The possibility of adding and removing tags in bulk from a citation result search
In Alma> citation search:
Sometimes you have several citations that need to have added or removed the same tag. Now, you need to open every single citation or run a job.
It would be a nice workflow if there was an action to tick-off and add a tag in bulk from the search result display just like we’re able to remove alerts in bulk.13 votes -

Make it possible for students to view archived lists in leganto.
A course may have ended but students often need to refer to old lists and the literature shared in the coming semesters.
That means that students often accumulate a lot of lists during the years enrolled, making the lists-list long in leganto – and us having a lot of active lists for ended courses in Alma.
It would be great if students could access archived lists from somewhere in their list tab in leganto. If archived lists weren’t just available for instructors then we could use the archive function to keep a better focus for both instructors and students in…

Allow institutions to configure the maximum number of citations on a list after which sections will be collapsed by default
It would be useful if we could configure the number of citations on a reading list over which the sections will be collapsed by default. The system setting is that any list over 100 items will be collapsed as default view, and we have the setsectionview parameter set to 'Yes' to allow default view to be manually overridden on a list by list basis, but we'd like there to be something in between that kicks in automatically, so shorter lists will still be expanded (which saves staff/students having to make extra clicks to view the full list) but…

Ability to edit/streamline clipboard Leganto Task List
The current Leganto Task List includes items that are not tasks - they are completed. We'd like to be able to config/edit this display so that only actual tasks ie. 'processing' and 'ready for processing' are displayed.

Allow additional staff roles to be configurable in Courses and displayed in Leganto
I would love the option to configure a new Course Instructor role in Alma/Leganto; it could be called something like ‘Course Collaborator’ to use wording consistent with other similar roles. This could then map more accurately between different staff roles in the VLE and different reading list ownership roles. Currently there is only one overarching Course role (Instructor), but the Course is the LTI linking point between VLE page and reading list, and the Course Loader is where you update details in bulk, so there does not seem a good way of keeping 'list collaborators' up to date without doing…

Display the "Add Citation" button as citations are added to a Reading List in ALMA
We propose that the "Add Citation" option within a Reading List in ALMA become fixed (visible to the editor) as the editor adds citations.
Currently, in lists with many citations, the editor must return to the top of the List to continue adding citations.
It would be helpful to make the "Add Citation" option more accessible to avoid constantly scrolling back to the top.

Search or facet for citation library-only notes
There's the possibility to add a library note to citations in Alma, which is not visible in Leganto. Currently this field can be searched only in Analytics (Leganto Citation Library Notes, Leganto Citation Library Notes Last Update). It includes the text of all notes of type Library, and the person who added the note. We would like to use this for internal notes of the acquisitions' team, but the fact that it's hidden in Alma hinders its usability.

Expand Cross Ref Link resolver to include article subtitle
We have encountered cases wherein the Leganto articles do not resolve to the correct article; instead, they link to another article with the same title. After consultation with Ex Libris, this linking error was determined to occur for articles with duplicate titles because the CrossRef DOI enrichment for the linking parsers only uses the title as a match point.
Currently, addressing these errors requires Ex Libris intervention to make an exception for the citation. To prevent these errors in the future without one-off exceptions, we request an expansion of the CrossRef augmentation logic to include the subtitles.

Link from course info to reading lists
Today for the two thousandth time(*) I've searched in Alma for a course and absent-mindedly clicked the course code link in order to get to the reading lists, then had to go back and get to them via the ... menu instead.
Reading lists have a "Courses" tab - can the course information page please have a "Reading lists" tab? Or even just a link from the sidebar to the "Course's Reading List " page.
(*) Conservative estimate.

Improve Calculation of 'Date Available From' for Copyright Approved Citations
The 'Date Available From' field in the copyright details of a citation should accurately reflect the date that students could access the uploaded file for a copyright approved citation.
However, currently, for citations with copyright approval that were created by rolling over a list, the 'Date Available From' field, defaults to the course start date, even if the citation was created after the course began. This is problematic because if the citation didn't exist at the start of the course, then the 'Date Available From' field doesn't reflect the actual earliest date students could access the uploaded file.
Example scenario:

Don't include deleted citations in analytics reports
I regularly work from quite long Leganto analytics reports to tidy up data and correct any errors in citation records. One thing that is very frustrating and wastes quite a lot of time is that citations which I can only presume have been deleted appear in such reports. I'm not sure why they should appear if they have been deleted (or the list they appear on has been deleted) but it would be great if the analytics reports could be tweaked so that such citation IDs no longer appear. Either that or at least have an option to exclude them.

Allow "Watch" icon to be Hidden
Please allow the "Watch" icon to be hidden at the citation level to avoid confusion for users when embedded playback is not possible. This would help maintain a smoother user experience in such cases.
We encountered an issue in Leganto involving a YouTube video used as a citation in one of the sections.
The video displays the following message when accessed from the section view:
"Video unavailable. Playback on other websites has been disabled by the video owner. Watch on YouTube."Clicking the "Watch" icon in the Full Details view correctly opens the video in a new window and plays…

Link to course
When attempting to link a reading list to a course in Leganto, the dropdown menu does not display the instructor names - only Instructor's Alma ID numbers. This creates a challenge, especially for courses with multiple instructors, as it's difficult to identify the correct course without visible names.
As a result, we often need to switch back to Alma to look up the instructor’s ID number in order to select the appropriate course. This adds unnecessary steps and reduces efficiency.
It would greatly improve usability if instructor names were displayed alongside instead of ID numbers in the dropdown menu. Thank…

Configuration option to automatically remove tags depending on the citation status
Some tags in Leganto are only used to trigger or label library workflows, e.g. purchase requests and digitization. If a citation with such a tag is set to complete, the workflow is also completed, and the tag is therefore no longer required. At the moment, these tags can only be removed manually. We would like to have the option to configure that such tags are automatically removed when the citation is set to ‘Complete’ or another citation status defined by the library.

New analytics criteria: count of number of sections

Rename citation file after upload
Currently the only way to change a citation file name is by downloading, renaming, and then reuploading renamed file, after deleting previous version. It would save a lot of time to be able to edit the file name directly in Alma, without having to download and reupload when using a specific name file convention.
The team that scans and uploads files is different to the reading list processing team and the file needs to be named correctly at a later stage after it's been uploaded. We also receive resource sharing files from partner libraries where we can't control how the…

Favourite facets filter
Description:
The ability to quickly select an option of already saved facet filters in Alma Course Reserves for Citations would ensure an efficient way of getting to items that need our attention with one click of a button.Impact:
We use different filters like Citation Status, Tags, Copyright Status, to process any items as we’re preparing lists. Currently there’s no way to quickly select different facets at once and we need to select each facet as a filter one by one which takes time to load and refresh the results each time as well.Expected outcome:

Add a status of 'digitisation archived' for DCS requests
Currently there are two statuses for digitisation request licence status - approved or rejected. Requests that have been temporarily archived show as 'digitisation rejected' which is inaccurate and could be misleading. We would like to request a new status for those requests that exist in the DCS, but have been archived and are not currently available to students.
