  1. Recommended lists

    in the old interface, in the list search, there are recommended lists. I think it would be interesting if this feature were also available in the new interface.
    In addition, I think it would be interesting for librarians to be able to select reading lists and recommend them to students.

  2. Improve instructor question handling when personal copy option is selected

    We'd like to be able to use the instructor question feature to ask information from faculty if we do not currently have the item in our repository. We've noticed, though, that if the instructor checks the option to provide the library a personal copy, that they would still get the question displayed. Ideally, we'd be able to show a question if both A) we didn't own the item and B) the instructor was not going to provide us a copy.

    We could see this potentially being handled through an additional / tweaked value in "Availability" as done through Configuration >…

  3. Quick exit from Add items menu

    In the classic UI, side-window for adding items is separate to the reading list screen. Side menu can be open and operational simultaneously as the list. It allows users to drag and drop different citations, test links and availability and etc., as they create and work on the reading lists.

    In the new UI, the side-window overlays the main reading list screen and reading list becomes not clickable/editable, unless the side-window for adding items is closed.
    We would like to suggest adding a feature to quickly exit out of the side pop-up menu by clicking on the left-hand side of…

  4. Leganto Analytics storage usage report

    This new feature will provide system administrators with environments without Alma D with a detailed analytics report displaying Leganto current storage space usage, available free space, and total storage capacity for their resources. The dashboard will offer a seamless interface for managing and monitoring storage needs, ensuring that administrators can efficiently monitor storage space and predict growth.

    This tool will enhance resource management by delivering clear insights into storage utilisation, aiding administrators with proactive management of storage, and preventing overcapacity issues with the Leganto platform.

  5. Allow Library-External tags to be configured in 'Instructor Rollover Operations'

    In the new UI, we can configure settings for list duplication/rollover, including citation tags. But currently there are only parameters for Instructor-Library tags, Library-Internal tags and Public tags.

    Library-External tags are not included in this config table and when I asked in a support call I was advised these tags do not copy over and I should raise an Idea to ask for them to be added.

    Please add a parameter for Library-External tags; it is inconsistent to allow us to configure all other tags but have no control over these. Currently our tags that indicate 'Electronic Unavailable' (indicating we…

  6. Digitisation Approved Alert for Instructors

    Feedback from Instructors has been that they would like an alert when a digitisation has been approved/goes live on the list (in our case, from a sync with the DCS). This would both enable instructors to know when the digitisation has gone live, and also enable them to query with the library when they have not received an alert (i.e. that the digitisation hasn't been made, or has been rejected). Alerts would ideally appear as one of the alert option dropdowns in the Leganto interface.

  7. Colour-coded Student/Library/Instructor tags

    Suggestion from our recent Leganto implementation survey:
    There are icons to show the difference between student/library/instructor tags at the point they are added; it would be useful to library staff & Instructors to be able to see at a glance e.g. by colour-coding which tags are which after adding. (In a similar way that library staff can currently see some system-generated tags as a different colour from the user-added ones).

  8. Hide the thumbnail URL in the citation view

    In Leganto if the thumbnail URL is populated the whole URL (which could be long, unwieldy, and of no interest to the user) is displayed.

    Just use it to show the thumbnail, but don't show the URL itself.

  9. Enable the system to give you an alert if you suppress an item on a reading list

    It would be good to know when you are suppressing an item that is on a reading list so you know either not to suppress it or replace it with another copy if one is lost or missing. Similar to when you withdraw or delete an item

  10. Add a simpler method of updating the number of participants on courses (in bulk)

    Although the API and Course loader options exist, the mandatory requirement to have a course ID and Course Name using the full CL template and the unwieldiness of the course loader profile SFTP etc for non technical staff suggests that it would be beneficial to add a simpler method for staff to manually update course participant numbers in bulk (i.e. a simple upload of 2 columns Course ID and Number of participants). Appreciate campus functionality, but for situations where no enrolment loader is possible, but regular updates are possible it would save much manual entry to just be able to…

  11. Allow configuration of list-level "Import" options for creating a list

    Currently (Feb 2023) it is not possible to configure - and specifically to disable - the list-level "Import" option when creating new lists - i.e. whether via MyLists/New List, OR when instructors enter Leganto via LTI from the CMS/LMS/VLE (say BlackBoard) and are prompted to create a list. Currently there is no way to hide this option or control the types supported. This is inconsistent as it is possible to hide the option from the Section menu for example.
