Don't Reassign a Reading List after "saving" a change
Using the "assigned to me" is an effective way to organize internal staff workflows - reading lists assigned to me are the reading lists, i'm responsible for. However, occasionally a co-worker may modify a reading list in someone's absence and after saving the change the reading list gets automatically reassigned to that individual who made a change. This confuses internal staff workflows and who is working on what reading list.
Once a reading list is assigned to a staff member is should remain as such unless it is manually reassigned to another staff member. Saving a change should not impact…
1 voteThis is already supported, by a parameter. Go to Fulfillment Configuration > General > Other settings and look at the parameter rl_auto_assign. You can have it not assign lists at all, only assign when the list is not already assigned, or assign to the user who last worked on it.

ai syllabus
We think it will be great if the AI syllabus assistant not only populates readings when the instructor submits their reading list to the library in Leganto, but it also imports the actual syllabus with the populated readings. Without the syllabus the reserve staff can't check if the list of AI populated readings is complete.
1 voteYou will find the original file in Leganto under List info. See the "List assisted by AI" section for any files used to create the list or citations.

Using syllabus upload w/ current list
For at least a year now, we have been reviewing the textbook list each semester and adding any library resources we own to our Course Reading location if faculty haven't already added it to Leganto. We considered creating Leganto reading lists for those faculty who are currently using Leganto. We would then contact to let them know that we have started on on their behalf and encouraging them to build on it. Now with the introduction of the AI Syllabus Assistant, we are hoping that it could be feasible to update an already created course using the AI Syllabus Assistant.…
1 voteWhen the syllabus assistant is enabled, click on the "add" menu within the list. In the August 2025 release the option is under "Import references". Choose either "Paste references" or "From file". From September 2025 you will see the AI option as "Import course materials" in the Add menu.

Copying Citations Between Reading Lists
When copying citations from one reading list to another, Leganto allows users to copy only to the lists saved in the "My Lists" section. This functionality works well for instructors, but librarians preparing lists on behalf of faculty need to save all the necessary lists in the "My Lists" section beforehand. Librarians should have the ability to copy citations to any available list. Enabling this feature would streamline the setup of reading lists at the beginning of the academic year, when citations need to be copied from one year to the next, especially in institutions where citation management is a…
108 votesThis functionality is now available using the Clipboard. Copy the citations to your clipboard, then go to any list (even those not in "my lists" and open the Clipboard to copy the citations to that list. Be sure to use the "copy" function, which enables you to copy the citation as many times as needed.

Leganto Analytics: Guest users’ usage analysis
We would like to have the possibility to elaborate an analysis in order to have data related to student usage that also includes guest users’ usage (students that are not logged in and view a reading list and relative citations).
Our students use Leganto as guest users most of the time. They don’t need to log in to see citations. Lists must always be visible to all. We need to collect this data to quantify the Leganto Usage correctly.
This analysis will help our institutions make correct decisions when managing workflow and strategic choices.
3 votesLeganto currently tracks usage of guest users. All guests are considered one user because we can't have any way to know how many unique users have accessed the system, but the list usage is tracked (Number of full text views, etc). To see guest usage, look at at the Leganto student usage subject area. There is a field in the Student Usage folder called Student type. You can use this field to see usage performed by guests.

Make CITE IT available through LTI integration
It should be possible to install CITE IT through the LTI integration. At the moment it is only possible to install it via the Leganto page.
3 votesIt is possible to install the Cite it tool when accessing Leganto via an LTI link. It is installed from the user menu in the classic UI and the settings menu in the new UI. See attached.

Support search fields in the Leganto Primo Mapping table
In the Leganto Primo Mapping table, PNX search fields are currently not supported (besides search/creationdate). We have the following use case that requires the support of search fields: we want to display thumbnails in Leganto for citations from our many external data sources in Primo VE. To achieve this, we had to map the url of the thumbnail to a Leganto field. Of course, we do not want to display the url in the Primo UI, and we have no free display field that we could use for this purpose.
In addition, it would be also great if local fields…11 votes -
Increase Leganto file size limit from 50 mb
The file size limit for Leganto uploads is 50 mb. We have faculty interested in uploading slides to Leganto, and running into problems due to file sizes above this threshold.
One possible solution would be for Leganto to store files larger than that.
Another option, though probably pretty technically challenging, would be for institutions to use alternative storage space for Leganto uploads (GSuite, Sharepoint, Onedrive, local servers, etc.).
2 votesWe recommend limiting the file size to 50 MB but you can set it to higher than that.

Add the ability to detach citations from the repository in bulk
E-resource records regularly change and as a library we have to de-activate and suppress electronic records because they have been withdrawn from a platform or they have migrated from one platform to another. We also subscribe to packages where content regularly drops in and out.
If a citation record is associated with inventory that has been withdrawn, we may need to re-link it to an alternative version of the record that is active. The process and enrich citations tool can locate resources in bulk across multiple resource lists, but it only picks up citations that have been detached from the…

Make page range fields obligatory for book chapters and book extracts
The total number of pages on a list is retrieved from the page range fields for book chapters and book extracts, when these fields are filled out. If they are not, the book's total number of pages is used in the calculation.
It is not likely that this field is going to be relevant when choosing these material types so it should not be used in the calculation.
As of today it is possible to look up a book, change it to book chapter, and save it as is, without having changed the page number at all. This causes the…19 votesSupported since October release

Set Copyright status to approved automatically when no file attached to citation.
Automatic copyright clearance based on local rules in Leganto is only possible in the case of citations that have a file attached.
Our wish is that copyright clearance can also be applied when there is no file attached. Our local rule would then be:
"if no file is attached, the copyright status of the citation must be changed to "approved".3 votesSet all citation types to Approved in Citation Default Copyright Status table. Now, all citations will have the default status of Approved when they are added to Leganto. Additionally, configure the File Upload Copyright Options table to have only one option that maps to a different status, such as “Waiting for Approval.”
If the instructor creates a digitization or copyright request (if you enable this in Leganto), or uploads a file, the copyright status will change from Approved to the appropriate status, depending on your configuration.

Section Link from LTI to be able to go directly to section or collapse all other sections. So that you only see the specific section.
Currently when a users uses a section link via the LTI. The reading list open at the top of the page, with all but one section open. However, if the reading list has over 4 sections before the section that is the main section. The user needs to scroll down to that section, this is not user friendly. It would be better, if when a user opens a section via the LTI, it takes the user directly to the section as the permalink does. Or collapses all other sections, so that only the section is showing.

For Question and Answers in Leganto - allow a "cancel but add" option
Some instructors are trying to add multiple items very quickly and would like to be able to search and add items and then go back through and tag them.
In the current Question and Answer workflow, there is either a 'you must provide one response' type message, or there is a cancel option, but the cancel prevents items from being added. It would be useful in some cases to allow as cancel, but add option.0 votesYou can configure that one of the answers is to not select an answer. Choose "Not chosen" as the tag type. Search "Not chosen" in the documentation for more information.

Change the order of sections
It should be possible to change the order of the sections as well, not just the citations. Several of our lecturers have requested this. Today we have to add new sections, then copy the citations and move them to the correct section.

Ability for ProQuest books to pull and analyse Leganto reading list data with customer permission to check for ebook availability
Would be so useful for Proquest books to be able to identify ebook availabity from our Reading Lists. We would then be able to use this data to decide if we wanted to then purchase the 'e' copy. The data supplied to the customer must include the module number that the 'match' was found against.

Display Permalink option with the Section Menu (even for non-instructor/student)
It would be nice to allow the Permalink function to be displayed in the Section Menu even for users who are non-instructor of the course or just students. There is a top level display (reading list) and a low level display (citation), a middle level display (section) on a general level would be helpful.

Allow links from Alma Reading list course information to the Courses part (where role-appropriate) to ease checking/modifying course detail
Although complicated by considerations of space and multiple course associations on a single list, from a unified workflow perspective it would be very helpful in Alma to let library staff navigate back and forth from a Reading list to the related course(s) information. Currently this is rather clunky as if a list is created by an instructor or LTI method, or otherwise lacks details/needs correction, you have to leave the list to go into Courses separately and re-find the thing you have just left, and then go back to the list again.
It would make sense in an unified resource…
