Copying Citations Between Reading Lists
When copying citations from one reading list to another, Leganto allows users to copy only to the lists saved in the "My Lists" section. This functionality works well for instructors, but librarians preparing lists on behalf of faculty need to save all the necessary lists in the "My Lists" section beforehand. Librarians should have the ability to copy citations to any available list. Enabling this feature would streamline the setup of reading lists at the beginning of the academic year, when citations need to be copied from one year to the next, especially in institutions where citation management is a…

Show course details when selecting a list to copy a section or item to
In Leganto, when copying an item or section to another list, no course details are currently displayed. This makes it difficult or impossible to select the correct list to copy to. Some courses share the same name (and therefore the same list name) but have separate lists, such as in the case of a postgraduate offering and an undergraduate offering. Additionally, some courses may have an active list for each semester the course is offered. Other lists may share the same generic title, such as ‘Resource list’. In these cases, it is impossible to select the right list to copy…

Toggle between instructor and library view
With the introduction of the library view, library staff also need quick and easy access to the instructor view:
- to demonstrate/train instructors
- to produce training materials for instructors
- to test new configuration changes
We really like the easy toggle transition between student/staff views and would like to see something similar between library/instructor views.

Add PNX record to citation data
Troubleshooting Leganto links is more helpful when staff can understand where the record originates or is pulled from. Leganto allows staff members to search by PNX record ID and the Alma MMS ID. However, when broken links are reported, this information is not shared in the citation metadata.
Adding this data to the process would help ensure that staff can compare the correct items when troubleshooting broken links. While we know there is a citation origin field in Leganto Analytics, it would be more effective to go a step further and have an option like a bookmarklet that can be…

Highlight Open Access and peer reviewed material on reading lists with the Primo logos
Students and staff can see the Open Access logo and the peer view logo in Primo but they can't see the logos on the same resource once it's been added to Leganto. Please enable libraries to choose whether these logos can be pulled into Leganto with the resource details. The University of Sheffield is doing some work around open resources and promoting OER and it would be good to be able to highlight open resources on the reading list for students and staff. I hope the picture helps.

Leganto mobile Experience improvement
Some functional and layout aspects need to be improved in the Leganto Mobile Experience.
Leganto mobile hasn't any top header; the app is completely anonymous (neither the institution logo nor the name of the product is visible)
The layout of the general menu is different from the one presented in May 2024, and it has a lot of line spacing. "Upcoming due dates” are always visible also for institutions that disabled this feature.
The names of the reading lists are truncated if they are quite long. We’d expect complete list names to be shown, spanning multiple rows if needed

Better layout for ‘Ask your library to create your list’ on the quick start screen
Libraries can display the “Ask your library to create your list” option on the quick start screen. We think it would be great if this option would be displayed in the same layout as the options “Create new list” and “Select existing list” in a box with title, image, description, and button.

Digitization request form in Leganto: add configuration options
As of now, the digitization request form used in the Leganto UI cannot be configured. We think that it would be a useful enhancement if libraries were able to enable and disable fields as well as define the number of note fields and page range fields such as it is the case for the digitization request form in Primo VE.

Process and enrich citations job - additional field required
We have run the Process and Enrich citations job very occasionally to pick up URLs which may have changed but the resulting file always needs a huge amount of work because it includes loads of historical data. It would be much more useful if it included the field "Publication list visibility", so that we could filter to discover just those citations which are currently visible to our students.
We would like to run this job on a regular basis in order to proactively fix issues, even before students or instructors spot them. We think that instructors will be more likely…

New UI: Restore ability to search ALL archived lists for library staff
Leganto, using the old UI, allows library staff to locate archived lists when searching by the course ID, this allows library staff to quickly assist faculty & staff in rolling over/copying their courses. In the NUI, users are only able to locate archived lists for which they are the owner. To be perfectly frank, the library postponed going live with the NUI this summer due to this lacking feature. Finding out this is expected behavior led to the creation of this idea exchange, as we are very concerned about losing access to the feature.
Proposed resolutions:
1) Allow library staff…75 votes -
Link to citations from 'all titles' search display
When doing a titles search on Alma, there's no way to immediately tell if a record appears on a Leganto list. Could there be a title information option called 'Citations' with a number that links to a citations search for that MMS ID? Similar to how 'Orders' appears.

Hide start date and end date when creating a (new) section
In the June 2024 release, we were given the possibility to hide the due date from the quick edit view of a citation. For the same reason, we need to hide the “start date” and “end date” fields when creating a (new) section.
Once published, our citations must always be visible to all students. At our institution, Leganto Lists are mandatory for all our instructors because students should always have access to the lists, also to the ones that refer to previous academic years. If an instructor fills in the “start date” and “end date” fields, citations will no longer…64 votes -

"Demand in other lists" should be visible in Leganto
"Demand in other lists" is a useful tool for librarians in Alma.
Some librarians work a lot in Leganto. It would make sense that users with librarian roles can see directly in Leganto which books are demanded in other lists, and which ones.13 votes -
Option to run Process and Enrich Citations job in draft mode
Would be useful to have the option to run the Process and Enrich Citations job in draft mode. This would enable to us to see what citation to record matches were going to be made in advance, and edit the job if it looked like there were going to be errors in the matching / citations we didn't want included.
This would be similar to the draft mode options when running the 'Rollover Ledgers' and 'Rollover PO Lines' jobs.53 votes -
‘Other Formats and Editions’ in student view
We would like all editions of a book to be visible to students, similar to the function ‘Other Formats and Editions’. Ideally, they would have accessible links to display these editions in our Library catalogue.

Clear indication for print or electronic resources from other institutions
Since the June 2024 release it is indicated in the Leganto UI if another institution in a multi-campus environment has physical or electronic holdings. Unfortunately, Leganto users can only see in Primo whether it is a print or an electronic resource. In the Leganto UI, the same icon and the same labeling are used for both. As our users usually have no access to electronic resources from other institutions, it would be an important improvement for them to become able to clearly recognize them immediately in Leganto and not only after many clicks in Primo.
The print screen shows the…21 votes -
find list setting in new UI
Find list settings allow librarians to customize the basic and advanced search interfaces in Leganto but it is not available in the new UI. It would be very useful to replicate this function in the new UI interface.

Refine "Held by Library" Filter in Leganto
Our institution is part of a large library network with over 50 other Institutional Zones. Currently, the "Held by Library" filter in Leganto shows physical items from all libraries in the network, not just our holdings. However, in the context of Leganto, only items held by our institution are relevant for the instructors, particularly, because we cannot add items from other institutions to course reserves.
We request an enhancement to either:
1. Modify the "Held by Library" filter to only show items from the local IZ.
2. Introduce a separate filter to limit results to items from the local IZ.…20 votes
