When copying a section from one list to another provide a 'search for' option to find the list you want to move to.
At present it gives a randomly ordered list of all lists on 'My Lists' so hard to find the one you want if as a librarian you manage a lot of lists.

Library Discussion Notes - glowing indicator when accessed from notification 'bell' icon
Some users report it is difficult to find Library Discussion Notes at the reading list level and also at the citation level.
When they log into Leganto, and click on the 'bell' icon for notifications, it would be great if when they click the "New Library Discussion..." within the notifications, the screen would clearly show the new note with a bold red text or a glowing box on the new messages they received.
It would be even better if Library Discussion was positioned before the Related Items and defaults to being open and easily spotted.
Thanks!

Filter / Remove 'notes' from material type filter
Notes are not a type of citations and shouldn't be grouped with books, journals, articles, websites, etc.
They could easily be moved to filter-group that contains due dates and likes.1 vote -
section permalinks in Analytics or API
We currently manually adding permalinks to Insendi, which is a VLE that Imperial staff have created and are selling to other universities. Some Imperial staff want to put specific section permalinks into specific weekly VLE posts. It would be better, if we could give them a list of permalinks from a Analytics or API export.

List filter: Move Notes from 'Types' to 'Subject'
The Filter tab contains four different categories: Section, Tag, Type, Subject.
Notes are sorted in 'Type' even though they are not a type of citation. Ideally they should be sorted in 'Subject'1 vote -
Copyright Clearance Center Annual License Integration
For institutions paying for the Copyright Clearance Center's annual license, it would be helpful if the process for checking permissions using RightFind could be integrated with Leganto. RightFind provides instructors with the ability to search for resources by title or ISBN/ISSN. The results display whether digital or photocopy sharing is permitted with a link to check pay-per-use. If instructors could see that a resource was already covered through the CCC annual license when adding citations, it would prevent the need to search in a second platform.

Related records: Show holdings for chapters only
Showing holdings in Leganto for book chapters* requires that the parameter related_record is set to Yes. An unfortunate consequence is that this also shows holdings for other types of related records, like for example a book and the associated exercise book. Holdings for both books are shown together which is of course misleading and confusing.
We would like to keep the related record parameter on, but make it so that the type of related record included in the displayed holding is more selective.
In Alma, the relation is expressed in MARC field 773 (Host Item Entry). If the second Indicator…

Different student notifications on a course-by-course or instructor-by-instructor basis
When we were setting up student notifications for Leganto, different instructors wanted different notifications sent out to students in their courses (for example, some instructors wanted students to be notified when new citations were added but others did not). However, you can only set which notifications are sent to students at the institution level, so those selections cannot be customized per course and must use the lowest common denominator. We think it would be helpful if instructors can choose on a per-course basis or a per-instructor basis (affecting all of their courses only) which notifications are sent to students.

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.

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.

Enable configuration of more term code options

Allow institutions to use old display of "Add items" menu
Prior to May 2021, the 'Add items' button opened 'Library Search' in the panel, with other options available in small tabs. Since May 2021, the panel shows a menu with several boxes (at Sheffield we only see three boxes).
This changed view means that getting to Library Search takes an extra click and it increases the risk that academic staff will manually enter the details instead of using Library Search. We would like 'Library Search' to be given priority.
We would like institutions to have the option to return to the previous view to encourage staff use of 'Library Search'…

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…

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.1 vote -
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.1 vote -
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…

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…1 vote -
Set default citation statuses in RIS import
When we add an item manually, a resource locate is run and a default citation status is added based on our configuration. But when we import items in a batch (eg via RIS import), these actions don't take place.
This means that items all import as "Being Prepared" instead of being automatically marked as "Complete" (if we have full-text online available) or being flagged for our attention (in other cases). We don't have a workflow to deal with this - due to low staffing we have to rely on automation - so we can't promote this batch import functionality to…
