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.

Better options/formatting when exporting a list to PDF
Exporting to PDF is a useful function but not very useable as it is:
A list of 11 citations will turn into a 5 page-pdf, with 2 citation per page most of the time (probably due to too much space in between citations).
This is clearly not good if one exported the list in order to print it, so this should be reviewed and adjusted.We also hope it will eventually be possible to choose a reference style when exporting to PDF (as with Word), once issues in that regard are fixed and the exported lists are judged satisfactory according…

Allow instructors to see List and Item Discussions more clearly
Although there are concerns around anonymity of list and item level discussions, instructors are interested in being able to easily get a course-level overview of the discussions on their lists, and items on their lists. Currently the Notifications can help to get instructors to individual comments, but these have no course context, having list filtering and no course details. Being able to see whole discussions from notifications and seeing the courses with which they are associated would help greatly here.
For example, if a lecturer is seeking feedback on assigned readings on a list, it would be useful to be…

Allow reading list status to be changed (in bulk) from Task List without having to assign first
Currently there is no way to bulk select lists in the reading list tasklist page and change their status (e.g. to "being processed" or additional local RL statuses) without inidvidually assigning them first. This is a great ineffeciency for the tasklist, as it would really help to 'group' a set of newly received lists as 'being processed' in a single go, rather than having to go into each and every single list first. The set functionality for lists is fine, but this is something which is crying out to be possible from the Reading list task list. Equivalent features exist…

Improvment for the alert filter in Alma
In Fulfillment > Citation
This filter is automatically set to "Alert:All" so we would expected the citations shown under to be all citations with alert, but this in not the case (only shows all citations).
The way we see it, the filter should be blank by default and "All" should be a possible choice, allowing to show all the citations with an alert.1 vote -
Always show the "Add" option in the Leganto 'Search Library (Primo API search) search results
Currently when using the search library feature (calling search scopes from a Primo view) to add items to a reading list, the search results appear but users need to click on the result before an "add" option appears.
This is a completely redundant click: it reduces the efficiency of adding resources this way by increasing the time and effort required to add every single item.
It is a strange design choice to hide the most obvious (and currently the only unless 'Add + Edit' is added) option and quite annoying in the User interface, having a negative impact on the…

No openURL in exported reference lists with reference styles (Chicago and APA)
When exporting citations to Word with a reference style, openURLs are included to some citations such as journal articles and electronic books.
Example:
https://bibsys-um.userservices.exlibrisgroup.com/view/uresolver/47BIBSYS_HIM/openurl?ctx_enc=info:ofi/enc:UTF-8&ctx_id=10_1&ctx_tim=2017-10-18T15%3A36%3A41IST&ctx_ver=Z39.88-2004&url_ctx_fmt=info:ofi/fmt:kev:mtx:ctx&url_ver=Z39.88-2004&rfr_id=info:sid/primo.exlibrisgroup.com-BIBSYS_ILS&req_id=&rft_dat=ie=47BIBSYS_UBTO:5194209890002205,ie=47BIBSYS_HIO:5149861280002218,ie=47BIBSYS_HIM:5116987240002223,ie=47BIBSYS_HH:5153300090002214,ie=47BIBSYS_NETWORK:71468414340002201,language=eng,view=HIM&svc_dat=viewit&u.ignore_date_coverage=true&user_ip=&req.skin=primoThis should not be the case.
According to both APA and Chicago, the DOI should be included if one is assigned.
If none is assigned, then you can include a URL. So URLs are not strictly necessary and they don't need to appear in the citation if the DOI is present.APA just requires to write DOIs such as "DOI:10.1057/palgrave.kmrp.8500141", while Chicago seems to require DOI-based URLs:

More self explanatory labels in the Leganto Publishing Configuration
The labels in the Leganto Publishing Configuration (Configuration > Fulfillment > Leganto > Publishing) are rather confusing.
"Anyone Restricted" especially has been a cause of misunderstanding with both Ex Libris and institutions in our consortium. A simple change such as "Anyone Restricted, Course students only" for example would make it easier to immediately understand who has access to uploaded files.But all labels in general would benefit from a more self explanatory formulation, for example:
List anyone,
List all students,
List course students,, course materials anyone
, course materials all students
, course materials course students1 vote -
Searching or refining a search with publication year
The citation search in Leganto has been significantly improved with the material type facets.
But it could be made even more efficient and userfriendly with the possibility to search or filter by publication year.
Some publications such as reports have the same title and the time of publication is a good way to differentiate between them and/or easier to remember than a DOI.7 votes -
Ability to customise the Leganto entry screen to reflect institutional requirements
The screen a) should be able to support basic theme branding to align with institutional branding to support a seamless experience when integrated with an LMS b)support the restructuring of the page to reflect organizational priorities c) support the addition of items and renaming of options using terms relevant to the institution.
5 votesWe are closing this idea because there have been significant changes to the entry screens and there are many new options for customizing labels and other features since this idea was originally created. Please open a new idea with current requirements if still needed.

Getting Started Reading List
When a new user accesses the reading list system maybe they should be greeted with an example reading list which includes citations from Leganto YouTube playlist showing the features and how to use the system. Possibly create a student version and another for the reading list designer to show. Librarians could edit the Getting Started List to include their own citations and sections as well

Public and Library Tags
Currently both Library and Public tags are a closed, predefined set. It would be a better user experience if tags were open (especially Public tags) and could be created by both Librarians and Instructors, as and when required.
5 votesWe believe, that tags should be the same across all institution’s lists in order to unify the view to students.
Also, when tags are associated to business activities that will impact the library workflow such as items priority, the same terminology should be applies across all the lists as well. -
Sub-divide sections within a reading list
As an instructor, I would like to be able to sub-divide sections within a reading list, e.g. Week 1 is a section, subdividing this into Mandatory, Optional, tutorial question, etc
27 voteswe do not want Leganto to have more than one hierarchy because, we would like to keep an easy reading list material discovery (no hidden citations) and also, to have homogeneous view between all the lists (for better student’s UX)

Being able as an instructor to see all reading lists attached to a specific course
As an instructor, it might be useful to search for a course (whether it is the instructor's courses or a collaborator's courses) to obtain the list of all related reading lists of that specific course. Right now, in the Instructor page, the search for course name will only list the reading list that the instructor has already created, or followed. Thanks
