  1. 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.

  2. Add MARC field 240 as a new field in Leganto

    We have several records representing e-books, which are published as e-books (much) later than when the same content was published as a printed book. The printed book may be published in 2007, the same e-book in 2019, and even if both dates are recorded in the 008-field of the record, this information is not displayed in Leganto. Only the actual publishing year (in our example 2019) is visible to the user. It makes it look like a newer edition, which it is not.
    Ex: https://bibsys-k.alma.exlibrisgroup.com/leganto/readinglist/citation/14473946130002204?institute=47BIBSYS_UBO&auth=SAML

    Our case was closed last time (#05336252) but we are now moving to RDA standards,…

  3. Reset X when searching for items in list should reset results to all citations

    When using "Search for item in this Reading List", if a term returns a subset of citations, clearing the search term using the X ("Reset") icon in the search box does not return the user to the full list. It only clears the term out of the search box, leaving the limited results. The user has no intuitive path back to the full list, so they often click the back button at the top of the window and exit the list entirely.

    Conversely, if the search term returns no results, clicking the X icon does return the user to the…

  5. Enable possibility to create deep-links /search-box for Leganto

    We would like to be able to create a link to predefined searches for courses in Leganto. For example a link that gives you all of the courses from Spring 2022 that covers economy.

    Leganto should support something like this:
    https://[BASEURL]/leganto/rl/search/find/lists?academicDep=ALL&courseCode=&courseName=&courseStatus=ALL&description=economy&direction=asc,asc&instructors=&listName=&publicationStatus=PUBLISHED&sortOrder=code,rlnamesort&term=SPRING&year=2022

    Leganto use this functionality internally and you could create a response that provides a JSON-response.

    It should be added an url-syntax that instead of the JSON converts this to be presented as a regular search-result within Leganto.

    This is an example of a JSON-URL
    https://[BASEURL]/leganto/rl/search/find/lists?academicDep=ALL&courseCode=&courseName=&courseStatus=ALL&description=%C3%B8konomi&direction=asc,asc&instructors=&listName=&publicationStatus=PUBLISHED&sortOrder=code,rlnamesort&term=SPRING&year=2022

    The functionality should support the same parameters/fields as in the…

  6. Keep deleted citation records in the system

    When we remove a citation record the system delete it without any historical information.

    It would be very useful to mantain the information about the deleted citations (and be able to collect this information with Analytics, as is currently the case with bibliographic records) to perform tasks on the documents physically, like changing items location or removing stickers...

  7. The system don't sort correctly the citations without principal author

    When we order a list by author, If you don't have a princial author, it does it wrong. We would like it to be possible to order taking into account field 700 "Additional person name".

    At this time, if there is no principal author, it orders it randomly and it is not a behavior that we want.

  8. Citation creation date and operator should always reflect the most recent action - even when copying citations

    Currently there is a significant problem with how Citation Creation Date works in Alma/Leganto.

    The citation creation date and operator details should always reflect the most recent action - even when copying citations.
    Currently the date is not updated from the original creation, even if a list has been copied by way of list rollover, and then copied, so the date will not reflect the reality of when and who actually did it - this prevents accurate counting of citation creation due to copying, and thus accurate measurement of total citation creation activity, and impedes regular reporting based on creation…

  9. Broken Link improvements

    Currently there is no way to directly contact the original person reporting the broken link (student/lecturer) to let them know the link has been fixed and is available. We would expect the reporter to be notified when a fix has happened, without a notification they will have no idea when a broken link is accessible, or if it can’t be fixed.

    At Imperial we have one Library team who checks and fixes broken links (Acquisitions) and a different team (liaison librarians) who would contact the original person reporting the broken link (student/lecturer) to let them know the link has been…

  10. Automatic status according to material type

    At the moment it's possible to define automatic statuses for a bunch of citation types (electronic, digital, resolved, resource located, etc.)

    What we not yet have is a parameter allowing us to decide the citation status according to material type.

    For example: We'd like citations of type website, audio, database, other, video, etc.) to be set to 'Complete' automatically because this would spare us a lot of time and work as those are not citations we check up on as library.

    This could be solved via a new parameter in the 'Course Reserves Automatic Statuses' table with the parameter value…

  11. Allow file uploads to be visible to students regardless of citation status

    Currently a citation has to be ‘Complete’ for an uploaded file to be visible to students.

    We use 'Course Reserves Automatic Statuses' to change citation statuses from 'Complete' if tags or metadata are edited. This means that students won't be able to view a file if a tutor edits or tags the citation. Library staff can set citations back to complete but are only available in Mon-Fri, 9-5, so students may lose access for several days at a weekend.

    We're currently trialling the 'Social readings' feature where students can highlight and add comments to documents, but the risk of students…

  12. Add option to edit source URLs in bulk

    The option to manually add static URLs to citations is extremely helpful. We use it in various ways, but mainly to point users directly to the resource when it is not possible to do it automatically. However, managing manually added URLs is a nightmare due to the lack of functionality in this area. Whenever an URL needs to be changed (e.g. an EZproxy prefix has to be removed etc.), it must be changed manually.

    We would like to have a possibility to search for and replace/delete part of the citation's source URL by running a job on a set of…

  13. Add option to add multilingual 'Guided Videos' links

    There is only one Video URL field in the Guided Videos mapping table. We are a bilingual library and users switch the interface depending on which language they wish to use.

    To add bilingual guided videos to Leganto, the only option we have is to add Welsh and English links in the same table so that users will see a long list of both options rather than just the links that correspond to their preferred language.

    We would like to see an option to add multilingual video links.

  15. Divide labels into areas for easier management

    Currently there are 2179 label rows. Is a very slow loading table and hard to work with.

    If the management of labels could be organized into areas or sections - something like the label table for Discovery/Primo VE - it would make the work flow a lot smoother, quicker and enjoyable.

  16. My Collection enhancements

    Our instructors are big fans of My Collection but they are missing features that are available for lists:

    1) Sections or folders. Having tags is nice but in no way the same thing

    2) Drag & Drop citations to re-order the list. Goes together with 1) - at the moment there is no way to bring structure to My Collection which makes it cluttered and takes the joy out of working with it.

    3) Separate the menu options into "Suggest item for a list" and "Add item to a list" so that there is a clear distinction between adding something…

    We are closing this idea. Parts 3-6 are available in the new UI. Please open a new idea if you would like additional changes after using Favorites in the new UI.

  17. Display usage relevant to citation type in List Analysis

    Student usage of a citation is only generated if a student interacts with a citation, such as by opening the citation in full view. For some citation types, this does not present a meaningful view of usage.

    For example, for print citations, it would be more relevant to display number of loans for the print copies, rather than evaluating usage purely on how many times the full citation has been viewed. Usage for fields such as Student Full Text Views are also not relevant for this citation type.

    Usage shown in List Analysis should either be relevant across all citation…

  18. Enable set-creation for citations, reading lists, and courses

    At the moment, creating sets for Leganto to run jobs on is a pain - contratry to other indices in Alma you can't just click 'Save Query' and then run a job on the set.
    No, you have to create a list either from an Excel export or Analytics and then create an itemized set from it.

    This is extremely annoying because you have to create a new input list and a new set every time you need to run a job.

    Please enable the creation of (logical) sets for citations, reading lists, and courses from a search in Alma…

  19. Identifying hidden links within Leganto citations in Alma/Leganto or analytics

    There is an option in Leganto citations to hide a link. There is no obvious way to identify all the links that have been hidden.

    Usecase - we noticed that some links have appeared in citations that shouldn't be there. A member of staff uses the function Hide the link when they come across one, which removes the link from student display of the reading list in Leganto.
    There is currently no means to identify all the links in reading lists that have been hidden - we need to identify them at a later date to decide what further actions…

  20. Pulsating/blurring effect in search results is causing visual fatigue

    One of our users says that the pulsating search results that cause the text to become blurry is giving them visual fatigue. See the attached video for an example of what I mean.

    The pulsating and blurring is meant to draw attention to the component in response to the user hovering over the search result with their mouse. (Keyboard navigation doesn't seem to trigger this effect, as far I can tell.)

    Since this visual effect is not essential to the functionality or the information being conveyed, we ask that you please remove this, or allow users to choose to disable…
