Set location for physical reserves in request
It would be helpful within Leganto for instructors to determine at either the course or the citation level which pickup location they want their course materials to reside. For libraries with central processing groups that manage multiple physical locations, we cannot always rely on faculty to put a note in the request.

More customisation for 'send for review' process - automatically sent for review, list not published
I am currently looking at configuring reading list citation statuses/the reading list review process to best fit our workflows for a small team with a large volume of lists. We find that academic staff rarely submit their lists for review so we have a lot of citations sitting in 'being prepared' and lists with completed citations still showing as 'being prepared' when they shouldn't be. Library staff begin work on these 'being prepared' citations as though they are 'ready for processing' regardless of whether the list has been submitted for review by academic staff due to the volume of citations…

Add style classes to citations imported to LMS editor
When citations are imported to an LMS text editor using the LTI 1.3 integration, these are added as HTML code with basic formatting.
Could the HTML elements which make up these citations have regular class attributes attached to them?
If so, we could use CSS included in our LMS to consistently style these citations to match the rest of our learning content.

Leganto questions when someone edits a citation from a book to a book chapter
We use Leganto questions to ask instructors whether a book chapter should be digitized or not. This works fine when they add a book chapter (manually or via search/Cite it!). However, in many cases, they can only find the whole book via search, and then they edit it and change the material type to book chapter. In these cases, the Leganto questions are not triggered.
We would like Leganto questions to also be triggered whenever someone changes a citation into a book chapter.3 votes -
Tasks widget in Alma for Reading lists total tally
Tasks widget in Alma for Reading lists total tally
In other areas the total for a category e.g. Order lines the total in the blue header is a tally of the items listed below e.g for Orders = Package + Renew + Claim.
However for Reading list figure does not tally with the entries below it which is confusing.
(In fact the entries add up to more than the total.)
This is because the Category ‘Unassigned’ actually is the total of 2 entries listed further down ‘Unassigned – processing’ and ‘Unassigned Complete’ and so these are not included in tally.…3 votes -
Allow advanced search of Citations and editing of individual citations within a set of citations
I frequently look for citations meeting certain criteria - simple like recently added Books on active lists, on published lists, where the book is essential. To do that I have to go select all citations, sort it by last created, choose the filters, active, published. I then look at a couple to e.g. see if there is a newer edition. If I want to continue with the same project, I have to recreate all the steps.
It is impossible to create a query with two filters from the same group, e.g. Material type books or Book chapters or Citation tags…

Ability to add new metadata fields to Citation Field Mapping table
Currently the citation field mapping configuration table in Alma only allows us to add a row with metadata that is pre-defined in a set drop-down list. We would like to be able to add to this list by creating extra metadata fields to choose from

Display (both) print holdings of citations that have had their availability merged in Leganto
It is currently possible to merge the availability of citations possessing different availabilities, i.e. print and online, in Leganto but it is not possible to merge the availability of citations where the availability is print and print.
For example - a citation of a regular sized junior fiction title and that of a citation of the "big book" version size of the same title which happens to be on a different catalogue record.3 votes -
Option to use multiple multilingual logos
In Configuration > Leganto > UI > Branding > Logo Upoad > 'Load Leganto header logo' you can upload the logo that's gonna be displayed in the Leganto header.
But only 1 logo can be uploaded.For institutions with different logos for different languages this is rather unfortunate
Our guess is that having more than 1 logo is not an envisaged use-case (and probably a rare one, too).
Still we would really like the ability to upload multiple logos to fit all UI languages in use.

Quick Notifications to All Faculty
During the pandemic, we've undergone numerous changes to reserve and library policies and it is cumbersome right now to quickly reach out to all list owners. We want to be able to use Leganto to push notifications quickly and easily to all users to alert them to policy changes.

Allow students to access 'Course students' restricted lists via 'My Lists'
If you use the "Course Students" publication status for a reading list, students must always use an LTI link from a VLE to view the list. This means students can't access all their lists from one place ("My Lists") which isn't good for the student experience.
We would like there to be a way for students to only have to access the list via LTI once (if at all), after which they can access it from "My Lists".

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 LAWU9CH202223AutumnA(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…

Make the copyright approval "Number of students" field be a number
Currently in Analytics, if a citation is associated with multiple courses then the "Citation Copyright"."Number of Students" field displays as eg "20;22;0". Ie it lists the number of students in each course, as a text field, rather than giving the total 42 as a number.
This is effectively useless. Our copyright reporting requires the total number. And for statistical purposes I might want to multiply the number of students by the number of pages on a citation, which I can't do with a text field.
Either
a) this field should be a number containing the total by default (this would…

Course Management System support for 2U
One of our schools use the 2U Course Management system (https://2u.com/) but currently there is no integration available with Leganto, so our School of Education is doing their own course reading lists instead of using Leganto. Ideally, we want the school to use Leganto like the other schools do with D2L so that the reading lists are all managed within Alma.

Add broken link reporting option to citation ellipsis menu
Hello there,
A student user navigating through a Leganto list sees the "View Online" button with the citations directly available in the list, without having to click into the full view each citation to access the content.
They just click on the View Online circled in pink (see attached doc), and that opens a new tab in the browser bringing them to the content.
If this link does not work, how can they report as a broken link? They have to conscious that it is necessary to fully open the citation up, and then click on the "Mark as broken"…

Show explanation when file removal is disabled
When instructorremovefile = true, instructors get the option to delete a file as long as that file hasn't gone through the copyright clearance process. If it is in/has gone through copyright clearance, the option disappears - but there's no explanation why, so it's confusing to them.
It would be beneficial to show instructors a brief explanation that file removal has been disabled because it's subject to copyright clearance.

Suggest Replacement feature - Handling citations with specific tags during course dates
If the citation has a specific tag (7 Day, Reserve, etc. as defined by the institution), the course has started and the suggestion was approved:
1. Mark the citation as ready for processing (or status of the choice of the institution)
2. Add a citation task-list alert in Alma that the suggestion was approved
This would allow staff to identify citations that needed action due to the new edition (e.g. copies need to be moved to high demand locations)2 votes -
My Collection > Increase limit
The current limit of items you can have in your Leganto Collection is 1000.
Would be good if we can increase it (or have it configurable) as we have academics wishing to export all their reading list/citations into their Collection from their previous institutions, and sometimes they exceed the limit

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.

Usability of Favorites in LTI view - How to access them
Using the LTI view (Blackboard Ultra site) 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…
