  1. Display whether citation appears on another list

    Previously there was a feature that displayed whether a citation existed on another reading list, with some limited functionality, e.g. only displaying if the other list was also on your My Lists page and the citation was an Alma repository item. This feature was taken away by Product Management in January 2022. We have received feedback from instructors that they would like to know when a citation is in use on any other list at the institution, including those not taught by them and where courses are not currently active (but lists are Published). This ensures they are not duplicating…

  2. Allow subsections

    It would be helpful to allow the creation of subsections within each section. For example, I have a reading list and the sections are labeled Module 01, etc. In the syllabus, the instructor has 6-7 readings that say "choose one or two of these". This can be added as a public note on those specific readings, but it would be nice to have the option to create a subsection within that module instead - or some other way to group those readings together.

  3. Enable tags generated by questions to set item status

    Currently the "revert_citation_status_by_adding_tags" options have no effect on citations that are tagged as a result of a question. This is because when the instructor answers the question and clicks "Confirm", first the tags are added, and then the citation is actually created.

    Our use case is that if the instructor selects a certain answer, we want to apply a tag and based on that tag apply an automatic citation status ReadyForProcessing to ensure it appears in the tasklist for library staff.

    A possible solution is to reverse the order of operations when the instructor clicks confirm: first create the citation…

  5. Course create dates from CMS Moodle- Leganto Chat

    When an instructor creates a new course from Moodle, the start and end date of the course is the same and it coincides with the course creation date.

    We would like the instructor, when creating a new course from Moodle, to be able to choose the start and end date of the course

  6. Better interoperability – add a new symbol in Alma as an indication when an attachment is hidden in Leganto

    We use the Leganto citation ‘Hide link’ feature to hide attachments from the Student view.

    As UNSW process reading lists in Alma, it will be helpful if there is a symbol to indicate the attachment is hidden so we don’t have to select the "View in Leganto" for each citation to check whether the attachment is hidden or not.

    We manually add a tag to show if an attachment is hidden, but it is not practical.

    It will be even better if the ‘Hide link’ option is available in Alma, in addition to Leganto.

    Thank you.

  7. The ability to ask multiple questions and answers on one citation

    We currently have a question setup in Leganto. To ask whether a piece of reading is mandatory or supplementary. We were testing asking a question about Print only items needing to be digitized. However, we found out that you can only ask one question for one citation. It would be good to have the ability to have more than one question for one citation being created.

  9. Multiple assignees per list

    Some institutions would like the possibility to have several assigned librarians per lists.
    "We have many lists common to several campuses, and it will only increase in the future. In order to have a local overview, the campus libraries would like to be able to see the lists that are relevant to their campus. As of today this is difficult, as one one librarian can be assigned a list. We need to rely on manual processes (forwarding lists, and having manual overviews over which lists are for multiple campuses). This is difficult to maintain."

  10. Add "Uploaded file" as availability option in questions

    Currently we can have a question appear based on whether a citation is held in print, electronically, or in the digital collection. It would be useful to also have the option of having the question appear based on whether the user has uploaded a file to the item.

    Example use case: we configure a question "EU" and it appears when the item has Electronic holdings and the user has also Uploaded the file. This lets us confirm whether they really need both methods, and make sure that copyright clearance is dealt with, which we haven't been able to make work…

  11. Automatic status depending on file upload and copyright clearance

    We've configured Leganto so when a file is uploaded the copyright status goes to Waiting for Approval, and the citation status shows as In Process. On the other hand when an instructor creates a citation which has a full text link available, the citation will automatically be Complete. This covers the simple cases: a citation with only a link is ready for students to use immediately, and a citation without a link needs the instructor to upload a file which they then need to request copyright clearance for.

    But it doesn't support our copyright requirements for more complex cases. Eg…

  12. Support Local Resource Types in Library Search faceting

    Provide the option to include Local Resource Types in Leganto’s Library Search facets.

    We have created Alma Local Resource Types for use in Primo. However, those resource types are not reflected in Leganto’s Library Search resource type facets. As a result users have no way to limit by those local resource types.

    For example, we have created a local resource type printbook, and all remaining ebook items that don’t fit the local printbook criteria remain in the default book facet. Leganto users can limit by the default “Book” resource type which actually contains our ebooks, but cannot limit…

  13. Additional copyright rule parameters

    Currently we can create a copyright rule with a parameter "Publisher" so we could automatically block or approve copyright clearance requests based on the publisher.

    The copyright licensing body in New Zealand provides a list of titles excluded from the licensing scheme. Some of these are defined by publisher, but others are defined by title specifically, by ISBN, or by author. It would be useful for us to create rules based on title, ISBN, or author to block our other copyright rules from automatically clearing copyright in these cases.

  14. Automatically update reading list code in Alma

    When a list is 'rolled over', the new 'course' created in Alma has the correct code from the LMS e.g. Canvas. The correct code also appears in the 'reading list' in Leganto. However, in Alma the reading list copies the code from the previous year and adds a (1) to the end.
    As an example:
    In Alma the course code is: LAWU9CH202223AutumnA
    In Leganto the code is LAWU9CH
    202223AutumnA(2022/23)
    but in the Reading List in Alma it says LAWU9CH39_2020(1)(1)

    It would be much clearer for the reading list in Alma to automatically follow the same…

  15. Restrict Tags to specific Material Types

    It would be really great if tags could be restricted to specific material types.
    We are using tags that are e.g. only applicable for books and e-books but not websites etc. but still show up for those types, too.

  16. Automatic purchase request needs to be triggered automatic with a scheduled job

    Currently the Automatic Purchase request process in Alma. Is not Automatic. Staff have to go into a citation and re-save it for the automatic process to be triggered. Or we have to run the Process and Enrich Citations job to trigger the automatic purchase request.
    It would be better if this process was ran as a scheduled job like the active courses process. Rather than staff accidently triggering a purchase request by just re-saving a citation that they are working on.
    It would be also good that automatic purchase requests do not have to be assigned a staff member to…

  17. Publish electronic records without inventory as e-book and not physical book

    We are a consortium, and we have a certain number of e-book records without inventory in our network zone. Deleting these records is not an option for us for various reasons.

    The expected Alma behavior for such records if there is no inventory is to publish as physical. It applies to both Primo and Leganto.

    Use case: an instructor uses the expanded search to check for newer edition of a book they have previously used in a reading list. They add what seems to be a newer physical edition from 2020. In reality, the record is an e-book published as…

  18. Set default citation statuses in RIS import

    When we add an item manually, a resource locate is run and a default citation status is added based on our configuration. But when we import items in a batch (eg via RIS import), these actions don't take place.

    This means that items all import as "Being Prepared" instead of being automatically marked as "Complete" (if we have full-text online available) or being flagged for our attention (in other cases). We don't have a workflow to deal with this - due to low staffing we have to rely on automation - so we can't promote this batch import functionality to…

  19. Lock/hide courses

    When instructors associate a course to their list, they can choose between all the courses they are an instructor on, including previous years. With very similar names, if not identical, they often choose the wrong one. This is not always easy to discover. It would help if it was possible to lock all courses previous to a chosen year & semester/date so that they don't appear in the list or at least, so that they cannot be associated.

  20. Allow configuration of the "Most Common" items types displayed at Add Item in Leganto

    When adding items in the Leganto user interface, the material type list is long, but a small number of material types are given prominence as "Most common". For the purposes of assisting instructors to correctly add certain item types (extracts, Eoffprints, etc, it would be very useful to be able to add items to this list or configure what appears. The most common is much larger and clearer and so for lesser used but important material types it can prove difficult for instructors to find them causing extra work and more unnecessary queries for library staff.
