  1. Different student notifications on a course-by-course or instructor-by-instructor basis

    When we were setting up student notifications for Leganto, different instructors wanted different notifications sent out to students in their courses (for example, some instructors wanted students to be notified when new citations were added but others did not). However, you can only set which notifications are sent to students at the institution level, so those selections cannot be customized per course and must use the lowest common denominator. We think it would be helpful if instructors can choose on a per-course basis or a per-instructor basis (affecting all of their courses only) which notifications are sent to students.

  2. Related records: Show holdings for chapters only

    Showing holdings in Leganto for book chapters* requires that the parameter related_record is set to Yes. An unfortunate consequence is that this also shows holdings for other types of related records, like for example a book and the associated exercise book. Holdings for both books are shown together which is of course misleading and confusing.

    We would like to keep the related record parameter on, but make it so that the type of related record included in the displayed holding is more selective.

    In Alma, the relation is expressed in MARC field 773 (Host Item Entry). If the second Indicator…

  3. Add option for Leganto Detailed Notifications Letter to be "opt in" by default

    Hello,

    We had the Leganto Detailed Notifications Letter switched on, but because there is no option currently for this to be "opt in" by default rather than "opt out" by default, we have had to switch it off again. We are only in our pilot phase so may consider switching the Letter back on later when most of our staff are using Leganto RLs. But for now it's not ideal for all instructors to get notifications when they aren't using Leganto.

    We don't have control over how many instructors are attached to our courses, and because of the way courses…

  4. Increase the Loading Performance of Larger Reading Lists

    We would like to be able to create reading lists with more than 100 items, but they tend to load slowly when we do. Please increase the loading performance of reading lists so that we can create larger lists without impacting usability. We would like to see at least 300 items in a list without negatively impacting performance.

  5. Copyright Clearance Center Annual License Integration

    For institutions paying for the Copyright Clearance Center's annual license, it would be helpful if the process for checking permissions using RightFind could be integrated with Leganto. RightFind provides instructors with the ability to search for resources by title or ISBN/ISSN. The results display whether digital or photocopy sharing is permitted with a link to check pay-per-use. If instructors could see that a resource was already covered through the CCC annual license when adding citations, it would prevent the need to search in a second platform.

  6. Improve customization and branding for Leganto

    Currently, Leganto branding and customization settings do not work well together. In Branding, you can change the color of the header and separator bar, but the button that reveals the hamburger menu does not change color even if you put the correct color code in the field for the Leganto left panel color.

    In Customization, you can change the color of the hamburger menu, but this overrides the color codes in the Branding menu for the header and separator bar. You can put a color code into Leganto color in Customization instead, but that changes the color for everything, including…

  7. Hide resource locate on article citations

    The Resource Locate function appears in Row Actions List in Alma for article citations. Articles do not need to be located, just resolved. The default behavior (when not resource located) is that the URESOLVER applies the date restrictions. Portfolios falling outside of the holdings period for that specific journal are filtered out.

    However, when resource located, the citation is viewed as a journal and shows all portfolios attached to the journal's bib. record. In order to prevent this from happening, we suggest the resource locate option be hidden in Alma for this type of citation.

  8. Find all lists for a faculty when courses are associated to subdepartments

    Would it be possible to change the structure of the Academic Department table so that Faculties and associated sublevel (institutes/department) are matched together in Alma/Leganto.

    When both faculties and institutes are visible in the Leganto search it creates an expectation for the user that by choosing a faculty, they will get to see reading lists for all courses within the faculty regardless of the department. However, as the courses are usually associated to the departments, they will get no results.

    Because of that we have recommended that our institutions upload either faculties or departments, not both, but we think it…

  10. Leganto marketing toolkit

    We love the images to market Leganto, made available by Ex Libris at https://go.proquest.com/Leganto_toolkit?utm_campaign=HQ_CS_Alma_Apr2021&utm_medium=email&_hsmi=136054310&_hsenc=p2ANqtz-9hnBBn-5Ej3AOiCvhlpgG49ATE_mC_yHRvptquh9fkYiNwXdjotGijUYCEfnsOTrV45Fz0j4llGlOwtS-KpqECKgOSIQ&utm_content=135764548&utm_source=hs_email.

    We take note that we can upload our institutional logo to these images but would like to be able to edit/add text also. This will allow us to adapt the Ex Libris message for our own needs and according to our own slogans and messages we wish to convey to our instructors.

  11. Add in Leganto the possibility to get a QR code for a reading list

    As ExLibris / Leganto manager at Universidad de León (Spain), I would like to add in Leganto the possibility to get a QR code for a reading List, similar to the recent Primo VE enhancement. This will allow patrons quickly get a reading list whatever device they use, mainly when using mobile phones.

  12. Display logo and favicon in the Leganto configuration area

    When we upload a header logo and/or a Leganto favicon, it doesn't show in the configuration area. Having it there would improve the experience because it would be easy to see if you had uploaded a logo/icon or not, and which one it was.

    This isn't a huge problem, but it also seems like it could have a simple solution - just display the file and filename in the Alma config.

  13. Show or hide individual General Electronic Services in Leganto

    It is currently possible to control when General Electronic services display in Primo / Primo VE using Display Logic Rules. However, these rules only allow you to make decisions based on data in the record being displayed.

    It would be good to have parameters in the Display Logic Rules that would allow showing or hiding a service based on which display the record is being displayed in (Primo VE vs Leganto).

    In many cases, we want some of the Primo GES's to appear in Leganto, but not all of them. In the current setup, we don't have the granularity to…

  14. Enable selection of multiple RLs when adding a resource

    Some times the same record / resource needs to be added to multiple reading lists. Currently it is possible to be done one at a time, by checking each time just one RL (radio button). It will be much more effective to change it so that more than one could be selected (check box).

  15. Course display - current number of enrolled students

    The "Number of participants" field is meant to be a place where library staff can enter how many students are expected to be in a course. However, that field doesn't update unless staff manually update it. For libraries loading course enrollments, the actual number can change day to day.

    It is possible to find the current number of students in a course if you enable the 'Students' tab for the course display in Alma. However, some libraries may not want to make student enrollment information available to everyone who has an Alma login.

    It would be helpful if the current…

  16. Support file copy options for reference manager integrations

    Leganto does not provide options for uploading files to reading lists via the reference manager integrations (specifically Zotero) and instead shows attached files from Zotero collections as separate citations. It would improve the experience of instructors if the reference manager integrations would allow files to be attached to imported citations, rather than having to reattach those files in the reading list.

  17. Real time integration for course updates between Blackboard and Alma/Leganto

    A real time integration between the VLE system Blackboard and Alma/Leganto would be beneficial to allow course information to be updated instantaneously within Alma/Leganto, without having to wait for the next course load to run.

    Although APIs are available for creating and updating courses, these require local set up and resource. It would be beneficial if standard integrations could be developed for course updates directly between the most commonly used systems e.g. Blackboard, meaning that when a change is made to a course in the VLE this is then automatically reflected in Alma and Leganto.

    This would also be useful…

  18. Ability to configure citation status set when reading list submitted to library

    It would be useful to be able to configure the citation status applied when a reading list is sent to the library for review via the Course Reserves Automatic Status settings.

    Currently submitting the reading list changes a citation status from BeingPrepared to ReadyforProcessing, however being able to set which citation status to change this to would be beneficial, particularly if libraries are using custom additional citation statuses. Citation statuses are a useful way to be able to communicate progress of titles on lists to academic staff

  19. Pop up confirmation message when file is uploaded

    We think it would be useful to have the option to enable a yes/no confirmation popup message after instructors upload a file. The message text could be configurable. Clicking "yes" would complete the upload and clicking "no" would cancel the upload.

    For example, in our case we would like to have a message that says something like:

    Before uploading a file, please check if the library has a copy.

    Before uploading this file, I searched the library and did not find a copy of this resource?

    Yes/No

    Currently we have had instructors upload unlicensed copies of resources to Leganto. When…

  20. Within a citation's Links & Availability, allow the ordering of links

    Currently when a citation has an uploaded file and online links, the uploaded file will by default show on top of the list. If we enable embedded PDFs and other formats this end up pushing the remaining links to the very bottom of the page. We would like to be able to customize the order of links within a citation
