Export Leganto reading lists as PDF: add tags to the PDF for better accessibility
An accessible PDF must include document structure tags, which describe the logical and semantic structure of a document. This is important for screen readers and other assertive technologies to interpret and reproduce the content correctly.
Unfortunately, when a Leganto reading list is exported as PDF, the PDF does not include document structure tags. We hope that tags can be added and thus Leganto reading lists become accessible as PDFs too.13 votes -
Add number of comments in Library Discussion at citation level too
The Library Discussion at list level currently shows the number of comments in it from the list view. It would be useful to have the same functionality for the Library Discussion at citation level too

Make all table columns for Courses and Reading lists search results sortable in Alma
For tables in Alma: it would be relevant if all columns are sortable by default.

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

Don't include deleted citations in analytics reports
I regularly work from quite long Leganto analytics reports to tidy up data and correct any errors in citation records. One thing that is very frustrating and wastes quite a lot of time is that citations which I can only presume have been deleted appear in such reports. I'm not sure why they should appear if they have been deleted (or the list they appear on has been deleted) but it would be great if the analytics reports could be tweaked so that such citation IDs no longer appear. Either that or at least have an option to exclude them.

Allow additional staff roles to be configurable in Courses and displayed in Leganto
I would love the option to configure a new Course Instructor role in Alma/Leganto; it could be called something like ‘Course Collaborator’ to use wording consistent with other similar roles. This could then map more accurately between different staff roles in the VLE and different reading list ownership roles. Currently there is only one overarching Course role (Instructor), but the Course is the LTI linking point between VLE page and reading list, and the Course Loader is where you update details in bulk, so there does not seem a good way of keeping 'list collaborators' up to date without doing…

Add a status of 'digitisation archived' for DCS requests
Currently there are two statuses for digitisation request licence status - approved or rejected. Requests that have been temporarily archived show as 'digitisation rejected' which is inaccurate and could be misleading. We would like to request a new status for those requests that exist in the DCS, but have been archived and are not currently available to students.

Citation thumbnail images - upload by Library staff (separate to instructor file upload)
Currently it is only possible to upload a citation thumbnail image in the Leganto interface (Librarian view) when the instructor file upload parameter is set to allow instructors to upload, i.e. maxfilesizeallowedfaculty_MB is not zero.
It would be useful for Library staff to always be able to upload/edit the citation thumbnail image, and for this to be separate from any instructor-only configuration.It would be particularly beneficial as part of enabling Library Staff to check and manage lists, in their own view in the Leganto interface.

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.

Digitisation Approved Alert for Instructors
Feedback from Instructors has been that they would like an alert when a digitisation has been approved/goes live on the list (in our case, from a sync with the DCS). This would both enable instructors to know when the digitisation has gone live, and also enable them to query with the library when they have not received an alert (i.e. that the digitisation hasn't been made, or has been rejected). Alerts would ideally appear as one of the alert option dropdowns in the Leganto interface.

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.

Rename citation file after upload
Currently the only way to change a citation file name is by downloading, renaming, and then reuploading renamed file, after deleting previous version. It would save a lot of time to be able to edit the file name directly in Alma, without having to download and reupload when using a specific name file convention.
The team that scans and uploads files is different to the reading list processing team and the file needs to be named correctly at a later stage after it's been uploaded. We also receive resource sharing files from partner libraries where we can't control how the…

Add purchase request to «Library Services”
At our institution, the instructors have difficulties figuring out how to make a purchase request. We use Leganto questions to make it easier for them, but this works only for some of the ways you can add items in Leganto. Our users assume that the purchase request is in the same location as the digitization request, i.e. under “Library Services” in the “Item actions” tab and as prominent link when the brief view of a citation is open (see print screen), but without instructions it does not occur to them that they have to set a tag for the purchase…

Search or facet for citation library-only notes
There's the possibility to add a library note to citations in Alma, which is not visible in Leganto. Currently this field can be searched only in Analytics (Leganto Citation Library Notes, Leganto Citation Library Notes Last Update). It includes the text of all notes of type Library, and the person who added the note. We would like to use this for internal notes of the acquisitions' team, but the fact that it's hidden in Alma hinders its usability.

Allow "Watch" icon to be Hidden
Please allow the "Watch" icon to be hidden at the citation level to avoid confusion for users when embedded playback is not possible. This would help maintain a smoother user experience in such cases.
We encountered an issue in Leganto involving a YouTube video used as a citation in one of the sections.
The video displays the following message when accessed from the section view:
"Video unavailable. Playback on other websites has been disabled by the video owner. Watch on YouTube."Clicking the "Watch" icon in the Full Details view correctly opens the video in a new window and plays…

New analytics criteria: count of number of sections

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 -
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…65 votes
