  1. In Analytics (Leganto Student Usage subject area), possibility to query Statistical Category X fields under Student Details

    (initially filled by the « Statistical Category X » fields from the Users subject area).

    Right now, to get data about the usage of a reading list by students, we need to query the fields which are only available under the dimension « Student details » of the « Leganto student usage » subject area. Those fields are filled only after signing the Ex-Libris form « Leganto student success measurements service ».
    It would be interesting that the statistical category fields only could be filled in order to extract statistical analyses without having to know the students identity. Therefore it…

  2. Make subjects usable

    Currently the only way to assign a subject to a list is in the Leganto interface.

    The function to assign subjects should be added to:
    1. Alma when working on an individual list
    2. Alma - bulk assign a subject from the reading list task list - select reading lists then 'manage selected' then choose from the list of defined subjects
    3. Reading List bulk update job
    4. Instructor rollover operations - copy to be supported
    5. Course loader rollover - On rollover copy subject

    This would enable librarians to help with assigning disciplines/study areas to lists, and not leave…

  3. 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…

  4. Zotero/Mendeley import: display position in list

    In the results list of “Search the library”, the current position in the list is indicated, e.g. “Showing 20 out of 311,444 results”. In the results list of “Import references from Mendeley” and “Import references from Zotero, however, this information is not displayed. We would appreciate if the position would be indicated in these lists, too. Relevant Support Case: 07013368

  5. Add additional text under section headings in templates in new UI

    In the classic UI we created a bilingual template that included guidance notes for both instructors and students under each section heading. We would like the option to be able to create this template in the new UI, but we can only create section headings.

  8. Broken link/problem files resolution inside NUI

    I see there is consultation arising from NERS results about the broken link report emails (to library, an alert that a report has been made and to users, a resolution notice).

    It made me think there is an opportunity in the new UI to streamline the link/file fixing process.

    • When a library team member is signed in to Leganto could broken links/problem file reports be indicated in the notifications area to identify affected lists - not just the assigned librarian, but any library team member with course reserves roles?
    • Could an affected citation have a indicator appear to identify which…

  9. File Upload box on Quick Start - New UI

    Our instructors access from the LMS, and upon Quick Start, we only allow the options to Create from scratch or Upload a file (not to rollover). A large proportion of our instructors avail themselves of the Upload a file option.

    We think the Upload a file or "Ask your library to create your list" option is greatly minimized in the New UI as compared to Classic UI, and that it would be nice for this option to have a box with an icon and button the same way the the "Create" and "Create from Existing" options currently do. We think…

  10. Improve handling of expired user accounts for course owners during rollovers

    For rollovers we copy the collaborators from the original list and usually this is OK, however we then start getting bounce back emails for Leganto notifications being sent to email addresses that are no longer active.

     

    A couple of options that would be helpful...
    1. Provide option in the integration parameters to prevent an expired collaborator being copied on rollover
    2. Job report to provide a warning that a course owner/collaborator has an expired user account

  11. Confirmation screen when adding citation to Leganto from Primo

    When adding a catalog citation to Leganto from the Primo interface (via the "Send To..." menu) there is a small popup (screenshot attached) that asks the user to choose a list, section, etc. and then click the green "Add to Leganto" button, which is great. Once this button is clicked, the page reloads and the user receives no confirmation, other than to open a new tab, navigate to the relevant list, and verify that the citation appeared in the right place. Instead, once the user clicks "Add to Leganto," would it be possible to have a similarly sized pop up…

  12. Upload one file per page range allowed

    Some material types like book chapter or book extracts, allow to have two page ranges.
    However, it is only possible to upload one file.

    The page range data from the citation is used in our copyright platform integration, and PDF files are created based on this data, that is, one per page range. Having to merge the files before uploading them is unnecessary extra work so we would like to be able to upload several files per citation (1 per page range).

  13. Shareable link function in the Leganto file viewer

    In the Leganto PDF viewer there is no option to create a shareable link to the citation.

    Problem: The educator or another student wants to share a link direct to the viewer (e.g. Hi students, add your comments on this file), they can only get the URL from the browser address bar. This URL does not support SAML authentication. They do not understand the implications of doing this, and will not go back to the other tab to get a shareable link - indeed they may have closed the other tab.

    1. User may end up at the Leganto authentication page…

  14. Option to link Leganto citation metadata to Alma/Primo bibliographic data

    Bibliographic metadata for books is often improved in Alma/Primo after a citation has been created in Leganto. We would like the option to link the citation metadata from Alma/Primo so that when Alma/Primo metadata is updated, the Leganto citation metadata would be updated also.

  15. Rollover - Allow Excel files to be directly uploaded to course loader integrated profile

    Currently we have to create a spreadsheet for a course rollover, then re-format it into text tab delimited file and then add it to a FTP server before it can be run in the course loader integrated process. This is a long winded process where errors can creep in.

    It would be an improvement if you could upload the file directly in the Course loader integrated profile as a file upload. It would also be better if this upload could be an Excel spreadsheet rather than a text tab delimited file

  16. Remove the fields "Required Chapters" and "Total Chapters Count" from the Copyright Attributes page when Book Extract is the citation materi

    Our Copyright Officer has informed the library to make a change in how we label our representations and to use Book Extract as the citation material type if only a few pages of a chapter are being used. This is a change for the library as we previously used Book Chapter and labelled the representation to indicate that only a part of the chapter has been used - example: Scan of chapter 3 [in part], p. 26-35: Moral constraints and the state.

    This is to ensure that the two fields are not accidently used by Library staff.

  17. Option to exclude facets when searching the library

    When adding a reference from the library search, you can filter based on "Type" and "Available here" facets in Leganto. This is great, but it would also be helpful if you could exclude facets as well, like you can in Primo. For instance, if you don't want Open Access records you should be able to exclude them. The "Type" facets are usually mutually exclusive (so isn't as relevant to exclude), but this is not true for the "Available here" facets. References can for instance be both "Open access" and "Peer reviewed" at the same time.

    Our specific use case is…

  18. Create a configuration option that allows due back date to default to be empty instead of course end date

    We don't remove things from physical reserves at the end of the term automatically. We wish to be able to have reading lists default to an empty due back date. Currently we have to create a set and run a bulk update job to clear the due back date because it defaults to the end of the term.

    We propose a new configuration option somewhere that allows institutions to choose whether due back date defaults to the end of term, or whether it defaults to an empty value.

  19. Usability of Favorites especially in LTI view - Suggest from right panel

    Using the LTI view the left menu (Lists and Favorites) is invisible which confines the view to the context of the LMS site the user is in. I can see why we would want to do that. However, it has the effect of making it virtually impossible for educator or student to be able to use their favorites.

    Scenario: Educator adds a citation to their list in the LTI view, then decides it is so good they want to add it to their other lists. They copy it to their favorites.... then what! (They could just copy to other lists,…

  20. Add MARC field 240 as a new field in Leganto

    We have several records representing e-books, which are published as e-books (much) later than when the same content was published as a printed book. The printed book may be published in 2007, the same e-book in 2019, and even if both dates are recorded in the 008-field of the record, this information is not displayed in Leganto. Only the actual publishing year (in our example 2019) is visible to the user. It makes it look like a newer edition, which it is not.
    Ex: https://bibsys-k.alma.exlibrisgroup.com/leganto/readinglist/citation/14473946130002204?institute=47BIBSYS_UBO&auth=SAML
