Display related title electronic / physical availability in Alma citation search
We rely on related records to enable all availability options to display where different formats have separate bib records (as a citation can only be resource located to one record at a time). It would be useful if a 'Related' availability tab could appear in Alma alongside Physical, Electronic, Digital and Other.

Use Analytics to surface information on user activity in My Collection
We would like to use Analytics to see user activity in My Collection, for example how many times a title has been added to My Collection (but not necessarily added to a reading list).
14 votesWe will not offer this; My Collection is private to the user. If the primary concern is about copyright, note that files uploaded to citations which have the Copyright Auditing Required checkbox enabled are only accessible through the list and within the dates specified in the copyright record. Files cannot be accessed from My Collection when the citation has an associated copyright record.

Chapter number and author to display more prominently
We would like the citation chapter number and author to be displayed alongside the chapter title (slightly larger, bold font).
Currently these fields display on the second line alongside the book title and publisher information, which lacks clarity (see attachment).

Would it be possible to copy multiple sections from one list to another?

Option to hide panels
Would it be possible for the top and left panels to be visible as default, with the option for the user to hide them using the tabs (rather than making them hidden as default)?
1 voteNo longer relevant with 2023 new UI

Drag citations from list into My Collection
Could functionality be added so that citations which appear in lists can be copied to My Collection by drag and drop (rather than via options > copy to collection).
This seems logical, as you can do the reverse action to copy a citation from My Collection to a list via drag and drop.

View course name when selecting list in Cite It
Currently you can only view the list name and course code. Instructors won't always be able to identify the correct list here, as they might not know the course code and their list might have a generic name ("Reading List") which does not offer any indication of the course.

Allow tags to be added in Cite It
Would it be possible to assign tags to citations directly from the Cite It window, rather than having to locate them in Leganto and tag afterwards?

Instructor / list owner to receive notification when list and/or all list citations marked complete
It would be useful for the instructor to know when all citations have been dealt with by library staff so that they can then choose to publish their list (rather than making the list available to students despite some items not being obtainable).

Identifying citations added via student suggestions
We would like to be able to identify which citations have been added to lists by instructors from suggestions made by students.

Auto-complete citations with uploaded files based on extension
To allow for files to be uploaded and marked complete without the checkbox asking users to confirm that they authored the file in question.

Make the 'Mark as read' symbol more prominent
We feel that students are not making best use of this feature, perhaps because it's not immediately clear that the small 'tick' icon carries this function. Could this be displayed more clearly, for example by displaying the 'Mark as read' text without having to hover over the icon.
0 votesClosing because the option to mark an item as done is different in the new UI. Please open a new idea if desired.

Allow citations to be detached from resources in bulk
It would be useful to have this as an option from the Citations list in Alma

View list citations in different referencing styles
Would it be possible to apply different bibliographic styles within the Leganto list view, as well as being able to apply these when exporting to Word format.
38 votesAfter evaluation, we have decided not to do this development. The main reason is that Leganto citations do not always cleanly map to specific citation formats, largely because we do not hold the author first and last name in separate fields. We do not want to have the list in improperly formatted citations which cannot be easily fixed by the instructor.

Define locally how much of a citation is shown i a reading list
If a public note is registered on a citation, it will be shown on one line only in the list itself, hiding parts of the text if the note is too long.
We would like institutions to be able to locally define how many lines are to be shown for each citation in the reading list itself.2 votes -
Reading List Status Changes based on Citations Statuses and Assignees
It would be great if the manual process of Changing a Reading List Status could be automated by Alma dependant on factors like Assignee being set to someone, rather than being for the Reading List. This could trigger the List Status to change from Waiting for Processing to Being Processed.
Another Reading List Status automation we would suggest is that when every Citation in a Reading List is marked Citation Status Complete, this could trigger the Reading List Status to be updated Complete.
Both of these Reading List Status changes are things that need to be performed manually at present…

Autocomplete Non-CiteIt Citations based on Material Type or other configured rules
It would be very useful to be able to have configuration in Alma that would allow citations with a specific list of defined Material Types to be set to citation status: Complete and Copyright Status: Not Required or Approved automatically when they first are created on the Reading List. This would save staff working on Reading lists where there are numerous citations which need no copyright approval or should be auto Approved and need no user intervention, to be automatically marked complete if they matched a configurable list of material types exiting in Alma already.
At the moment it takes…

Extra scope in Leganto with all the citations already processed by the library
We would like another scope to be added in Leganto: The completed Leganto citations already approved by the library. Effectively, the content in Alma>Fulfillment>Course Reserves>Citations.
In most cases a citation will rarely be perfect when you import it to a reading list. You usually have to customize the citation in some way. To be able to reuse the already processed and completed citation will save a lot of work for both instructors and/or librarians. This is especially true for book chapters, as not many are catalogued in Alma as such.
Completed citations could be easily searchable by instructors in Leganto.
