  1. Enable subscribed content for class discussion and assignments

    (I'm not sure if this comes under the roadmap item "Support websites for Read and Respond assignments and Social Reading" or if it would be additional work.)

    We have a lot of subscribed content where (depending on publisher T&Cs) we don't have a license to save a PDF in our reading list for class discussion etc.

    It would be useful if Leganto could embed the content in a frame or similar (letting the student login where necessary, either by single sign on or EZproxy or some other method) so that it's not stored on the system but lecturers can still…

  2. More file type options for Reading List bulk export

    At the moment it's possible to bulk export Reading Lists by running the job called 'Reading List Bulk Update' and selecting 'Export to PDF'.

    Would be beneficial if we can export to other types such as .lgn or .ris. As those files would serve better as 'baclups' and can also be imported back into Leganto

  3. Assign citation tasks to others

    Tasks in the reading list tasklist have a "Reassign" option, but this isn't available for tasks in the citation tasklist.

    Some of our tasklists are for specific functionalities, but others might be either a copyright request or a short loan request - these are dealt with by different teams. Our copyright person needs to be able to work through the list and assign a task to herself if it's copyright-related, but also to assign a task to a short-loan person if it's for them. (And vice versa.) This would let her clear her own view of the list so it's…

  4. Add ability to sort/filter citations by date created/modified in Leganto

    In Alma we can sort and filter citations on a reading list by date but it isn't currently possible to do this in Leganto.

    We only check new citations on reading lists when reviewing, and use the Leganto interface to do our checks. This means staff have to sort and filter the list in Alma and then click "View in Leganto" one at a time, which isn’t an efficient use of staff time and can be frustrating on long lists with many new citations.

    We would like the option to view the citations on a list by date last modified…

  6. Reading List Bulk Update job - reset copyright status

    Given that the Reading List Bulk Update job is designed to reset all fields within the reading lists, it is essential to incorporate an option to reset the copyright status as well.

  7. Public annotations toggle - change default to 'off'

    When allowcitationpublic_annotation = true the toggle 'Public Annotations on/off' is displayed (good).
    Unfortunately it's also set to 'on' by default which makes plublic annotations by students possible without the list creator intending this (not good).

    Features like this should be opt-in, not activated by default.
    We are asking for the default setting to be changed to 'off'.

  8. Improve Leganto question and answers with a guidance note field at the bottom

    We make significant use of the Leganto Item Request Question and Answer functionality, but one of the problems encountered is that there is no 'bottom' guidance note label, only a question description field at the top, i.e.

    Currently you can only define:
    -Question,
    -a question description,
    [answer options]

    This means there is no scope for a final note/guidance label which can be used to guide instructors in how to fill out the options and describe the next steps by the library.

    Without this, all and any such consequential information has to be crammed into the 'top' question/Question description customer labels.…

  9. Make Primo's related records indicator available for Leganto

    When setting the "primo availability for citations added from primo" parameter to false, related records are displayed for citations in Leganto.

    In theory this is great - for books and their ebook version as those are more or less the same thing.

    Where it gets problematic are cases where a textbook and its corresponding exercise book are related. Leganto just mixes the inventory without giving any indication that not all holdings are for the actual title (screenshot).

    Primo has a good solution for this - they added a header after the 'real' inventory and listed the related inventory below that.…

  10. Enable default Course Year to be configured in Alma similar to Start and End date default

    In Alma configuration you can set a default course start and end date that is allocated when a new course is created.
    Course Year does not have a configurable default and so must be entered every time.

    It would be really helpful if there was a configurable default Course Year.

  11. Expanding Parent Lists – changes reflected on children lists

    The new functionality of Parent lists (12/22) allowing folks to easily identify, and copy parent lists is appreciated. However, we feel that the functionality needs to be made further functional by allowing updates to the parent list to be reflected on the active copied or children lists. As it currently stands it’s exceedingly time-consuming to manage changes and broken links as it requires staff to make updates in multiple locations.

  12. Bulk job options to remove expired Alma user accounts from courses/reading lists

    We'd like to remove expired Alma accounts from being course instructor/list owner. I picture these as parameters in the Reading List Bulk Update and Course Bulk Update jobs.

    This is similar to an existing idea (https://ideas.exlibrisgroup.com/forums/395697-leganto/suggestions/46475206-improve-handling-of-expired-user-accounts-for-cour) but that one is specifically about flagging expired accounts during rollover, and we do not roll over courses and lists at Surrey.

  13. The ability to suppress the Leganto - Import list functionality.

    Dear colleagues
    University of New South Wales Library is requesting the ability to suppress the ability for an instructor to select the Create list > Import list option in both the classic and new UI environments at certain times of the year.

    UNSW has found that our instructors after using the Import functionality are reporting issues with citation linking. Requiring Library staff to assist by rolling over lists to provide a working link resolving these issues/frustrations.

    We note that other libraries have also discussed this functionality in the community communications. So, we encourage you to consider and support this option.

  14. Hide holdings in bulk

    Instructors have the option to hide physical or electronic holdings from students in a citation when the instructormanagecitationavailablelink parameter is set to true. However there is no way to do this in bulk and it makes it difficult where we have a number of reading lists with multiple citations where there's a physical and electronic holding and we want to hide one of these. It would be very helpful for this to be an option.

    Currently there is no option to export items from favourites directly to RefWorks like you can from other citations. Our users would find this useful as we subscribe to RefWorks.

  19. Make new edition suggestions actionable for instructors from the detailed notification letter

    There is a workflow issue for instructors starting from the detailed leganto notifications letter.

    Scenario:
    1. Librarian suggests a new edition for a citation in Alma
    2. Instructor receives the detailed notification letter with a link to the citation view for the existing citation that now has a suggestion
    3. Instructor looks around and there is nowhere to do anything about the suggestion, although they might spot the new edition tag - it does nothing when they click on it
    4. Instructor has to know that they must click on the section or list links at the top of page…

  20. Find all lists for a faculty when courses are associated to subdepartments

    Would it be possible to change the structure of the Academic Department table so that Faculties and associated sublevel (institutes/department) are matched together in Alma/Leganto.

    When both faculties and institutes are visible in the Leganto search it creates an expectation for the user that by choosing a faculty, they will get to see reading lists for all courses within the faculty regardless of the department. However, as the courses are usually associated to the departments, they will get no results.

    Because of that we have recommended that our institutions upload either faculties or departments, not both, but we think it…
