Allow date filtering on the Edit Citations page
It would allow more flexibility in the Citation-level workflow if there was an easier way of working with dates in the page. Often there are far more citations slowing the page and overloading the users to make this as effective as it could be. It would be useful to be able to filter the report by a date (before/after, or between) and then use the facets to really drill down on criteria to address.
In a list in Alma, there is a "Citation Last Modification Date" which is almost doing something similar, but as it is just a specific date…

LTI Relink to reading list
Currently, LTI links default to going to the course (ie the list of reading lists). If only one reading list is visible to a user, that will open directly, which fooled us into thinking of it as a reading list link, but it is really a course link.
Instructors can relink these LTI links to a specific citation, or to a specific section - it would be useful if they could also relink them to a specific reading list.
When rollover is performed, the relinked item should point to the rolled over (new) reading list, in the same way as…

Overview of readings lists in a study program
Leganto gives the possibility to
- link to a specific course (and display the list(s) associated to this course)
- get an overview of all the reading lists belonging to a specific academic departments, through their course associationThe missing link in between is the association of a smaller number of courses, belonging to the same academic department or not:
the study program.Librarians and instructors could associate courses to a study program as easily as they can associate a list to a course.
Students could search for a program in the find list interface.
An overview of all the…154 votes -
Automatically set Open Access citations to complete
I'd like to propose a new functionality enabling citations that are open access to be set to "complete" (semi-)automatically.
Having to go through all open citations and checking each for possible open access is a cumbersome and time consuming effort we (the library) would like to simplify.
An "[ ] Open Access" checkbox within the Add Item menu, the citation and for Cite It! would enable instructors to do so themselves with little additional work on their side.

Allow the selection of Course and then Reading List when using LTI in a LMS site
There is often complex mappings between institutional courses and LMS sites (these are not always a 1-1 mapping) and due to this the automatic LTI match is not viable.
If courses are pre-loaded into Alma then the instructor may have already built the reading list they require so we do not want the LTI to create another course.
If the LTI adapter allowed the instructor to select a course first and then the reading list then this would lower administration overhead significantly when there isn't a direct map between the course and LMS site.

Hide suggestions from everyone who is not a list owner/collaborator
At the moment materials suggested for lists are visible to everyone logged in to Leganto, as well as who suggested it and the comment they added.
We'd prefer if suggestions were only visible to list owners/collaborators.

List filter: Move Notes from 'Types' to 'Subject'
The Filter tab contains four different categories: Section, Tag, Type, Subject.
Notes are sorted in 'Type' even though they are not a type of citation. Ideally they should be sorted in 'Subject'1 vote -
section permalinks in Analytics or API
We currently manually adding permalinks to Insendi, which is a VLE that Imperial staff have created and are selling to other universities. Some Imperial staff want to put specific section permalinks into specific weekly VLE posts. It would be better, if we could give them a list of permalinks from a Analytics or API export.

Filter / Remove 'notes' from material type filter
Notes are not a type of citations and shouldn't be grouped with books, journals, articles, websites, etc.
They could easily be moved to filter-group that contains due dates and likes.1 vote -
Add courses to User API
We have a regular feed of user data from our student information system (SIS) into Alma. The SIS also holds course data, so we'd like to be able to simply include course enrolment data in the existing feed, rather than set up a separate process.
As well as one process being better than two :-) it's a more practical fit to how the data is available. The current process for course enrolment in Leganto requires us to run one job for added courses and one job for deleted courses. But our SIS can't create a list of courses that have…

Library Discussion Notes - glowing indicator when accessed from notification 'bell' icon
Some users report it is difficult to find Library Discussion Notes at the reading list level and also at the citation level.
When they log into Leganto, and click on the 'bell' icon for notifications, it would be great if when they click the "New Library Discussion..." within the notifications, the screen would clearly show the new note with a bold red text or a glowing box on the new messages they received.
It would be even better if Library Discussion was positioned before the Related Items and defaults to being open and easily spotted.
Thanks!

Leganto: Have a Reference displayed for the resource in the style required eg APA7th
There was a comment from an academic saying when their readings were in the Learning Management System they had the correct APA referencing style demonstrated, with the link to the reading – so students could see the correct format. And the academic was disappointed that the Leganto list didn’t demonstrate the referencing in the correct style. So we would propose that under the title of the resource in the Leganto list, the reference for the resource would be listed in APA6 (or probably APA7 now) format. Ideally it would be like Endnote – where we input the data in the…

popular reading lists
We currently have old lists showing on our popular reading list section. We would like to be able to remove these from the list. Either by changing the configuration of how the list is created or being able to pick which lists are in the popular list.

API for Retrieval of List of Courses for a User
There already exists an API for the retrieval of a list of users for a particular course:
GET /almaws/v1/courses/{course_id}/usersThis request is for development of an API for the retrieval of a list of courses for a particular user.

When copying a section from one list to another provide a 'search for' option to find the list you want to move to.
At present it gives a randomly ordered list of all lists on 'My Lists' so hard to find the one you want if as a librarian you manage a lot of lists.

Ability to tailor the Alma citations view to support more workflows
This may be multiple ideas to be split out, but the basic idea is the same. Currently in Alma Citations, even with the useful SOLR indexing improvements to allow facets, it can still be difficult to use the Citations list as a tasklist, because there is only exclusive faceting and no date restriction. Although Analytics allows creation modification dates to come into use for filtering lists, in the Alma interface there is no easy way to only show certain dates.
It is also a heavy loading page as it can show all citations in Alma, whereas it would be useful…
