Ask the library for a digital copy form
Currently it's configured that or the field "Chapters" or the field "Pages from - Pages to" is mandatory.
We would like to have the fields "Pages from - Pages to" to be mandatory even if the field "Chapters" is filled in by the user.3 votes -
Option to use multiple multilingual logos
In Configuration > Leganto > UI > Branding > Logo Upoad > 'Load Leganto header logo' you can upload the logo that's gonna be displayed in the Leganto header.
But only 1 logo can be uploaded.For institutions with different logos for different languages this is rather unfortunate
Our guess is that having more than 1 logo is not an envisaged use-case (and probably a rare one, too).
Still we would really like the ability to upload multiple logos to fit all UI languages in use.

Quick Notifications to All Faculty
During the pandemic, we've undergone numerous changes to reserve and library policies and it is cumbersome right now to quickly reach out to all list owners. We want to be able to use Leganto to push notifications quickly and easily to all users to alert them to policy changes.

Allow students to access 'Course students' restricted lists via 'My Lists'
If you use the "Course Students" publication status for a reading list, students must always use an LTI link from a VLE to view the list. This means students can't access all their lists from one place ("My Lists") which isn't good for the student experience.
We would like there to be a way for students to only have to access the list via LTI once (if at all), after which they can access it from "My Lists".

Automatically update reading list code in Alma
When a list is 'rolled over', the new 'course' created in Alma has the correct code from the LMS e.g. Canvas. The correct code also appears in the 'reading list' in Leganto. However, in Alma the reading list copies the code from the previous year and adds a (1) to the end.
As an example:
In Alma the course code is: LAWU9CH202223AutumnA
In Leganto the code is LAWU9CH202223AutumnA(2022/23)
but in the Reading List in Alma it says LAWU9CH39_2020(1)(1)It would be much clearer for the reading list in Alma to automatically follow the same…

Make the copyright approval "Number of students" field be a number
Currently in Analytics, if a citation is associated with multiple courses then the "Citation Copyright"."Number of Students" field displays as eg "20;22;0". Ie it lists the number of students in each course, as a text field, rather than giving the total 42 as a number.
This is effectively useless. Our copyright reporting requires the total number. And for statistical purposes I might want to multiply the number of students by the number of pages on a citation, which I can't do with a text field.
Either
a) this field should be a number containing the total by default (this would…

Course Management System support for 2U
One of our schools use the 2U Course Management system (https://2u.com/) but currently there is no integration available with Leganto, so our School of Education is doing their own course reading lists instead of using Leganto. Ideally, we want the school to use Leganto like the other schools do with D2L so that the reading lists are all managed within Alma.

Add broken link reporting option to citation ellipsis menu
Hello there,
A student user navigating through a Leganto list sees the "View Online" button with the citations directly available in the list, without having to click into the full view each citation to access the content.
They just click on the View Online circled in pink (see attached doc), and that opens a new tab in the browser bringing them to the content.
If this link does not work, how can they report as a broken link? They have to conscious that it is necessary to fully open the citation up, and then click on the "Mark as broken"…

Show explanation when file removal is disabled
When instructorremovefile = true, instructors get the option to delete a file as long as that file hasn't gone through the copyright clearance process. If it is in/has gone through copyright clearance, the option disappears - but there's no explanation why, so it's confusing to them.
It would be beneficial to show instructors a brief explanation that file removal has been disabled because it's subject to copyright clearance.

Suggest Replacement feature - Handling citations with specific tags during course dates
If the citation has a specific tag (7 Day, Reserve, etc. as defined by the institution), the course has started and the suggestion was approved:
1. Mark the citation as ready for processing (or status of the choice of the institution)
2. Add a citation task-list alert in Alma that the suggestion was approved
This would allow staff to identify citations that needed action due to the new edition (e.g. copies need to be moved to high demand locations)2 votes -
My Collection > Increase limit
The current limit of items you can have in your Leganto Collection is 1000.
Would be good if we can increase it (or have it configurable) as we have academics wishing to export all their reading list/citations into their Collection from their previous institutions, and sometimes they exceed the limit

Remove the fields "Required Chapters" and "Total Chapters Count" from the Copyright Attributes page when Book Extract is the citation materi
Our Copyright Officer has informed the library to make a change in how we label our representations and to use Book Extract as the citation material type if only a few pages of a chapter are being used. This is a change for the library as we previously used Book Chapter and labelled the representation to indicate that only a part of the chapter has been used - example: Scan of chapter 3 [in part], p. 26-35: Moral constraints and the state.
This is to ensure that the two fields are not accidently used by Library staff.

Usability of Favorites in LTI view - How to access them
Using the LTI view (Blackboard Ultra site) the left menu (Lists and Favorites) is invisible which confines the view to the context of the LMS site the user is in. I can see why we would want to do that. However, it has the effect of making it virtually impossible for educator or student to be able to use their favorites.
Scenario: Educator adds a citation to their list in the LTI view, then decides it is so good they want to add it to their other lists. They copy it to their favorites.... then what! (They could just copy…

Make subjects usable
Currently the only way to assign a subject to a list is in the Leganto interface.
The function to assign subjects should be added to:
1. Alma when working on an individual list
2. Alma - bulk assign a subject from the reading list task list - select reading lists then 'manage selected' then choose from the list of defined subjects
3. Reading List bulk update job
4. Instructor rollover operations - copy to be supported
5. Course loader rollover - On rollover copy subjectThis would enable librarians to help with assigning disciplines/study areas to lists, and not leave…

Add additional text under section headings in templates in new UI
In the classic UI we created a bilingual template that included guidance notes for both instructors and students under each section heading. We would like the option to be able to create this template in the new UI, but we can only create section headings.

Automatic alphabetical sorting within each section
Several instructors at one of our institutions mentioned that they wished reading lists looked a bit more like bibliographies.
We are aware that changing the sorting is available in the list or section menu, but for instructors who are reluctant to use Leganto, this is already a step too much.
We would like a parameter that would, when turned on on institution level, automatically sort the citations by authors within a section.

Quick Analytics for Instructors
ls there any way that the course start date field in the quick view analytics (clicking the bar chart logo from the reading list itself) can be changed. It currently shows them usage since the list began, but there is no way for them to see usage in the past academic year only. they need something quick. Something they can share with students... "look there are 50 of you on this course and only 12 of you have looked at this article for today's lesson!"?
Thanks!

Show 'other editions available' to students
We have a large network of libraries, often with different editions of the same title. Unfortunately on Leganto, there isn't anything that would alert students to other editions of the same work being available to them in another library (often a college library, in our case, or other faculty libraries). This option does appear, after a fashion, in Library view (Full details -> related items -> other versions). It would be very helpful for there to be an alert on a citation in student view which would let a student know that although edition X only has one copy, there…

Allow Leganto to display different general messages by processing or academic department
It would be very useful to have custom message display for a specific department (shows on reading list that owned by department) for example, announcement by department.

“Select all citations” on list level, and not having to first select one citation for the toolbar to appear and then select all
The Select all item option should be placed right next to the search button (as indicated in the picture), and preferably not hidden under an action menu.
Already you can select all citations in sections in the Section menu, so it would only make sense to be able to do the same thing on a list level, for instance when you want to tag all citations in the list in one operation.
The preferred workflow would be one click to select all citations, and then having the toolbar appear, the same way it does when you select one citation.
