Make CITE IT available through LTI integration
It should be possible to install CITE IT through the LTI integration. At the moment it is only possible to install it via the Leganto page.
3 votesIt is possible to install the Cite it tool when accessing Leganto via an LTI link. It is installed from the user menu in the classic UI and the settings menu in the new UI. See attached.

Increase Leganto file size limit from 50 mb
The file size limit for Leganto uploads is 50 mb. We have faculty interested in uploading slides to Leganto, and running into problems due to file sizes above this threshold.
One possible solution would be for Leganto to store files larger than that.
Another option, though probably pretty technically challenging, would be for institutions to use alternative storage space for Leganto uploads (GSuite, Sharepoint, Onedrive, local servers, etc.).
2 votesWe recommend limiting the file size to 50 MB but you can set it to higher than that.

Make page range fields obligatory for book chapters and book extracts
The total number of pages on a list is retrieved from the page range fields for book chapters and book extracts, when these fields are filled out. If they are not, the book's total number of pages is used in the calculation.
It is not likely that this field is going to be relevant when choosing these material types so it should not be used in the calculation.
As of today it is possible to look up a book, change it to book chapter, and save it as is, without having changed the page number at all. This causes the…19 votesSupported since October release

Change the order of sections
It should be possible to change the order of the sections as well, not just the citations. Several of our lecturers have requested this. Today we have to add new sections, then copy the citations and move them to the correct section.

Set Copyright status to approved automatically when no file attached to citation.
Automatic copyright clearance based on local rules in Leganto is only possible in the case of citations that have a file attached.
Our wish is that copyright clearance can also be applied when there is no file attached. Our local rule would then be:
"if no file is attached, the copyright status of the citation must be changed to "approved".3 votesSet all citation types to Approved in Citation Default Copyright Status table. Now, all citations will have the default status of Approved when they are added to Leganto. Additionally, configure the File Upload Copyright Options table to have only one option that maps to a different status, such as “Waiting for Approval.”
If the instructor creates a digitization or copyright request (if you enable this in Leganto), or uploads a file, the copyright status will change from Approved to the appropriate status, depending on your configuration.

Section Link from LTI to be able to go directly to section or collapse all other sections. So that you only see the specific section.
Currently when a users uses a section link via the LTI. The reading list open at the top of the page, with all but one section open. However, if the reading list has over 4 sections before the section that is the main section. The user needs to scroll down to that section, this is not user friendly. It would be better, if when a user opens a section via the LTI, it takes the user directly to the section as the permalink does. Or collapses all other sections, so that only the section is showing.

Display Permalink option with the Section Menu (even for non-instructor/student)
It would be nice to allow the Permalink function to be displayed in the Section Menu even for users who are non-instructor of the course or just students. There is a top level display (reading list) and a low level display (citation), a middle level display (section) on a general level would be helpful.

Ability for ProQuest books to pull and analyse Leganto reading list data with customer permission to check for ebook availability
Would be so useful for Proquest books to be able to identify ebook availabity from our Reading Lists. We would then be able to use this data to decide if we wanted to then purchase the 'e' copy. The data supplied to the customer must include the module number that the 'match' was found against.

Allow links from Alma Reading list course information to the Courses part (where role-appropriate) to ease checking/modifying course detail
Although complicated by considerations of space and multiple course associations on a single list, from a unified workflow perspective it would be very helpful in Alma to let library staff navigate back and forth from a Reading list to the related course(s) information. Currently this is rather clunky as if a list is created by an instructor or LTI method, or otherwise lacks details/needs correction, you have to leave the list to go into Courses separately and re-find the thing you have just left, and then go back to the list again.
It would make sense in an unified resource…

Display physical / electronic availability for citations in Analytics (Course Reserves and Instructor Usage subject areas)
Physical (print) and electronic (ebook) availability cannot be added as columns in these Analytics subject areas. This would be hugely beneficial for most of our daily reports and workflows as we try to ensure that a certain number of copies or electronic versions are available for resources added to reading lists.
An additional requirement is for availability to be shown for records related to the citation. This is because we have separate title records for physical (print) holdings and electronic (ebook) portfolios, and use the related_records parameter in Leganto Customer Settings to display availability for all available formats at citation…

Update Bibliographic details of citations automatically when using Resource Locate
When we use Resource Locate on citations to link to a newer edition of a book, is there a way for Leganto to automatically update the bibliographic data in the citation (edition, publication date, etc.) using the information from the Alma record that Resource Locate is linking to? At present, if we are ordering a new edition then we have to manually amend the bibliographic information of the citation.

Make Leganto permalinks and front page available in different languages by including language parameter in the URL
At present, there is no language parameter in the URL for Leganto permalinks or the Leganto front page, which means that even if we toggle the language from our default (English) to another language, and then copy a permalink, the permalink will default to English when opened.
This is a problem for us as, in Wales, both English and Welsh are given equal status under Welsh Government language standards, and Welsh must not be treated less favourably than English. We need to provide links to Welsh language reading lists for courses taught through the medium of Welsh, which should not…

Copying Citation From One List Directly to Another
Copying a citation from one list to another requires adding to the citation to My Collection, and then going to the target list and opening My Collection, locating the citation, and moving it over. This request is asking for the ability to use the Citation menu to copy a citation from one list directly to another via a course lookup like the one in the Course Association functionality. This would save time and effort, and reduce clutter in My Collection.

Show Author field when list set to Compact View
Our lists are set as compact citation view by default because it's so much easier for users to take in the important information. But the author field does not display on the compact view, which can be confusing for students since instructors refer students to "Read Smith & Brown, chapter 2," for example. It should be immediately clear to students who the author of each citation is even when accessing the reading list from compact view. We are implementing Leganto and were told by our ExL implementation consultant that this is not configurable currently.

Export permalinks as part of list/section export
When exporting a list or a list section to Word, it would be very useful if the permalinks were also exported, as part of the citation. It is good practice and we would encourage our instructors to use full references if they want to add links to individual readings in topic areas of the VLE courses (or in email communications or on Powerpoint slides). In order to encourage instructors to comply, we would like to make this process as quick and simple as possible. Our suggestion to them is to export the section of the list to Word and to…

Leganto navbar (add 'useful links' to the top of the Leganto User Interface)
The navigation bar (banner/header) in the Leganto User Interface currently does not have the functionality to add 'useful links/URLs (like it does in Primo VE e.g. header links to a 'new search', 'library homepage', 'help', etc.) to it. The ability to add URLs/links to the navigation bar would allow our patrons to access institution specific materials/webpages, such as, user manuals, copyright information, Library homepage, Primo VE, etc..
