag appearance
Different colours could be used to differentiate and emphasise the various tags we have created.

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…

Display related title electronic / physical availability in Alma citation search
We rely on related records to enable all availability options to display where different formats have separate bib records (as a citation can only be resource located to one record at a time). It would be useful if a 'Related' availability tab could appear in Alma alongside Physical, Electronic, Digital and Other.

Change visibility of the availability of physical copies for instructors
New interface: The visibility of the availability of physical copies is different according to the role of the user. Surprisingly, the visibility of the instructor or librarian role is less complete than the visibility of the guest or student role.
Also, when you are librarian or instructor, you are unavailable to see easily the availability of physical items. You see the text "Physical item" but this is not a link, and you have to do a lot of non-intuitive clicks to finish how many items we have or where they are. It is possible that there is no physical element…17 votesWe will make this change in Q1 2024.

Scheduling the dates of visibility of citations/attachments in NUI
We want to limit the dates between which citations or attachments can be viewed/downloaded. This is available in the classic interface but not in the new one.
It is usefulI when you (librarian or instructor) want to prepare the complete reading list at the beginning of the course, to set the dates on which citations/attachments will be made visible to users. This is good when your course works with case studies in a big way, for example.
In this situation, or similar, it is important because you are working with materials which students have to download and you don't want…16 votes -
Configure default status for Library Physical Digitization requests
When working with citations, we would like the ability to configure the default status when a Library Physical Digitization request has been submitted.
Parameters available via the Course Reserves Automatic Statuses mapping table allow default statuses to be assigned for resource sharing requests and purchasing requests. Could an additional parameter be added for Library Physical Digitization requests?

A designated field for E-locators in citations
We would like a separate field for e-locators in Leganto citations.
The publisher's use of this identifier is increasingly common, and included in several reference styles, such as APA. Today, the e-locator appears in the page number field, which can be confusing. The field should also be included in the export to RIS and to reference managers like Endnote.
A designated e-locator field would also be useful for Primo displays.

Add Unpaywall full text availability in Leganto
We have enabled links to Unpaywall in Primo VE with the "enableopenaccessservicesfromunpaywallapi" setting in Config->Fulfillment->General->Other Settings. However, these links don't appear in Leganto, only Primo. I opened a case with Support [#00984855] and they confirm that this is the expected behaviour: the Unpaywall Open Access API service is presently only available through Primo.
Our Leganto users would benefit from having Ex Libris add Unpaywall full text availability to Leganto, so that they could easily see these resources are available. Some Leganto users would see the "Full text not available" and not use the resource…

Using "Leganto student usage" and noticed that some reading lists/Courses do not appear in this report.
We created a Leganto report with the subject area "Leganto student usage" and noticed that some reading lists do not appear in this report.
We assume that this is because there has not been any student interaction with these lists but there is nothing about this in knowledge center documentation.
We have been having to run separate analytics reports to get all the data we need it.
It would be nice to be able to use the Leganto Student Usage criteria to gather statistics on ALL the reading lists, courses and citations, regardless if they’ve been used or not.15 votes -
Allow instructors to set a course as deliberately having no reading list
After the Jan 2023 release, a course can be marked as deliberately having no reading list in Alma (NERS 2022 #7744).
However there is no way for instructors to set this flag by themselves which would be a logical and convenient way of adding this information which the Library itself would not necessarily know itself from year-to-year or term to term.
It would also allow the Library to promote the flagging of courses as not requiring a list each year.Instead, instructors have to contact the Library to set it on their behalf which creates extra work.
We would like…

Header
In a course reading list within Leganto, it should be possible to 1) make the header persistent or 2) always hide once you start scrolling. In 3 different browsers - Chrome, Edge, and FireFox - when we scroll, the header sometimes shrinks and stays that way (which is good) and other times, it pops back up. This is a UI issue and should be an easy fix and/or configuration, but it is rather annoying for users when the header keeps minimizing and then un-minimizing, over and over again.

Display more course details when pushing to Leganto from Primo
Instructors often teach the same subjects which are rolled over each new semester. This results in a long list of indistinguishable lists in the Push to Leganto feature since it only displays the list name.
Please provide configuration options for displaying course details alongside the list name, including course code, term and year. Institutions should be able to decide which of these course details to display in the Push to Leganto feature.
See attached for an example of how it might look.

Information displayed in Recent Changes of Reading List
When I delete a citaiton from the reading list, I can see the information about the deleted citaiton from the "Recent Changes" tab of the Reading List in Alma, but I can't see any information other than Title.
It would be nice to have more detailed citation information (such as ISBN, ISSN and MMS ID) to identify what citations have been removed.14 votes -
Enable a forced SSO login for users accessing openly published reading lists Leganto via a CMS.
We publish all of our reading lists to "Anyone Full" which means that anyone with a link can access the list; we have partners or prospective students who may need to view the lists. Access to subscribed resources is restricted to registered users and anyone without a university login cannot access the links to resources, they can only view the citations.
Currently when students login to a reading list through Moodle, they automatically enter the list as a Guest and there is no prompt to login (unless you add a message to the list) which means that users may miss…
