We have three kinds of content:
* copyrighted material - should never be OA
* teacher-created content that they want to keep to their class only
* teacher-created content that they'd like to share with other teachers and/or use to promote their class

To accommodate this third group, we'd like functionality that would let teachers tag content they've uploaded to be made open access. Functionality should:

• make teachers confirm they (or the university as their employer) own the IP




• let them choose a Creative Commons license




• provide a permalink for the item where it's accessible publically




• provide a platform where the public can search and browse all the institution's open access content




• provide a platform where teachers can search and browse materials from the whole the Leganto community, and easily add to their own class reading lists




• provide a machine-readable way for other OER/content aggregators to harvest metadata about the content (eg DigitalNZ harvests OA teaching materials from our Equella repository using OAI-PMH)

Sometimes instructors perform a citation search in Leganto and just add the first result that comes up in the search results; often this is actually a book review or other format that isn't logical for reserves. Additionally, most instructors are searching and expecting the latest edition to appear first in the list. Other faculty from certain departments want to choose a particular edition, and so need edition information prominently surfaced in the search result.

This results in processing delays as staff must check with instructors to clarify what items they really intended to place on reserve.

One possible solution may be to offer an option for faculty to specially indicate that the submitted citation must be filled as specified (format/edition). Something could indicate that by default, any available edition can be substituted for the one added to the list as a result of search.

In Leganto there is now functionality to directly embed citations. This can be enabled so that links can be embedded in the citation screen and the site shows in Leganto without the student having to view it in another tab.

This works well when the URL can be directly resolved. However, if a link must go through a proxy authentication mechanism before it can resolve then a large blank space shows in the Leganto citation instead of the site or proxy login screen.

We propose the ability to configure Leganto so that you can choose to only allows links that do not go through a proxy authentication mechanism to be embedded in the citation. If the link does go through a proxy authentication mechanism then the option to embed the link in the citation would not show.

Problem: A lack of FRBRisation in bibliographic records in Alma means that in Leganto different formats of the same title can only be offered on individual citations, i.e. the print edition will be one
citation, and the eBook will be on another citation. We want to be able to offer all available formats of a title to our students.

Impact: Without the ability to combine citations of the print and electronic version of the same title, they currently appear as if they are two required readings (see attachment 1).

The lack of ability to combine multiple versions of the same title clutters the display of the reading list, creates a misleading volume of readings, and generates duplication of effort.

Desired outcome: We would like to be able to add a citation for a title in a certain format, and from that citation, search for related versions in other formats and combine these into a single Leganto citation. These would then appear in the same display as FRBRised citations (see attachments 2 and 3).

If possible, it would be helpful if we could also combine our holdings for different printings/editions of the print format in order to meet demand across related titles in our collection.

We prefer the option to add sections or move citations to different sections within Alma. The assigned section is shown for each citation in the overview of the Readinglist (see attachment ‘Section Alma’) but it only possible to change a section by drag&drop in Leganto. This is less convenient for librarians when we create or change a list on behalf of an instructor (and work from Alma). For lists that have a lot of sections and citations, the moving of citations in Leganto is also not the most user-friendly way (and the most secure way – a citation is easily dropped in the wrong section while scrolling).

This is a very simply display improvement. Students looking for lists from searchlists often want to find their list by instructor name. Sometimes they will browse by department, or try to find their course amongst other sections and there is no indication of who the list instructor is from the brief list record. Even if they search by that name, they may misspell it and still have to and have to click through to open the course to be assured they have the right list. Adding it with the code at the bottom of the display would be a useful addition.
