  1. Merge reading lists in Leganto

    Being able to easily merge content from different list to one list - without Section text/info and notes. E.g. relevant if you want to get a complete picture of all of the literature being used a one semester/programme

  2. Improving the in-list searching in Leganto

    When searching for a specific citation in Leganto, there are instances where no results are returned. We recently noticed this happening if the search is mis-spelled, shortened or if a special character is used. This happens even if the special character is in the title of the item.
    It appears to be a very specific search, almost working like a Ctrl+F function rather than being flexible. We use the in-list search function a lot, so it would be great if this could be more flexible to allow for these types of instances.

  3. Preferred language set for both Alma and Leganto

    Leganto is a patron-facing system and is translated to several different languages. Alma is a back-office system for librarians and are not translated as such.

    In Leganto you can select the interface language. This changes the preferred language setting on the user-profile in Alma as well. We can see the change in the history-tab on the user-profile.

    The issue is that if the language is set to a language other than english, parts of Alma displays translated values (I assume values that are used in patron facing elements) while other parts are not translated. E.g. a mix of Norwegian and…

  4. Restrict Tags to specific Material Types

    It would be really great if tags could be restricted to specific material types.
    We are using tags that are e.g. only applicable for books and e-books but not websites etc. but still show up for those types, too.

  5. Display the "Resource Sharing Request" in a Network environment

    We belong to a Network. In Leganto we can configure the search and add citations using the Network scope. In this case, when the teacher adds citations from records that belong to another member of the network in Leganto, in the citation availability space, no option is shown. We would like it to show
    the "Resource Sharing Request" just like in the Primo interface.

  6. Ability to upload citations to multiple lists in bulk

    We would like to include a citation on all of our reading lists for the Cite them right database, as it would be useful for students. We would like to add the citation to multiple lists in one action rather than doing it individually but there doesn't seem to be a way of doing this.

  7. Enable embedded videos for assignments and class discussions

    (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.)

    Currently instructors use a third-party tool where they can paste in a YouTube video link and the video is embedded in a page where students can add comments at relevant points. (So comments are associated with a timestamp.) This is like social annotation as students can see each others' comments in order to have a discussion, but the instructor is also able to grade each student's participation and send grades back to the…

  8. Shareable link function in the Leganto file viewer

    In the Leganto PDF viewer there is no option to create a shareable link to the citation.

    Problem: The educator or another student wants to share a link direct to the viewer (e.g. Hi students, add your comments on this file), they can only get the URL from the browser address bar. This URL does not support SAML authentication. They do not understand the implications of doing this, and will not go back to the other tab to get a shareable link - indeed they may have closed the other tab.

  9. Broken link/problem files resolution inside NUI

    I see there is consultation arising from NERS results about the broken link report emails (to library, an alert that a report has been made and to users, a resolution notice).

    It made me think there is an opportunity in the new UI to streamline the link/file fixing process.

    • When a library team member is signed in to Leganto could broken links/problem file reports be indicated in the notifications area to identify affected lists - not just the assigned librarian, but any library team member with course reserves roles?
    • Could an affected citation have a indicator appear to identify which…

  10. Option to associate multiple courses for instructor rollover

    Currently, instructors can only associate more than one course to a list after the list has been initially rolled over. To improve this, please add an option to associate multiple courses before the list is rolled over. This is available in the course loader integration for rollovers, so it should be available for instructor rollovers as well. For example, when the ‘Create a new list’ screen appears in Leganto after the instructor chooses the rollover list option, there should be an option to add more than one course: https://app.screencast.com/ESITnAmHSZ5eL This feature should be configurable to accommodate institutions that may not…

  13. Add purchase request to «Library Services”

    At our institution, the instructors have difficulties figuring out how to make a purchase request. We use Leganto questions to make it easier for them, but this works only for some of the ways you can add items in Leganto. Our users assume that the purchase request is in the same location as the digitization request, i.e. under “Library Services” in the “Item actions” tab and as prominent link when the brief view of a citation is open (see print screen), but without instructions it does not occur to them that they have to set a tag for the purchase…

  14. Multi-site list alerts for print items

    We have 7 physical locations 6 of which have print items. We want to set up Leganto to automatically complete physical inventory when added by an instructor as we do not have a "course reserve" workflow or short loan process. In other words, if an instructor adds print to their reading list we are happy that it can be accessed by the students on the open shelves.

    However, we are aware that instructors could add physical inventory that is located at one site for a course that is being delivered at another. We do not do inter-site lending even between…

  15. Add option for Leganto Detailed Notifications Letter to be "opt in" by default

    Hello,

    We had the Leganto Detailed Notifications Letter switched on, but because there is no option currently for this to be "opt in" by default rather than "opt out" by default, we have had to switch it off again. We are only in our pilot phase so may consider switching the Letter back on later when most of our staff are using Leganto RLs. But for now it's not ideal for all instructors to get notifications when they aren't using Leganto.

    We don't have control over how many instructors are attached to our courses, and because of the way courses…

  16. Allow multiple tags to be added to a Leganto Questions response

    Currently you can only add one tag per response to a Leganto Question. We would like to be able to add multiple tags per response to improve messaging for our users.

    As an example, we use Leganto Questions to ask if a print book is key/essential reading, and add a "Key reading" tag if it is. If a print book is key reading on a list we will also start a process to buy an ebook, and we'd like to add a second tag to reflect this.

    This change would help academic staff to see which items on a list…

  17. Publish_default_mode needs to developed to allow different processes dependent on set criteria

    Situation - Currently we are trying to make the majority of our reading lists open access. However, due to departmental and copyright issues. We cant make all lists open access. Therefore, we currently have Publishdefaultmode set to All Students Full. Which means staff manually run sets on a daily basis to find readings lists that have been published and are not from two specific academic departments and run a bulk reading list job to change them to All Students Full, Anyone Restricted.

    Solution. We would prefer that the Publishdefaultmode is enhanced to publish lists with different…

  18. More control over the description field for rollover lists

    Some of our institutions have used the list description field to write year-specific information. This is an issue when the list is rolled over and the information for the previous semester is still visible.

    We would want to have more control over the description field, especially when it comes to rolled over lists but not only. Therefore we would like the possibility to choose in the rollover setup if the description field should be copied to the new list or not, and in addition the possibility to run a bulk job to delete the content of the description field on…

  19. Improved analytics reporting for new LTI functionality

    Since upgrading to the new v1.3 of the LTI we are encouraging instructors to make use of the new functionality in the VLE such as embedding citation metadata or links to specific parts of reading lists.

    Could the Student Usage area of analytics be developed to be able to report on how many click throughs from, for example, embedded citations or embedded links there are from VLE to Leganto?
