Leganto +ReadingList widget
In adding the +ReadingList widget to the bookmark manager of a browser, you need a two-step process. First click the widget from one's Leganto settings menu and click again on the widget button from the pop-up window. This is more of a user experience issue, many if unfamiliar will choose to drag the widget after clicking on the menu settings and will drag the URL instead of clicking another time to wait for the pop-out window to drag the right widget with the javascript (see below).

Add a new parent field to group academic/processing departments
Please find attached high level design about the ability to create academic units which may group several academic and/or processing departments.

Move away from Reading Lists and toward embeddable documents!
Canvas allows for professors to include content altogether on a weekly/unit basis (called Modules). Reading Lists doesn't respect that format and complicates instruction. We should be able to embed library resources directly into Canvas through an iframe/LTI into whichever Module we like.

Move citations in bulk from a list to My Collection rather than only one by one
Moving citations one by one through the options menu is painful. Users should be able to move all citations in a list, or selected subsets of citations in a list to My Collection. The ability to select and copy all or select some and copy is a very common usability feature for list management.
This would really make My collection the easiest way to search and find previously used materials across course lists.

Option to change the default tab on the Reading Lists Tasks List page in Alma
We'd like either a global option to set the default tab to All or an option for each user to select their own preference. This would improve the workflow for staff because they often collaborate on Reading Lists and searching from the All tab is preferable to searching from the other tabs.

Number of participants per campus more visible in Alma
Please have a look at the attached document for full description with pictures.
Hi,
Here are a few suggestions regarding the number of participants as shown in Alma:
1. When controlling a list where several campuses are involved, only the campuses are indicated, not the number of students per campus.
We would like this information to be visible here. It would make it easier to decide if more copies should be bought, or if the library of another campus should have a look at the list.
2. When associating a list to a course in Leganto, the information about the…2 votes -
Move "+" sign
The "+" sign should be moved down to each section, and the default section should then be the section the click comes from. That is more intuitive. I am pretty sure 9 of 10 users starts looking in the sections for a way to add literature.

"send list"
The "Send list" button should be renamed "SAVE". It is far from obvious that this must be pressed in order to finalize the list (which I assume this button does?)

Short cuts
Both keyboard shortcuts (hot keys) to reduce mouse use, and ability to add often used pages/functions in a "favorites" linkbar for easy access. Reducing the amount of mouse clicks needed.

Add events (citation modifications, etc) by library staff to Leganto Instructor Usage Events subject area in Analytics
Currently the Leganto Instructor Usage Events subject area only identifies events created by list collaborators. At our institution, library staff are also responsible for making modifications to lists and citations (for example, adding tags), however these actions are not displayed as 'events' on analyses created in this subject area.
As previously discussed with Ex Libris (see SF 00523008), it would be useful for our workflows if both instructor and library staff events could display in this subject area (perhaps under separate descriptors).

Leganto Instructor Rollover - Relocate "Roll Over List" to appear next to "SEND LIST" button
As Library staff, I would like the Roll Over List button to be placed at a more obvious spot in Leganto, so instructors can easily find the button and Rollover their Lists with fewer clicks.
UNSW Library will enable the Leganto Course Instructor Rollover in November 2018. We want instructors to use this feature, and not be confused with the Duplicate List option.
Current Behavior:
1. Instructor opens a Reading List in Leganto
2. clicks on Reading list options menu option
3. selects "Roll Over List", which is beneath "Duplicate List"
Concerns:
a. They need to know where the button…13 votesWe're closing this idea because it is no longer relevant in the new user experience.

Number of participants as a possible field in reading list overview
In the reading list overview in Alma it is possible to choose the kind of information shown in the table, like code, assignee, status and so on. It would be nice having the numbers of participants as an option as well.

Remove citations' redundant punctuations
We noticed that there are redundant punctuations displayed in the citations added from Alma, could these redundant punctuations not show when adding the citations into the reading list?
I do know that Leganto uses "," to separate different fields like author, edition and publisher. It would be clearer and easier for students to read the details of the citations without these redundant punctuations.
We notice that what appears in the MARC record would be directly copied to the citation, please could an enhancement be made to check if the existing field has punctuation at the end and remove it from…

Autofill CCC special order forms
When a reading cannot have copyright clearance immediately granted in Leganto, staff are notified to place a special order. Sometimes Leganto provides a direct link to a blank CCC form, but sometimes it doesn’t. In either case, the staff must enter all form information manually, even though that data has already been entered in Leganto.
Leganto should connect directly to the CCC form in all cases where a special order is needed, and autofill the form with all relevant data that has already been entered in Leganto. E.g., ISBN/ISSN, year, volume, pages, number of students, article or chapter title, etc.

Adding metadata to articles via the search interface in ALMA
When using the Link Resolver on an uploaded article it needs comprehensive amounts of metadata attached in order to locate the resource.
If an article is uploaded without metadata the librarian needs to search Primo and manually add the needed metadata to the item.
In order to optimize the workflow we would like to be able to use Locate Resource in Alma to find the metadata and automagically add it to the item. As we are using Primo VE this should be possible.

Allow more than one digitization department for Leganto requesting
If you want to allow faculty to place digitization requests in Leganto, you can only specify a single department to manage these requests. This could either be at the institution level or inside an individual library. However, this is a problem if your institution has multiple campuses/libraries that may each want to manage their own digitization request workflows.
This enhancement would allow general systems administrators to specify multiple digitization departments in place of the current “managing_department” setting in configurations under Fulfillment --> Copyright Management --> Leganto Copyright Settings.

Add a job to (dis)associate reading lists with course(s)
By default un-associated reading lists are attached to the Exlibris default course, and currently any reading lists imported by Exlibris - ie from Equella, require that the courses already exist, in order to associate properly.
However, what happens if you want to change the association of a reading list to a course or courses? There is currently no API mechanism to do this, and the reading list import by Exlibris can't be run in 'resynch' mode where the courses may have been created after the reading list import.
What we're suggesting is that a job can be run using a…

Free text space above File Upload Copyright options in Leganto
Currently, in the front end of Leganto, there is no free text space above the File Copyright Upload options. Please see attached screenshot.
It would be good user experience if there is the option to add some free text there otherwise it's just a series of options without an explanation of what they are.

Allow instructors to add Library Search result to other reading lists or My Collection
User Story: As an instructor, I would like to have the option to add a citation to My Collection or other reading lists from the Search Library results in current reading list or My Collection (similar to adding an item from cite it), so that I don’t have to go in and out of My Collection/reading list to add a citation
24 votesThe 2023 Leganto new user experience includes the option to add an item from the library search to my collection/favorites. It does not include the option to add the item to another list from the library search. Instead, items on the list can be added to other lists, an option which wasn’t available when this idea was originally created. We are closing this idea, but please create a new and updated idea if something is still needed.

Display resource availability for electronic portfolios directly without having to click "View more notes" link
Availability of Citation electronice resource (e.g. "Available from year|volume|issue...") is not displayed directly on Leganto Citation Details page. User has to click "View more notes" link to un-hide availability. This is inconsistent with the behavior in Primo (Primo displays availablility directly), and take extra clicks for users to find out the information. Please display resource availability directly without having to click "View more notes" link to find it out. Thanks.
