Improve searching for citations in Leganto list view
Searching for citations in Leganto can sometimes show inaccurate and unexpected results.
For example, if someone tries to use "" to search for an exact phrase, it won't bring up results because "" isn't supported as a search operator. Or, if a book title has a )/?/-/./( in it, including that character in your search won't bring up the book. There is also no support for partial matching on words, e.g. "manage" won't bring up "management".
This causes confusion for users if they don't understand why results are being affected and can't find resources. We would like searching to be…

Reading list comments - alerts removed if comments are deleted
We receive notification when a comment has been made to a reading list, in both Alma in the Recent Changes tab and in the Reading List Notification (bell).
However, if the comment is subsequently deleted by the student or instructor no notification is given. We have wasted time searching for comments that do not exist. It would be great to know a comment has been deleted.1 vote -
Review how the Alma course load/reading list rollover job works
We run Leganto Rollover through Alma every year. It has been increasingly more difficult as the job takes longer each year.
Can we please request that rollover process be re-evaluated in general. But specifically in the time it takes to process.
We need the rollover to run in one day if possible. It seems that if rollover uses a large input file it takes a very long time. It's becoming unmanageable for our users as currently one load job is taking over 48 hours.
We'd like it to be simplified in general. Obviously we are all different and each site…

Citations' Sticker price
In a webinar recently, the trainer talked about being able to add a sticker price to a Leganto citation. This would allow the ability to generate a more accurate report on savings for students. However, currently this has to be manually entered for every citation. I know eventually we will be able to use the API to add this data, and even though that's better, it's not a great way to utilize the system. My idea is this:
1) within Alma, citations have an assigned sticker price;
2) in Leganto, when Instructors pull from these citations, they get that sticker…1 vote -
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…

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.

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

implement SSO via Microsoft Azure for Leganto so that our Brightspace users do not have to logon via ezproxy when on an off-campus PC.
Our Brightspace users have already logged on via our university portal which uses Microsoft Azure SSO. From within Brightspace, they access the Leganto reading list where they click on Primo links to our subscribed resources. We use OCLC-hosted ezproxy to authenticate users when they click a link from the library website but when users have already authenticated into Primo or Brightspace via Azure, there is no need for them to be prompted a second time via ezproxy. This is a major inconvenience for our online-only courses where students all always coming from an off-campus PC but have already authenticated via…

If reading list can be restored, do not purge citations when deleting a course
If you have configured the setting deletereadinglist to logical, then deleted reading lists can be restored.
However, if you delete a course that has a reading list attached, and then wish to restore the deleted reading list, the citations on the list have been purged.
If you have set a deleted reading list to be able to be restored, it does not make sense to purge the citations on the list. We would like citations to also be able to be restored when the deletereadinglist setting is logical.

Search field to look up lists to copy sections to
When copying a section, one can choose which reading list the section will be copied to. This solution makes difficult for staff enrolled on a large number of lists, as the correct list to move the section to can then fall off the drop down menu. Instead of a dropdown menu we would like a search field so that staff can look up the list instead, the same way one can look up courses when associating a list to a course.

Editor button integration: show requirement to choose bibliography style
When selecting a citation using the editor button, the Add button does not work until a bibliography style is selected from the drop-down menu. For the new user, this can be confusing. It needs a visual indicator of some kind, such as prompt text in the box or an error message. Ideally, there would be default as there is for the link text, and it would be "sticky" -- remembering the user's last selection.

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.

Make the template wizard accessible
Make the template wizard in the new UI accessible at any point during the creation of the list, not just at the initial setup stage. This would mean that if the list creator removed everything from their list to start again, or wanted to have merged templates (ie a week by week and a bibliography) they wouldn't have to create every section individually from that point.

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,…

Make the 'Mark as read' symbol more prominent
We feel that students are not making best use of this feature, perhaps because it's not immediately clear that the small 'tick' icon carries this function. Could this be displayed more clearly, for example by displaying the 'Mark as read' text without having to hover over the icon.

Allow placeholder text in author field
When instructors create a citation they have to enter the author manually. We want them to always enter the author as Surname, I.N. or at least Surname, Firstname - so students get used to the preferred citation format and for copyright reporting purposes - but there's nothing to remind them of this.
We'd like placeholder text to display in the author field, which would be configurable via the Labels code table.

Add courses to User API
We have a regular feed of user data from our student information system (SIS) into Alma. The SIS also holds course data, so we'd like to be able to simply include course enrolment data in the existing feed, rather than set up a separate process.
As well as one process being better than two :-) it's a more practical fit to how the data is available. The current process for course enrolment in Leganto requires us to run one job for added courses and one job for deleted courses. But our SIS can't create a list of courses that have…

Hide the thumbnail URL in the citation view
In Leganto if the thumbnail URL is populated the whole URL (which could be long, unwieldy, and of no interest to the user) is displayed.
Just use it to show the thumbnail, but don't show the URL itself.

Allow instructors to view reading lists for courses in My Lists without being collaborator/owner of list
It should be possible in My Lists for instructors to view all courses where they are listed as an instructor and any lists associated with those courses, without being a collaborator or manually adding the courses to My Lists. Perhaps via a sub-section within My Lists e.g. My Courses, to designate those where they are a reading list owner and those where they are not.
This would be of use if the functionality to auto-add instructors as collaborators to lists was not enabled, to allow instructors to be able to see which courses they are associated to. It could also…
