  1. Add the possibility of rearrange the "Library Discussion" list in chronological order, from the newest to the oldest

    Right now the list of actions displayed in the "Library Discussion" list can be viewed in chronological order, from the oldest to the newest. We ask the possibility of rearrange that list also in the inverse order, from the newest to the oldest, because we think it would be more useful to our users.

  2. Get Course Enrolments by User API Rest Call

    It would be really useful to have a REST API GET call that returns course enrolments for an individual student by providing the student ID in the request. This response should return a list of courses that the individual student is enrolled on which would then allow to drill into reading lists etc.

  3. Enable configuration of more term code options

    It would be useful for us to be able to configure more than the current maximum of 99 different term codes. We have nearly 200 different term configurations.

  4. Improve searching for citations in Leganto list view

    Searching for citations in Leganto can sometimes show inaccurate and unexpected results.

    For example, if someone tries to use "" to search for an exact phrase, it won't bring up results because "" isn't supported as a search operator. Or, if a book title has a )/?/-/./( in it, including that character in your search won't bring up the book. There is also no support for partial matching on words, e.g. "manage" won't bring up "management".

    This causes confusion for users if they don't understand why results are being affected and can't find resources. We would like searching to be…

  5. Reading list comments - alerts removed if comments are deleted

    We receive notification when a comment has been made to a reading list, in both Alma in the Recent Changes tab and in the Reading List Notification (bell).
    However, if the comment is subsequently deleted by the student or instructor no notification is given. We have wasted time searching for comments that do not exist. It would be great to know a comment has been deleted.

  6. Add a refresh option (or auto-refresh) to My Collection when adding an item to a list

    Currently if you try to add an item to a reading list using the Add item/My collection option in the right-hand pane, there is no refresh option (unlike in My Collection proper which does have at least a refresh button. If users add items using cite it or push to my Collection from Primo, the list is not updated automatically and so it appears that the My Collection is not correctly updating.
    Adding a refresh would ensure the option shows all added resources as soon as they are available.

  7. Review how the Alma course load/reading list rollover job works

    We run Leganto Rollover through Alma every year. It has been increasingly more difficult as the job takes longer each year.

    Can we please request that rollover process be re-evaluated in general. But specifically in the time it takes to process.

    We need the rollover to run in one day if possible. It seems that if rollover uses a large input file it takes a very long time. It's becoming unmanageable for our users as currently one load job is taking over 48 hours.

    We'd like it to be simplified in general. Obviously we are all different and each site…

  8. Citations' Sticker price

    In a webinar recently, the trainer talked about being able to add a sticker price to a Leganto citation. This would allow the ability to generate a more accurate report on savings for students. However, currently this has to be manually entered for every citation. I know eventually we will be able to use the API to add this data, and even though that's better, it's not a great way to utilize the system. My idea is this:
    1) within Alma, citations have an assigned sticker price;
    2) in Leganto, when Instructors pull from these citations, they get that sticker…

  9. Additional copyright rule parameters

    Currently we can create a copyright rule with a parameter "Publisher" so we could automatically block or approve copyright clearance requests based on the publisher.

    The copyright licensing body in New Zealand provides a list of titles excluded from the licensing scheme. Some of these are defined by publisher, but others are defined by title specifically, by ISBN, or by author. It would be useful for us to create rules based on title, ISBN, or author to block our other copyright rules from automatically clearing copyright in these cases.

  10. Course create dates from CMS Moodle- Leganto Chat

    When an instructor creates a new course from Moodle, the start and end date of the course is the same and it coincides with the course creation date.

    We would like the instructor, when creating a new course from Moodle, to be able to choose the start and end date of the course

  11. implement SSO via Microsoft Azure for Leganto so that our Brightspace users do not have to logon via ezproxy when on an off-campus PC.

    Our Brightspace users have already logged on via our university portal which uses Microsoft Azure SSO. From within Brightspace, they access the Leganto reading list where they click on Primo links to our subscribed resources. We use OCLC-hosted ezproxy to authenticate users when they click a link from the library website but when users have already authenticated into Primo or Brightspace via Azure, there is no need for them to be prompted a second time via ezproxy. This is a major inconvenience for our online-only courses where students all always coming from an off-campus PC but have already authenticated via…

  12. If reading list can be restored, do not purge citations when deleting a course

    If you have configured the setting deletereadinglist to logical, then deleted reading lists can be restored.

    However, if you delete a course that has a reading list attached, and then wish to restore the deleted reading list, the citations on the list have been purged.

    If you have set a deleted reading list to be able to be restored, it does not make sense to purge the citations on the list. We would like citations to also be able to be restored when the deletereadinglist setting is logical.

  13. Editor button integration: show requirement to choose bibliography style

    When selecting a citation using the editor button, the Add button does not work until a bibliography style is selected from the drop-down menu. For the new user, this can be confusing. It needs a visual indicator of some kind, such as prompt text in the box or an error message. Ideally, there would be default as there is for the link text, and it would be "sticky" -- remembering the user's last selection.

  15. Make the template wizard accessible

    Make the template wizard in the new UI accessible at any point during the creation of the list, not just at the initial setup stage. This would mean that if the list creator removed everything from their list to start again, or wanted to have merged templates (ie a week by week and a bibliography) they wouldn't have to create every section individually from that point.

  18. Option to Hide Watch button when a citation YouTube video is not available to play outside of YouTube

    The new UI allows users to watch YouTube videos from the citation level so the user does not have to link out to another window. If the video owner does not allow the video to play outside of YouTube, users will receive an error (refer to attached screenshot). It would be nice if it were possible to have the option to hide the 'Watch' button for instances where the YouTube video will not play outside of YouTube.

  19. Categorize "Related items" in new UI

    In the old interface, when adding a physical edition of a book, you can check "Other formats and editions" in the right-hand side panel.
    Existing editions are separated into "Electronic versions" and "Other editions".

    However, in the new UI, both electronic and physical editions are mixed and presented in one single list. If there are many editions of a book and the instructor is only looking to add an electronic version to a citation, then the many editions make it hard to quickly identify the few electronic versions.

    The list would be more readable if electronic and physical formats were…
