Many websites, such as Facebook, Youtube and Gmail are no longer supporting old versions of Internet Explorer. Older versions of Internet Explorer(IE) have security problems which will never be fixed and using it will leave you vulnerable to all sorts of problems on the internet.

Suggestion: Users receive a message saying that their browser does not meet the minimum requirements for accessing Leganto upon trying to log in with an unsupported browser. They may still be able to log in, but will not be able to view/use Leganto effectively. This has been done for other systems, see for example the attached picture for the message IE-users of Canvas LMS receive.

As of now, Microsoft only supports the following desktop operating systems with Internet Explorer browsers:
Windows 10 -> Internet Explorer 11
Windows 8.1 Update -> Internet Explorer 11
Windows 7 SP1 -> Internet Explorer 11
(see full list of operating systems that support IE11: https://support.microsoft.com/en-au/help/17454/lifecycle-faq-internet-explorer)

So this could be used as criteria for which users receive the message. And to avoid making reading lists inaccessible for non-logged in users I suggest that Ex Libris only shows the message for users attempting to log in.

Once Ex Libris finally deprecates support for Internet Explorer completely, all users trying to log in to Leganto with Internet Explorer should receive this message.

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.

The Leganto UI supports multiple languages, which is very helpful. It is however not possible to translate individual texts of reading lists, such as their titles, into different languages.

Please enable the following:

1. A way to easily input in multiple (at least two) languages a) reading list titles, b) section names, c) citation public notes, d) section notes, and e) possibly other such reading list related texts that are not part of the bibliographic metadata.




2. That the relevant translated text (as per above) be displayed depending on what language the user has selected for the UI in the Leganto language menu.

To be clear: a kind of multi language support for reading lists may already be implemented by creating duplicate lists, one for each language, but that approach has at least the following drawbacks:

1. When working with a rolled-over list, the very same changes (e.g. adding new citations) must be made to several lists, which is error prone and somewhat tedious.




2. The user changing the language setting for the Leganto UI does not affect which language version of the reading list is displayed.




3. Data integrity is weaker, because even though the different language versions are supposed to reflect the very same list, their actual content is not interlinked and may well differ in reality (something that could occur as a result of failing to reproduce the very same changes when working with a rolled-over list, as mentioned under (1)).

Oh, and all such translations should of course be readable and writeable via the API:s.

(This suggestion focuses in particular on the ability to translate texts in reading lists but is somewhat related to this idea: https://ideas.exlibrisgroup.com/forums/395697-leganto/suggestions/39034405-display-templates-and-other-elements-in-the-interf)

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.

Currently (March 2018) notifications in Leganto don't really provide any course context, or grouping on the basis of course, e.g.
"- A new item was added to a list
New item added to the reading list [list name]
[User] added [title details]"

which means that for users with many courses (students or instructors), and with several lists for a course, the context of what has really been added to where is quite confusing, or at least not very useful since the viewer has no real sense of what the change aplies to, rather they can only see the fact of a change.

It would be much more useful to make the course association (if there is one) visible in the notifications - and indeed to offer a link to the course level), as well as potentially filtering/ordering by course.
In the VLE/CMS and in general academic departmental communications students and instructors tend to receive updates with the course context first and foremost in the communication.
