Chapter number and author to display more prominently
We would like the citation chapter number and author to be displayed alongside the chapter title (slightly larger, bold font).
Currently these fields display on the second line alongside the book title and publisher information, which lacks clarity (see attachment).

Would it be possible to copy multiple sections from one list to another?

Option to hide panels
Would it be possible for the top and left panels to be visible as default, with the option for the user to hide them using the tabs (rather than making them hidden as default)?

Drag citations from list into My Collection
Could functionality be added so that citations which appear in lists can be copied to My Collection by drag and drop (rather than via options > copy to collection).
This seems logical, as you can do the reverse action to copy a citation from My Collection to a list via drag and drop.

Allow tags to be added in Cite It
Would it be possible to assign tags to citations directly from the Cite It window, rather than having to locate them in Leganto and tag afterwards?

Instructor / list owner to receive notification when list and/or all list citations marked complete
It would be useful for the instructor to know when all citations have been dealt with by library staff so that they can then choose to publish their list (rather than making the list available to students despite some items not being obtainable).

Define locally how much of a citation is shown i a reading list
If a public note is registered on a citation, it will be shown on one line only in the list itself, hiding parts of the text if the note is too long.
We would like institutions to be able to locally define how many lines are to be shown for each citation in the reading list itself.2 votes -
Reading List Status Changes based on Citations Statuses and Assignees
It would be great if the manual process of Changing a Reading List Status could be automated by Alma dependant on factors like Assignee being set to someone, rather than being for the Reading List. This could trigger the List Status to change from Waiting for Processing to Being Processed.
Another Reading List Status automation we would suggest is that when every Citation in a Reading List is marked Citation Status Complete, this could trigger the Reading List Status to be updated Complete.
Both of these Reading List Status changes are things that need to be performed manually at present…

Autocomplete Non-CiteIt Citations based on Material Type or other configured rules
It would be very useful to be able to have configuration in Alma that would allow citations with a specific list of defined Material Types to be set to citation status: Complete and Copyright Status: Not Required or Approved automatically when they first are created on the Reading List. This would save staff working on Reading lists where there are numerous citations which need no copyright approval or should be auto Approved and need no user intervention, to be automatically marked complete if they matched a configurable list of material types exiting in Alma already.
At the moment it takes…

Extra scope in Leganto with all the citations already processed by the library
We would like another scope to be added in Leganto: The completed Leganto citations already approved by the library. Effectively, the content in Alma>Fulfillment>Course Reserves>Citations.
In most cases a citation will rarely be perfect when you import it to a reading list. You usually have to customize the citation in some way. To be able to reuse the already processed and completed citation will save a lot of work for both instructors and/or librarians. This is especially true for book chapters, as not many are catalogued in Alma as such.
Completed citations could be easily searchable by instructors in Leganto.

Better options/formatting when exporting a list to PDF
Exporting to PDF is a useful function but not very useable as it is:
A list of 11 citations will turn into a 5 page-pdf, with 2 citation per page most of the time (probably due to too much space in between citations).
This is clearly not good if one exported the list in order to print it, so this should be reviewed and adjusted.We also hope it will eventually be possible to choose a reference style when exporting to PDF (as with Word), once issues in that regard are fixed and the exported lists are judged satisfactory according…

Allow instructors to see List and Item Discussions more clearly
Although there are concerns around anonymity of list and item level discussions, instructors are interested in being able to easily get a course-level overview of the discussions on their lists, and items on their lists. Currently the Notifications can help to get instructors to individual comments, but these have no course context, having list filtering and no course details. Being able to see whole discussions from notifications and seeing the courses with which they are associated would help greatly here.
For example, if a lecturer is seeking feedback on assigned readings on a list, it would be useful to be…

Improvment for the alert filter in Alma
In Fulfillment > Citation
This filter is automatically set to "Alert:All" so we would expected the citations shown under to be all citations with alert, but this in not the case (only shows all citations).
The way we see it, the filter should be blank by default and "All" should be a possible choice, allowing to show all the citations with an alert.1 vote -
Always show the "Add" option in the Leganto 'Search Library (Primo API search) search results
Currently when using the search library feature (calling search scopes from a Primo view) to add items to a reading list, the search results appear but users need to click on the result before an "add" option appears.
This is a completely redundant click: it reduces the efficiency of adding resources this way by increasing the time and effort required to add every single item.
It is a strange design choice to hide the most obvious (and currently the only unless 'Add + Edit' is added) option and quite annoying in the User interface, having a negative impact on the…
