  1. Cite It support for Browns Books

    Please could you add Browns Books (https://www.brownsbfs.co.uk) as a supported website for Cite It? It is one of our main book suppliers in the UK, and it would be helpful to be able to cite books directly from their website.

  2. Request to have two different messages for lists in draft status and lists that have not yet been created

    We have concerns regarding the error message displayed when someone attempts to access a list.
    A single general message may not adequately address all situations.
    We believe that having two distinct messages—one for lists in draft status and another for lists that have not yet been created—would help both students and instructors better understand the next steps they should take. Additionally, requesting a login for students when a list is in draft status could cause unnecessary confusion.
    A login should only be required for instructors who want to fill in the list.
    It is crucial for users and librarians to…

  3. Export all page ranges

    The number of page range fields in Leganto from book chapters and extracts went from 2 to 10.
    However, not all of them are exported to for example Word and PDF.

    This missing information is an issue, both for students who decide to print the list, or non library staff who may use the Word/PDF version as a work document (in-house printing services, campus book shop).

    We would like all the additional page range fields to be exported. The way these are presented in the full display (all in one field) is satisfactory.

  6. Accessibility for Digital Items on Course Reserves

    Currently we are only able to add one file to a single citation. We would like to provide all the alternative electronic formats for scanned articles and book chapters to make sure that our electronic resources are more accessible. We have been testing with the Blackboard Ally program, which produces alternative electronic files of the following types: OCRedPDF, Tagged PDF, Audio, HTML, Electronic Braille, ePub and Beeline Reader. Another option for the future could be Leganto automatically making those file types available once you attach a scanned document. The file transforming tool we are currently using is at https://ally.ac/covid19/ .

    We will support this idea in 2026. Previously we closed it because of copyright implications, but we will support uploading multiple formats/versions of the same resource with the assumption that the copyright record applies to all files.

  7. Automatically set Open Access citations to complete

    I'd like to propose a new functionality enabling citations that are open access to be set to "complete" (semi-)automatically.

    Having to go through all open citations and checking each for possible open access is a cumbersome and time consuming effort we (the library) would like to simplify.

    An "[ ] Open Access" checkbox within the Add Item menu, the citation and for Cite It! would enable instructors to do so themselves with little additional work on their side.

  8. Notify when a title (esp. electronic portfolio) chosen in a Leganto reading list is deleted in Alma

    Especially when dealing with electronic titles, for example when importing them, Alma may delete some portfolios.
    However, researchers may have previously selected these portfolios for their Leganto reading list. But nobody would notice that, until the students find a broken link in Leganto.

    To avoid that right now we perform a manual check, relying on an Analysis looking for Electronic Titles selected for reading lists before running the import, and comparing that with the list of deleted portfolio we have when the import is finished. It's however time consuming.

    It would be much better to get a notification when the…
