Instructor view mode
It would be useful to be able to view a list from the perspective of an instructor, rather than as library staff or as a student.
For example, we have different levels of tag visibility and would like to test how these appear for instructors.

Let teachers make their own content open access
We have three kinds of content:
* copyrighted material - should never be OA
* teacher-created content that they want to keep to their class only
* teacher-created content that they'd like to share with other teachers and/or use to promote their classTo accommodate this third group, we'd like functionality that would let teachers tag content they've uploaded to be made open access. Functionality should:
make teachers confirm they (or the university as their employer) own the IP
let them choose a Creative Commons license
provide a permalink for the item where it's accessible publically
provide a platform where…

Improve xml for GeneralAssignToLetter
We use GeneralAssignToLetter to assign Reading List to library staff and Leganto Collaborator staff. Although <assigned_object_name> is present in the xml, but "course code" data is missing, hence we are unable to output that to the letter - we can added onto the xslt letter. We believe course code is essential data element on a Reading List DataSheet.

Sorting option available for students
Today it is only possible for owners / collaborators to choose how a reading list should be sorted in Leganto (alphabetically by title or author, or "unsorted"), but not for the one who sees the list after publication (= usually students).
They might prefer another sorting than the one imposed by the list owner, making it easier to find a specific citation.0 votes -
Export to Excel - Remove "Citation" from each column
We want to suggest a slight modification of the export to Excel.
As you can see on the attached screenshot, the title for each column is preceded by Referanse/Citation.
Ex:
Citation Volume | Citation Issue | Citation pages | Citation start page and so on.The document would be easier to read, and thus more user friendly without the extra "citation" text.

Creating section for citation without delete and recreate via API
Currently, it is not possible to create sectioninfo information if citation is already exists. It must be delete the original citation and create new citation with updated sectioninfo.
It is better to allow update of section_info directly without delete and recreate the same citation.

Citation – Bibliographic record overlay enhancement request
Request:
As a Library Staff member, I would like functionality that allows me to enhance the bibliographic information in Leganto citations by identifying, retrieving, and overlaying institutional bibliographic records. I would want this functionality to be added to the Leganto interface to allow me to process a list entirely within this environment.We are aware of the “process and enrich citations job”. However, this job can be disruptive to citations where we are not supplying access via institutional holdings. We also want the ability to resolve bibliographic issues with citation on a case-by-case basis.
Situation:
When a citation has been…1 vote -
Enable Process and Enrich Citations to run as a scheduled job
This job needs to be run on a regular basis to ensure that all citations are linked to repository records, but this must currently be done manually by a member of library staff. It would be very useful if the job could be scheduled to run automatically.

Display Instructor's name along with list title and code in search.
This is a very simply display improvement. Students looking for lists from searchlists often want to find their list by instructor name. Sometimes they will browse by department, or try to find their course amongst other sections and there is no indication of who the list instructor is from the brief list record. Even if they search by that name, they may misspell it and still have to and have to click through to open the course to be assured they have the right list. Adding it with the code at the bottom of the display would be a useful…

Display series information in citation details
It would be useful if book series information (from the title record 440 and/or 490 fields) could be surfaced in citation metadata details. This is important information which should be displayed for the benefit of our users.

Allow to embed the reading list page main content area to another webpage
We wish to have a way to embed the reading list page main content area (as attached) to another webpage. Because our library has a webpage for recommended books, and wants to show the reading list embedded in that webpage.
Thank you

Avoid session timeout for guests users
For the public find list page, in Guest mode, after timeout, it will redirect to the Leganto local login screen which is strange and user does not know what this is. We have raised SF 00647401 and ExLibris agreed to fix in Alma July release that it will redirect to the SAML login screen which looks more familiar to our user.
But actually ultimately what we want is NO session timeout for guest users. As no login in the first place, there is no need of "session timeout".
Thank you

Have a separate citation material type list for manually created citation
The full list contains 55 citation material types. If we disable some of them, then material type may show strange code like "READINGLISTCITATIONSECONDARYTYPES.REFERENCE_ENTRY" (assuming we have disabled the Reference Entry code).
But if we enable all of them, the list is too long for the Faculty to select when they create their own citation. Also Faculty do not have necessary knowledge to classify for each type. We expect it just a list of less than 10 items, say "Printed Books", "Printed Journal", "E-resources", etc.
In fact the citation type can be a very useful information in our workflow such that…

Add citation ID to enrichment job results summary (Preview records / Events Report screen)
After running the process and enrich citations job you can view the 'Job Report' containing a summary of resource locate results (Resource locate match found, multiple match found, etc.)
For each of these result types you can click 'Preview records' to open an Events Report screen, however this is not useful as it does not include the citation ID (the columns provided are course code, section, reading list code and title).
Could the citation ID be added to this screen.

Sort citations in Alma by date of alert generated
Citations in Alma can currently be sorted by date created, date modified, citation title and reading list name.
It would be useful if we could sort them by the date an alert has been generated (e.g. date when a user has marked a broken link). We could then prioritise the alerts more effectively as they are actioned.

Identify and combine related editions in Leganto
Problem: A lack of FRBRisation in bibliographic records in Alma means that in Leganto different formats of the same title can only be offered on individual citations, i.e. the print edition will be one
citation, and the eBook will be on another citation. We want to be able to offer all available formats of a title to our students.Impact: Without the ability to combine citations of the print and electronic version of the same title, they currently appear as if they are two required readings (see attachment 1).
The lack of ability to combine multiple versions of the same…

Manage Digital Representations
When looking at a citation, we would like to be able to see if "Manage Digital Representations" has been ticked by looking at the citation information without having to click through to "Manage Digital Representations" to check. Could a filter be added to filter what hasn't been checked on a reading list or some indication on the citation information section?

Add ability to adjust display order of Library Discussion & bX recommendations
When viewing a citation, the Bx recommendations pop up above library discussion often pushing them down out of view. It would be preferable to enable a swap of the order of discussion and bX so discussion appears first or show both collapsed by default so the discussion option is lost to users.
