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.

We will add an indication for open access resources in H1 2026. We are not planning to add an indication for peer reviewed resources, but please share use cases if you have them.

In most subject areas, but particularly in Health courses, students are asked to find peer reviewed material for some assignments. Showing the peer review logo in the reading list would reinforce students' learning that some resources are peer reviewed. Academic staff may select a wide variety of material for their reading lists, including some that are not peer reviewed, which may start a conversation about the assumed value of peer review.

We plan to add the open access indication in 2026. Can you share some additional use cases for the peer reviewed indication?

Hi Jessie
1) so staff can see at a glance what proportion of their reading list is Open Access and therefore free from restrictions (e.g. limits to the number of simultaneous users, costly resources) with a view to ensuring a there's a good amount of unrestricted reading
2) so students can see at a glance what proportion of their reading list is Open Access and therefore free from restrictions (e.g. guaranteed access, plus access after graduation). It is hoped that students will encourage module leads to include more OA material as they become aware of the benefits which could lead to recognition for staff who engage with open material
3) For library staff - easier identification of open content at a glance
