Allow for the ability to configure whether the "Import references" option appears at "Add" option in a Reading List.
We do not wish to expose the "import references" option when the "Add" option is chosen in a Reading List - this should be configurable as to whether a customer exposes this feature or not. We created a case (08053103) re same to which Support responded stating that "Currently, there is no option to hide the Import References from the Add menu".

Allow bulk ReadingList creation with the AI Syllabus Assistant
It's exciting to learn about the newly launched AI Syllabus Assistant, which can automatically generate reading lists and show items' statuses. Since there's a need for Library to generate many reading lists at once, is it possible to use this AI feature to bulk-create reading lists for multiple courses by uploading a folder containing course synopsis documents? Or API could be offered to connect data from external sources?

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…34 votesAvailable in March 2026 release

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.

New analytics criteria: count of number of sections

Rename citation file after upload
Currently the only way to change a citation file name is by downloading, renaming, and then reuploading renamed file, after deleting previous version. It would save a lot of time to be able to edit the file name directly in Alma, without having to download and reupload when using a specific name file convention.
The team that scans and uploads files is different to the reading list processing team and the file needs to be named correctly at a later stage after it's been uploaded. We also receive resource sharing files from partner libraries where we can't control how the…

Export Leganto reading lists as PDF: add tags to the PDF for better accessibility
An accessible PDF must include document structure tags, which describe the logical and semantic structure of a document. This is important for screen readers and other assertive technologies to interpret and reproduce the content correctly.
Unfortunately, when a Leganto reading list is exported as PDF, the PDF does not include document structure tags. We hope that tags can be added and thus Leganto reading lists become accessible as PDFs too.14 votesAvailable in August release

Allow Library-External tags to be configured in 'Instructor Rollover Operations'
In the new UI, we can configure settings for list duplication/rollover, including citation tags. But currently there are only parameters for Instructor-Library tags, Library-Internal tags and Public tags.
Library-External tags are not included in this config table and when I asked in a support call I was advised these tags do not copy over and I should raise an Idea to ask for them to be added.
Please add a parameter for Library-External tags; it is inconsistent to allow us to configure all other tags but have no control over these. Currently our tags that indicate 'Electronic Unavailable' (indicating we…

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.
42 votesOpen access indicators were added in May 2026. We are not planning to add peer review indicators, so please open a new idea if you would still like to have Peer review indications on the list.

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…

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'.

Show 'other editions available' to students
We have a large network of libraries, often with different editions of the same title. Unfortunately on Leganto, there isn't anything that would alert students to other editions of the same work being available to them in another library (often a college library, in our case, or other faculty libraries). This option does appear, after a fashion, in Library view (Full details -> related items -> other versions). It would be very helpful for there to be an alert on a citation in student view which would let a student know that although edition X only has one copy, there…

Have notification for "New comment was added to library discussion for item" link to the item in question
In the Leganto notification system, the notification for "A new item was added to a list" provides links to both the relevant reading list and item, but the notification for "New comment was added to library discussion for item" only points to the list, not to the specific item that was commented on. Our instructors would appreciate being able to navigate directly to the relevant item/citation.

Display tags and student notes in same screen as item availability when viewing full citation details
If you navigate to a reading list citation via Alma using ‘View in Leganto’, this opens the citation in the full screen, and you cannot see tags or notes unless you click ‘Item Actions’. If you open the citation by clicking ‘full details’ when scrolling through Leganto in list view, the same is true that you need to click ‘Item Actions’ to see this information, but the citation does not open in full screen and the list view is still present on the left with some tagging/context visible, which mitigates it somewhat but is still not great.

NUI Include publication year with citation information
Including the publication year in the citation information on the landing page would enable librarians and students to identify the latest edition.
The publication year is currently visible in the expanded view, when you click on the citation.

New UI - allow institutions to hide "Hide from students/student note/due date" from *all* citation views
In the June 2024 release we were given the option to hide the "Hide from students/student note/due date" (in any combination) from the quick edit view of a citation. But, regardless of the setting you choose, all the options are still visible in the full details/citation URL view of a citation.
We would like to hide the "Hide from students" option everywhere to stop instructors from hiding citations. We find that instructors forget to unhide items, or don't unhide them in enough time for students to access items (especially disabled students who need time to request alternative formats).

Add parameter "no list expected" to make sets and global changes to courses via "Course bulk update" job
A few monts ago, Alma added the option "no list expected" to the courses. This parameter can only be searched through Analytics, but we want to:
-make it available in Alma to refine searches when making sets.
-be an option to make global changes to courses in the "course bulk update" jobExample: I want to make a set with all courses that belong to an academic department and the parameter "no list expected" is unchecked.
Then, I want to make global changes to mark "no list expected" in all courses of this set.55 votesAvailable in January release.
