We have an open search page for Leganto and make our lists open as well. Because of this people will often find lists in different ways i.e. not just following the link from the VLE.

If you find a list that is open and then log in, or if you are on the open search page and log in, you are always taken to the "My lists" screen.

I propose that when you log in you are returned to the page you started on i.e. if you are on a list page and log in you are returned to the list.

Currently the 'Reports' link (attached) in Leganto just links to an 'out the box' analytics dashboard displaying a range of usage information.

It would be useful to be able to define a path to our own Analytics dashboard in an Alma code table, e.g. in Fulfilment > Leganto > Customer Settings.

Our analytics report would be set to receive filters/parameters from Leganto, i.e. reading list codes.

Academic engagement forms a significant part of the work we do with reading lists, so being able to be flexible and responsive to their needs/wishes in terms of usage of their lists would definitely be a benefit for us.

We have not used the rollover function in Leganto. Our main concern is that permalinks made in the VLE to sections/citations would no longer work. We have no way of checking where permalinks are in use.

The main thing that we would want to gain from performing a rollover each academic year is to reset the usage statistics which are on view to instructors back to zero, together with any student comments and likes. We are not particularly concerned to create new copies of a course as there is nothing to distinguish one year's module from the next in our course codes (this is because we use the normalisation rules to match the course on the first six characters only).

[We would still want to be able to access historic usage statistics within date ranges in Analytics].

Ensuring that our reading lists have subject tags assigned is labour intensive without appropriate mechanisms to identify and batch update lists. We rely on our academic staff to assign these as we are not resourced to trawl through Leganto or Alma looking to see if they have a subject, or could use better subject tags. Suggestions:

Add Reading List Subject to Analytics Course Reserves; Leganto Instructor Usage; Leganto Student Usage - to report/identify lists that have no subject assigned, or investigate impact when considering relabelling a subject

Add Subject Tag as a facet in Alma - If the list of subjects is going to be too long, then at least "No subject tag", "Has subject tag".

Add to the "Manage Selected" menu an option to Manage subject tags - The librarian can then select a batch of reading lists to add or remove assigned subject tags.

Add to the course loader a field where subject tags could be assigned if there are lists associated with the course being updated, and/or some other mechanism to upload a spreadsheet of course codes (and or/list codes) with assigned subject tags.

These mechanisms would help make the management of these tags more efficient, resulting in the Find Lists function being much more reliable for our students and staff.

Sometimes instructors perform a citation search in Leganto and just add the first result that comes up in the search results; often this is actually a book review or other format that isn't logical for reserves. Additionally, most instructors are searching and expecting the latest edition to appear first in the list. Other faculty from certain departments want to choose a particular edition, and so need edition information prominently surfaced in the search result.

This results in processing delays as staff must check with instructors to clarify what items they really intended to place on reserve.

One possible solution may be to offer an option for faculty to specially indicate that the submitted citation must be filled as specified (format/edition). Something could indicate that by default, any available edition can be substituted for the one added to the list as a result of search.

In the July 2018 release notes a new feature was described for showing shelf other titles located on the same or adjacent shelves near the citation.
In Primo we have the virtual browse configured to include ebooks that have an LC classification in the bib record. We think the shelf recommendations in Leganto should be extended to accommodate ebooks in a similar way. Especially as more of our budget is going to online books.

I logged a case asking for it, and Ex Libris has indicated that it sounds beneficial for other other customers, and requested that we garner support via the Ideas Exchange.

It would streamline the workflow significantly if Citation Alert Notes which are represented by the green dot in the Reading List View could include what contents of the Note actually are. This would save the workflow 3 extra clicks into the citation to edit it, checking the Notes Tab and having to then back out again to the Reading List. There is also significant work in having to clear an Alert once seen and or action, where the staff member has to select the citation, scroll to the top of the list, choose the Actions Menu, and select the Remove Alerts option. It would be much simpler and faster for the Alert to simply be removed when a staff member selects the Alerts Tab. Once they have selected the Alerts Tab, the Alert and its contents are then seen, the Alert is cleared, and the staff member can act on the Alert before moving on. Even allowing Alerts to just be cleared from the … More Options menu for that citation would be a great improvement.

See an example of where Note content could be displayed to the user in the attached.

Can the 'Citation tags' facet/filter also be added to the 'Manage Purchase Requests' screen.

To provide context, the citation tags we have created ourselves are 'Essential', 'Core', Further Reading', 'Distance Learning', 'Recommended' and so on. Our reading list team will want to complete all purchase requests, however, they may wish to process purchase requests marked essential, before moving onto the Core reading etc. Or have different team members working through different citation tags. Having this facet in 'Manage Purchase Requests' will allow the team to prioritise particular requests over others.

Feels like a small feature to implement, but will have quite a significant impact on the reading list teams purchasing workflow.

Thank you.

Physical (print) and electronic (ebook) availability cannot be added as columns in these Analytics subject areas. This would be hugely beneficial for most of our daily reports and workflows as we try to ensure that a certain number of copies or electronic versions are available for resources added to reading lists.

An additional requirement is for availability to be shown for records related to the citation. This is because we have separate title records for physical (print) holdings and electronic (ebook) portfolios, and use the related_records parameter in Leganto Customer Settings to display availability for all available formats at citation level.
