  1. Improve handling of expired user accounts for course owners during rollovers

    For rollovers we copy the collaborators from the original list and usually this is OK, however we then start getting bounce back emails for Leganto notifications being sent to email addresses that are no longer active.

     

    A couple of options that would be helpful...
    1. Provide option in the integration parameters to prevent an expired collaborator being copied on rollover
    2. Job report to provide a warning that a course owner/collaborator has an expired user account

  2. Enable customization of new edition tag

    Use case: a librarian identifies an open textbook, or other title that would make a good replacement since an ebook of the prescribed text cannot be obtained. This is NOT a new edition of the title, but the functionality can be used to good effect in this scenario.

    There are other scenarios for using the new edition functionality where the system tag "New edition" is not meaningful. We would like to customise it to something like "Alternative Suggested"

    The notifications labels for this are customisable so it makes sense that the tag should be customisable too.

  3. Allow instructors to set a course as deliberately having no reading list

    After the Jan 2023 release, a course can be marked as deliberately having no reading list in Alma (NERS 2022 #7744).

    However there is no way for instructors to set this flag by themselves which would be a logical and convenient way of adding this information which the Library itself would not necessarily know itself from year-to-year or term to term.
    It would also allow the Library to promote the flagging of courses as not requiring a list each year.

    Instead, instructors have to contact the Library to set it on their behalf which creates extra work.

    We would like…

  4. Confirmation screen when adding citation to Leganto from Primo

    When adding a catalog citation to Leganto from the Primo interface (via the "Send To..." menu) there is a small popup (screenshot attached) that asks the user to choose a list, section, etc. and then click the green "Add to Leganto" button, which is great. Once this button is clicked, the page reloads and the user receives no confirmation, other than to open a new tab, navigate to the relevant list, and verify that the citation appeared in the right place. Instead, once the user clicks "Add to Leganto," would it be possible to have a similarly sized pop up…

  5. Option to configure automatic Digitisation Requests with "Chapter" citations

    It is possible to configure Leganto so that when a new "Book" citation is added, a new Purchase Request is raised in Alma.

    However, with newly added "Chapter" citations, either the Leganto Instructor or Operator then has to raise a digitisation request manually from the list, for each one of these citation types.

    It would help to have the option to configure Leganto so that each newly added "Chapter" citation could automatically generate a Digitisation Request, with the metadata from the generated Citation (including the page range or Chapter title) included in the request.

    This would mirror what currently is…

  6. A designated field for E-locators in citations

    We would like a separate field for e-locators in Leganto citations.

    The publisher's use of this identifier is increasingly common, and included in several reference styles, such as APA. Today, the e-locator appears in the page number field, which can be confusing. The field should also be included in the export to RIS and to reference managers like Endnote.

    A designated e-locator field would also be useful for Primo displays.

  7. Customise DCS tags

    The DCS is the UK's digital content store.
    Currently the wording on DCS tags in Leganto is hardcoded. We would like the wording on these tags to be customisable.

    Use case - when a digitisation request is placed in Leganto a 'Digitisation in Progress' tag is displayed in Leganto. This can be misleading to instructors as the digitised request may not be covered by the CLA licence and the wording implies the library is working on the digitisation. A much better wording on this tag is 'Digitisation Requested'.

  8. Task Widget Filtered by Processing Department

    UNSW is a library with multiple processing departments and during peak Leganto processing times clicking through the Task Widget - Reading Lists/Citations to identify the workload for each dept creates an additional step in the process.

    We do have the ability to filter the Reading Lists etc. by Processing Department once we have clicked on the option in the list, for e.g. Unassigned - Ready for Processing, however it would be helpful if those filters could be applied to the main menu Task Widget - Reading Lists/Citations, visible on the ALMA home page, so that only the options requiring our…

  9. Able to configure which citation statuses should be considered as equivalent to Complete

    In Leganto it is possible to create custom citation statuses.

    One such custom status we have created is 'Complete - no eBook available' which we use to signify to academic staff that a citation has been processed by the library but that it has not been possible to purchase an item electronically. For all intents and purpose this status is equivalent to Complete, but provides additional information.

    It would be preferable if we were able to configure Leganto to define which statuses should be considered as Complete. This would be useful, for example, when filtering citations in Alma, where there…

  10. Highlight Open Access and peer reviewed material on reading lists with the Primo logos

    Students and staff can see the Open Access logo and the peer view logo in Primo but they can't see the logos on the same resource once it's been added to Leganto. Please enable libraries to choose whether these logos can be pulled into Leganto with the resource details. The ​University of Sheffield is doing some work around open resources and promoting OER and it would be good to be able to highlight open resources on the reading list for students and staff. I hope the picture helps.

  12. Search/filtering of list selection dialog in Primo "Send to Leganto" action

    When adding a citation from Primo using the Leganto action object, users are presented with a drop down list of all reading lists they are an owner or collaborator on. This list is sorted from oldest to newest and it's difficult to find the proper list if many are displayed.

    Our faculty liaisons and course reserves staff frequently use this tool and may be collaborators on scores or even hundreds of lists that may have similar names. Faculty too, may have multiple lists of the same name if they teach the same course from term to term.

  13. Leganto Questions: add an option to configure optional note fields

    When adding answers to a Leganto question, it is possible to include a free text field in which additional information can be added. If such a free text field is configured, it becomes automatically mandatory. We have use cases in which we would need an optional note field, so that the instructor can decide if it is necessary to provide more information. Therefore, we would appreciate if a configuration option would be added in the Item Request Answer table which would allow the library to set the free text field optional or mandatory.

  14. Better layout for ‘Ask your library to create your list’ on the quick start screen

    Libraries can display the “Ask your library to create your list” option on the quick start screen. We think it would be great if this option would be displayed in the same layout as the options “Create new list” and “Select existing list” in a box with title, image, description, and button.

  15. Display more course details when pushing to Leganto from Primo

    Instructors often teach the same subjects which are rolled over each new semester. This results in a long list of indistinguishable lists in the Push to Leganto feature since it only displays the list name.

    Please provide configuration options for displaying course details alongside the list name, including course code, term and year. Institutions should be able to decide which of these course details to display in the Push to Leganto feature.

    See attached for an example of how it might look.

  16. Allow HTML in the new UI label 'copyright_clearance_header' (digitisation request form)

    The digitisation request form (CLA) has a description field underneath the main header, called 'copyright _ clearance _ header' in the new UI labels. It would be helpful if HTML could be entered in this field to direct users to more information about digitisation services.

  17. Information displayed in Recent Changes of Reading List

    When I delete a citaiton from the reading list, I can see the information about the deleted citaiton from the "Recent Changes" tab of the Reading List in Alma, but I can't see any information other than Title.
    It would be nice to have more detailed citation information (such as ISBN, ISSN and MMS ID) to identify what citations have been removed.

  18. Add Springshare LibChat chat widget to Leganto new UI

    A large number of Leganto libraries are also Springshare chat users. It would be very helpful to be able to integrate the LibChat widget on the new Leganto UI. In Primo VE this is done by via the customisation package, but it would be helpful if it was enabled as a config option within Alma to enable customers to input their Springshare chat widget ID within a hard coded optional interface feature.

  19. Enable a forced SSO login for users accessing openly published reading lists Leganto via a CMS.

    We publish all of our reading lists to "Anyone Full" which means that anyone with a link can access the list; we have partners or prospective students who may need to view the lists. Access to subscribed resources is restricted to registered users and anyone without a university login cannot access the links to resources, they can only view the citations.

    Currently when students login to a reading list through Moodle, they automatically enter the list as a Guest and there is no prompt to login (unless you add a message to the list) which means that users may miss…

  20. Process and enrich citations job - additional field required

    We have run the Process and Enrich citations job very occasionally to pick up URLs which may have changed but the resulting file always needs a huge amount of work because it includes loads of historical data. It would be much more useful if it included the field "Publication list visibility", so that we could filter to discover just those citations which are currently visible to our students.

    We would like to run this job on a regular basis in order to proactively fix issues, even before students or instructors spot them. We think that instructors will be more likely…
