Reading list ‘bulk export’ in Leganto
Currently the only way to export reading lists in Leganto is exporting them one at a time. I would like to suggest an option for a bulk export of reading lists, where one can export more than one list in a single operation.
A possible workflow could be adding an ‘Export’-option in the “Find lists”-menu, and using a prompt for selecting lists to export. It could additionally be available in the “My lists”-menu.
Ideally the export options should be the same as when exporting a single list or section, with choices like File Type, Bibliographic Styles and Sorting.
There are several possible use cases where this would be helpful. Such as faculty administrative staff wanting to export several lists from a department.

We are reviewing this idea but we need more information. Please share some scenarios in which a user would export reading lists in bulk. Please include which users and in which situations. Thank you.

Is this a function specific to the front-end, or intended for Students/Instructors/Library staff? Was wondering whether the Reading List Bulk Update Job in Alma with the Export to PDF could also serve as a basis to bulk export, although makes more sense front end with multiple selections from Find lists/My Lists etc
