Allow Find lists to enable course-level discovery (and departmental browsing) of lists
The current Find lists (February 2018) page is focused on individual List discovery. It does not support overall course-level discovery very well at all (especially for courses with multiple lists).
A 'structured search' can be done, choosing an academic department but no search term (really this is "browsing"). It returns individual lists of reading lists rather than a list of courses for which contain relevant lists.
Course level discovery would meet student expectations of how they see their courses/modules from the course or programme level, and allow student to see other module reading much more simply by seeing all courses with reading lists.
The search itself could even be tightened to be a configurable option (list level metadata or course level metadata discovery).
It would also be a real improvement to allow students to search for courses by Academic department, code, or lecturer, and then see a 'course' container showing all of the lists associated with that course.

I would suggest that this idea contains some of the same content/use case access as a newer submission:
https://ideas.exlibrisgroup.com/forums/395697-leganto/suggestions/17209124-being-able-as-an-instructor-to-see-all-reading-lis- that idea is aimed at giving Instructors/collaborator '360' view of lists for courses, - and in some respects is aided by the Leganto Course Operator role, but the need for course level discovery is not really met fully yet.
