1. Leganto mobile Experience improvement

   Some functional and layout aspects need to be improved in the Leganto Mobile Experience.

   1. Leganto mobile hasn't any top header; the app is completely anonymous (neither the institution logo nor the name of the product is visible)

   2. 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.

   3. 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

2. 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.

3. 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 it manually.

   Use case: in our VLE (Brightspace) the academic staff associated with a module have different roles, either ‘Module Leader’, 'Module Co-Leader' or ‘Module Teaching Team’.
   We have always had the LTI role mapping rule enabled since implementing Leganto, and the configuration for course instructors to be given ownership of associated reading lists, meaning any academic who clicks through to a reading list from their module page is assigned as instructor of the course and owner of the list. This saves work as it means collaborators don’t have to request ownership to the appropriate lists and list owners/library staff don’t have to then add them manually.

   However, due to a recently developed integration with another system (e-textbook supplier), we now need to identify the module leader in Leganto. We’ve had to edit course instructors in bulk via Course Loader to just show the module lead so only they show as List Owner; assign other teaching staff manually as List Collaborators; and will either tweak or turn off the LTI rule or leave it and clean up any future issues as they arise, none of which seems ideal.

   Ideally I want any person who is Module Leader/Co-Leader in Brightspace to be Course Instructor and Reading List Owner in Alma (ie the process we’ve been using), and I’d like there to be a parallel Alma role/mapping process for the Module Teaching Team in Brightspace, ie Course Collaborator and Reading List Collaborator. This would mean we could utilise the LTI mapping rule without issue, nobody would have to manually request or assign collaborators, and would also mean we could edit collaborators in bulk via the Course Loader form if need be.

   For us it isn't about the specifics of the reading list editing permissions, we just want to:
   a) clearly identify who is the module leader from the Leganto interface;
   
   b) be able to update all associated staff of courses/lists in a bulk job.

4. 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.

5. 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.

6. 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.

7. 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.

8. 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 file is named and need to rename the file after it is received.

   The naming file convention is important to internal processes and for compliance. The ability to rename the file directly in the system would be helpful in streamlining our processes and creating a more efficient working environment.

10. 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 request.

    We think that it would improve the usability of the Leganto UI if purchase requests could be made at the same location and in a similar way as digitization requests. It could be implemented in such a way that after clicking on “Purchase Request” a small form would open in which the users could specify some essential information (e.g. electronic or physical copy) and could add an optional note. The information could be linked to corresponding tags (like in the Leganto questions) so that the current workflow could be continued after this.

12. 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 to include weblinks alongside more traditional resources if we can explain that we will be checking that these links continue to work. In addition students engage better with reading lists which contain the full variety of formats.

13. 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 to expand their search to all archived lists via an allowlist or by using a role that is specific to library staff role
    2) Add a parameter that allows interested libraries to maintain this functionality in the NUI, ie true/false enables archive search to include all archived lists
    3) Add additional search option which allows an expanded archive search including all lists

    Use Cases:
    The library staff’s main concern when duplicating (copying or rolling over) lists is to maintain the permalinks from the previous list. In the NUI, staff are running into issues as they are not list owners for most of the archived lists. This prevents librarians from using Find Lists in Leganto when working to duplicate an archived list for faculty/staff.
    While library staff can add themselves as owners in Alma, this adds complexity to the process. This requires staff who primarily work in Canvas/Leganto to manage tasks in Alma, instead of being able to function fully in Leganto. Further, requiring library staff to be owners of archived lists add visual clutter and irrelevant lists to their Alma workspace. When working with faculty in rolling over/duplicating their courses, the library staff often work outside of their departments. As such it seems a little ridiculous that library staff need to be attached to all of the archived lists as owners to be able to help any faculty/staff member in Leganto.
    Further, while staff can make copies/duplicate within Alma, this workflow doesn’t maintain the permalinks, adding additional steps/work for staff to replace a process that is seamless in the Old UI.

14. 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 be available after the end date (or before the start date).
    As a workaround, we changed the labels with a warning in order to discourage instructors from filling these fields, but it was not as effective as we needed.

15. 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.

18. 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 without issues. However, clicking the same "Watch" icon from the Section view fails due to the playback restriction set by the content owner.

19. "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.

20. 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.
