  1. Include more information in the course tab on the user profile in Alma

    At the moment the course tab on the user profile only contains columns for Course code and Section. There is no option to add more information about the user course enrollment.

    It would be usefull to have access to more informations about the course enrollement in the user tab: Course name, term, year etc.

  2. Availability of “Request digitization”: Take item policies and existence of a digitization department into account

    In the Leganto UI, the option “request digitization” is sometimes displayed although digitization is actually not possible. There are two different cases:

    1. he item belongs to a library without digitization department.
      If an item belongs to a library without digitization department, the option “request digitization” is still available in the associated citation in Leganto. If an instructor tries to send a digitization request for such an item, an error message is displayed.

    2. The item has an item policy that does not allow digitization.
      If an item associated with a citation in Leganto has a “no copy” item policy, the option…

  3. Bulk job options to remove expired Alma user accounts from courses/reading lists

    We'd like to remove expired Alma accounts from being course instructor/list owner. I picture these as parameters in the Reading List Bulk Update and Course Bulk Update jobs.

    This is similar to an existing idea (https://ideas.exlibrisgroup.com/forums/395697-leganto/suggestions/46475206-improve-handling-of-expired-user-accounts-for-cour) but that one is specifically about flagging expired accounts during rollover, and we do not roll over courses and lists at Surrey.

  4. The ability to suppress the Leganto - Import list functionality.

    Dear colleagues
    University of New South Wales Library is requesting the ability to suppress the ability for an instructor to select the Create list > Import list option in both the classic and new UI environments at certain times of the year.

    UNSW has found that our instructors after using the Import functionality are reporting issues with citation linking. Requiring Library staff to assist by rolling over lists to provide a working link resolving these issues/frustrations.

    We note that other libraries have also discussed this functionality in the community communications. So, we encourage you to consider and support this option.

  5. Multi Course Export

    Leganto currently allows instructors the ability to export a single class list to Excel. We’re asking for an expansion of that ability to allow librarians and/or faculty to export lists from a set of multiple classes at once.

    Use Cases:
    Program Review, this would allow program chairs or deans to review materials in use across their student’s course of study. This would let them analyze their data to identify materials for update and understand when citations overlap to provide a top down view of their program.

    Instructor review, this would allow instructors to easily review the citations used in their…

  6. Leganto questions when someone edits a citation from a book to a book chapter

    We use Leganto questions to ask instructors whether a book chapter should be digitized or not. This works fine when they add a book chapter (manually or via search/Cite it!). However, in many cases, they can only find the whole book via search, and then they edit it and change the material type to book chapter. In these cases, the Leganto questions are not triggered.
    We would like Leganto questions to also be triggered whenever someone changes a citation into a book chapter.

  7. Improve instructor question handling when personal copy option is selected

    We'd like to be able to use the instructor question feature to ask information from faculty if we do not currently have the item in our repository. We've noticed, though, that if the instructor checks the option to provide the library a personal copy, that they would still get the question displayed. Ideally, we'd be able to show a question if both A) we didn't own the item and B) the instructor was not going to provide us a copy.

    We could see this potentially being handled through an additional / tweaked value in "Availability" as done through Configuration >…

  8. Quick Analytics for Instructors

    ls there any way that the course start date field in the quick view analytics (clicking the bar chart logo from the reading list itself) can be changed. It currently shows them usage since the list began, but there is no way for them to see usage in the past academic year only. they need something quick. Something they can share with students... "look there are 50 of you on this course and only 12 of you have looked at this article for today's lesson!"?

    Thanks!

  9. Recommended lists

    in the old interface, in the list search, there are recommended lists. I think it would be interesting if this feature were also available in the new interface.
    In addition, I think it would be interesting for librarians to be able to select reading lists and recommend them to students.

  10. Ability to customize which fields display to the public in Leganto forms

    We would like to be able to customize which fields display to the public in the various forms in Leganto (similar to the configuration options for the various request forms in the GetIt Configuration in Alma for Primo).

    For example, we do not require instructors to indicate start and end dates when configuring lists or submitting digitization and/or copyright clearance requests, so it would be ideal if we could hide those fields from instructors so they don't input anything (and also ensure that the system leaves those fields blank rather than automatically inputting a value).

  11. Last Leganto activity date on the user profile

    That the user profile contains a last leganto activity date along side the last patron activity date. It is not given that users of leganto use the library in a way that would generate a patron activity.
    With leganto the user profile has become important to elements not necessarily connected to library activities but the overall student activities. And especially in purging of users it is important to be able to see if leganto activity is present.

  12. Hide holdings in bulk

    Instructors have the option to hide physical or electronic holdings from students in a citation when the instructormanagecitationavailablelink parameter is set to true. However there is no way to do this in bulk and it makes it difficult where we have a number of reading lists with multiple citations where there's a physical and electronic holding and we want to hide one of these. It would be very helpful for this to be an option.

  13. Duplicate and Connect Courses Information Icon

    We have found the options to duplicate vs connect courses causes a lot of confusion for our faculty. It would be helpful if we could add an information icon on each of those options in the search for reading lists that would display more information about when to select Duplicate vs Connect.

  14. More customisation for 'send for review' process - automatically sent for review, list not published

    I am currently looking at configuring reading list citation statuses/the reading list review process to best fit our workflows for a small team with a large volume of lists. We find that academic staff rarely submit their lists for review so we have a lot of citations sitting in 'being prepared' and lists with completed citations still showing as 'being prepared' when they shouldn't be. Library staff begin work on these 'being prepared' citations as though they are 'ready for processing' regardless of whether the list has been submitted for review by academic staff due to the volume of citations…

  16. Zotero/ Mendeley Import: Add option to select a folder/ a collection

    In Zotero and Mendeley, users can organize their references in folders or collections. In Leganto, however, citations from reference management systems can only be imported at the library level (everything). Especially for users with extensive reference collections, it would be much clearer if a specific folder or a specific collection could be selected when importing citations into Leganto.

  17. Automatic alphabetical sorting within each section

    Several instructors at one of our institutions mentioned that they wished reading lists looked a bit more like bibliographies.

    We are aware that changing the sorting is available in the list or section menu, but for instructors who are reluctant to use Leganto, this is already a step too much.

    We would like a parameter that would, when turned on on institution level, automatically sort the citations by authors within a section.

  18. Add option to import citations in bulk to "Search the Library" and "Import References"

    Currently, it is only possible to add one single citation at a time to a reading list when using "Search the Library" or "Import References from Zotero/from Mendeley". It would be very convenient if instructors could select multiples citations in the results list and import them in bulk into the reading list.

  19. 'Associated with Reading List' column when viewing Course list in Alma

    At the moment when viewing list of courses on Alma, the only way to find out if a course has a Reading List is to use the 'Associated Lists - Exist/None' facet, or by clicking the menu button of the course and then select 'Reading List'.

    It would be much more useful if there was a column that says if the course has an associated Reading List or not. Or even better - have a column to display the number of Reading Lists associated with the course.

  20. Task Widget Filtered by Processing Department

    UNSW is a library with multiple processing departments and during peak Leganto processing times clicking through the Task Widget - Reading Lists/Citations to identify the workload for each dept creates an additional step in the process.

    We do have the ability to filter the Reading Lists etc. by Processing Department once we have clicked on the option in the list, for e.g. Unassigned - Ready for Processing, however it would be helpful if those filters could be applied to the main menu Task Widget - Reading Lists/Citations, visible on the ALMA home page, so that only the options requiring our…
