  1. Display Public Access Model message in Leganto

    At UNSW, we use portfolio’s Public Access Model to indicate if an eBook has unlimited or restricted access. The same message also shows in Primo so users are aware of the conditions before accessing eBooks.

    We believe the information will also benefit our Leganto users, but unfortunately, the message doesn’t display in Leganto, so we would like to propose the idea of displaying the Public Access Model message in Leganto.

    We raised a case with Ex Libris, but they said it is not part of their current development work plan.

  2. Configure default status for Library Physical Digitization requests

    When working with citations, we would like the ability to configure the default status when a Library Physical Digitization request has been submitted.

    Parameters available via the Course Reserves Automatic Statuses mapping table allow default statuses to be assigned for resource sharing requests and purchasing requests. Could an additional parameter be added for Library Physical Digitization requests?

  3. Customize and/or hide out-of-the-box publishing statuses

    The publishing statuses are many and confusing.
    An institution rarely uses more than two. We would like to be able to:
    - hide the irrelevant statuses, to avoid them being selected by librarian and instructors
    - customize the names of the statuses to make them clearer.

    Use case: one of our institutions decided on a specific status for all faculties/departments, with the exception of one department that wants lists to be more restricted. The publishing status for this specific department could be customized with the department name.

  4. 'No List Expected' to show in Leganto

    Really like the 'No list expected' feature in ALMA, but it would be even better if it reflected in Leganto as well for the user.

    So if this is checked in ALMA, in Leganto it would state something like 'There is no Reading List for the course by design' to differentiate from ones where the List is still in 'Draft' or hasn't been created / has been un-associated or deleted (possibly by accident).

  5. Search field to look up lists to copy sections to

    When copying a section, one can choose which reading list the section will be copied to. This solution makes difficult for staff enrolled on a large number of lists, as the correct list to move the section to can then fall off the drop down menu. Instead of a dropdown menu we would like a search field so that staff can look up the list instead, the same way one can look up courses when associating a list to a course.

  6. Enable customization of new edition tag

    Use case: a librarian identifies an open textbook, or other title that would make a good replacement since an ebook of the prescribed text cannot be obtained. This is NOT a new edition of the title, but the functionality can be used to good effect in this scenario.

    There are other scenarios for using the new edition functionality where the system tag "New edition" is not meaningful. We would like to customise it to something like "Alternative Suggested"

    The notifications labels for this are customisable so it makes sense that the tag should be customisable too.

    Case: 06705050

  7. Add "keep both" option for citation replacement (new edition) feature

    The new feature (April 2023) could be used for suggesting alternative titles not just newer editions.

    There use cases where the instructor wants to retain the current item and the suggested item.

    A "keep both" button that inserts the suggested item into the list immediately after the current item would enhance this new feature.

  8. Allow courses to be marked as not requiring a reading list - in bulk

    The NERS 2022 enhancement #7744 delivered in Jan 2023 allowed individual courses in Alma to be marked as not requiring a reading list. However it did not allow for any bulk method of marking courses as not requiring reading lists.

    It would be a distinct advantage for good and accurate administration of course details to allow for bulk methods of marking courses appearing in Alma as not requiring reading lists.

    This could be achieved in multiple ways for example via bulk options from the Courses search, or via the Course Bulk Update, but the need is to be able to…

  9. Allow instructors to set a course as deliberately having no reading list

    After the Jan 2023 release, a course can be marked as deliberately having no reading list in Alma (NERS 2022 #7744).

    However there is no way for instructors to set this flag by themselves which would be a logical and convenient way of adding this information which the Library itself would not necessarily know itself from year-to-year or term to term.
    It would also allow the Library to promote the flagging of courses as not requiring a list each year.

    Instead, instructors have to contact the Library to set it on their behalf which creates extra work.

    We would like…

  10. Change the message students see when clicking an LTI link if a course deliberately has no reading list

    When students click an LTI link for a course with no reading list associated, they currently see a message saying that there is no reading list for the module. This message also displays even when the course has been marked as deliberately having no reading list.

    This means students do not know whether there is deliberately no reading list, or whether one should be expected, and they have to contact their tutor or the Library to find out, causing needless confusion.

    We would like the text of the message to be different if there is deliberately no reading list, so…

  11. Secure access to restricted image files via the thumbnail

    Guest users are able to access restricted image files via the thumbnail.

    When the institution has specifically restricted access to files, then guest users should not be able to view or download the file.

    However, for images, Leganto creates a thumbnail which is visible to guests. Worse than this, if the user right clicks the thumbnail they can then view or save the image file.

    This is a breach of the security configuration and may infringe copyright or permissions for use of the image.

    We would expect that for guests (or signed-in users who are restricted (eg. not a student…

  12. Move multiple citations to another section on a reading list

    When editing/updating reading lists, it would be useful to be able to move multiple items to another section of a reading list in bulk, for example by updating the 'Edit Multiple Items' function to include a move action, alongside a dropdown for the user to be able to select which section to move the citations to.

  13. Option to link Leganto citation metadata to Alma/Primo bibliographic data

    Bibliographic metadata for books is often improved in Alma/Primo after a citation has been created in Leganto. We would like the option to link the citation metadata from Alma/Primo so that when Alma/Primo metadata is updated, the Leganto citation metadata would be updated also.

  14. Language as part of a citation - duplicate

    This is a duplicate of an existing Idea. The original Idea has status Accepted, but Ex Libris will not implement this without some more traction of the idea. You can't vote for an Idea with status Accepted, thus a duplicate.

    We would like that the language of the document to be part of the citations. In a non-english speaking country as Norway there are political interest to see how much of the reading are in Norwegian and how much that are in other languages.

    Language is a part of the records in Alma, and also for the records that are…

  15. Email notification function for mark as broken

    I'm writing about Leganto's "mark as broken" feature.
    Since it is difficult for librarians to notice when a user marks as broken, we request a function that sends email notifications in real time.

  16. Support Local Resource Types in Library Search faceting

    Provide the option to include Local Resource Types in Leganto’s Library Search facets.

    We have created Alma Local Resource Types for use in Primo. However, those resource types are not reflected in Leganto’s Library Search resource type facets. As a result users have no way to limit by those local resource types.

    For example, we have created a local resource type printbook, and all remaining ebook items that don’t fit the local printbook criteria remain in the default book facet. Leganto users can limit by the default “Book” resource type which actually contains our ebooks, but cannot limit…

  17. Link prioritization in Leganto

    Some aggregators, e.g. EBSCO, don't make preprints available as quickly as publishers, e.g. Wiley. But because the preprints do fall in our coverage range, the aggregator links appear and look like broken links. In discovery, we can use Link Prioritization to place the publisher links above the aggregator links. Direct linking, then, doesn't point to "broken" links.
    Can Leganto set up Link Prioritization too? So that we can place the functional links (publisher) above broken links (aggregator).

  18. Fix citations reverting to older editions when added from the 'Rialto search scope' in Leganto

    The current problem occurs when we use the Rialto search scope in Leganto to find a new edition of a book, and we already hold previous edition(s) of the same title. When we add the title to the reading list, it associates to the ISBN of previous editions and the citation reverts to an older held version. This is the opposite of what we want it to do, we want it to be used to highlight where a new edition is available so we can begin a purchase of this new content - which would be in ProQuest's interests too!

  19. Increase the number of page range fields for Book Extract citation type

    Colleagues whose day job involves working with Leganto have expressed interest in being able to add more page range fields for the Book Extract citation type.

    At the moment there are only two page range fields that can be made use of, which use these types:

    • Start Page
    • Start Page2
    • End Page
    • End Page2

    We would like to be able to add at least 4 page ranges, so have these field types available also:

    • Start Page3
    • End Page3
    • Start Page4
    • End Page4

    Thank you for your consideration!

  20. Header

    In a course reading list within Leganto, it should be possible to 1) make the header persistent or 2) always hide once you start scrolling. In 3 different browsers - Chrome, Edge, and FireFox - when we scroll, the header sometimes shrinks and stays that way (which is good) and other times, it pops back up. This is a UI issue and should be an easy fix and/or configuration, but it is rather annoying for users when the header keeps minimizing and then un-minimizing, over and over again.
