  1. Add Linkedin Learning resource to the list of supported sites

    This Idea to to ask whether the LinkedIn Learning resource used by many institutions for training/self-directly study and learning activities could be added to the list of supported websites for the CiteIt! bookmarklet tool in Leganto for Instructors to harvest metadata and page urls for landing pages and individual courses/course videos possibly

  2. 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…

  3. Zotero/ Mendeley Import: Add option to select a folder/ a collection

    In Zotero and Mendeley, users can organize their references in folders or collections. In Leganto, however, citations from reference management systems can only be imported at the library level (everything). Especially for users with extensive reference collections, it would be much clearer if a specific folder or a specific collection could be selected when importing citations into Leganto.

  4. Reading List Bulk Update job - reset copyright status

    Given that the Reading List Bulk Update job is designed to reset all fields within the reading lists, it is essential to incorporate an option to reset the copyright status as well.

  5. Getting Started Reading List

    When a new user accesses the reading list system maybe they should be greeted with an example reading list which includes citations from Leganto YouTube playlist showing the features and how to use the system. Possibly create a student version and another for the reading list designer to show. Librarians could edit the Getting Started List to include their own citations and sections as well

  6. Could it be possible to allow a SpringShare Libapps widgets to appear in Leganto front-end (e.g LibChat)

    This ideas is to explore how far it might be possible to allow integration with a common Library CRM tool - whether it might be possible to integrate Libchat into Leganto. LibChat is the live chat bit of LibAnswers application from SpringShare's LibApps suite. and widgets can be added to webpages, and required a script element in the page HEAD or bottom, and then a div id added where the chat widget was called in the page.
    Allowing such an integration for a common tool (which would be possible in a Primo customisation) would potentially allow more flexible support options.…

  7. Shibboleth SSO authentication for Refworks

    Recently the new version of RefWorks created SSO authentication process for Users. We have enabled this process. However, currently when users export records from Leganto to Refworks. It isn't allowed in many cases. As users need to use their new Refworks username and password. For Leganto to login to RefWorks and export the record.
    Solution. It would be better if users in Leganto could use SSO to sign into Refworks. So a specific new RefWorks password is no longer needed.

  8. Include option for sans-serif header font in Leganto

    Currently the four options for fonts in Leganto all have serif fonts as their header fonts. Our university has recently moved to a new webpage style where all text (headers included) is sans-serif, and we'd like an option to have this reflected in Leganto for the sake of consistency.

    The existing font options already include sans-serif fonts for content text, so perhaps one of these could be suitable as a header font in the correct size.

    Existing options: https://knowledge.exlibrisgroup.com/Leganto/Product_Documentation/Leganto_Online_Help_(English)/Leganto_Administration_Guide/Configuring_Leganto_UI_Elements/05_Configuring_Leganto_UI_Elements#Configuring_Headings_and_Text_in_Leganto

  9. Make Primo's related records indicator available for Leganto

    When setting the "primo availability for citations added from primo" parameter to false, related records are displayed for citations in Leganto.

    In theory this is great - for books and their ebook version as those are more or less the same thing.

    Where it gets problematic are cases where a textbook and its corresponding exercise book are related. Leganto just mixes the inventory without giving any indication that not all holdings are for the actual title (screenshot).

    Primo has a good solution for this - they added a header after the 'real' inventory and listed the related inventory below that.…

  10. Enable default Course Year to be configured in Alma similar to Start and End date default

    In Alma configuration you can set a default course start and end date that is allocated when a new course is created.
    Course Year does not have a configurable default and so must be entered every time.

    It would be really helpful if there was a configurable default Course Year.

  11. Improved analytics reporting for new LTI functionality

    Since upgrading to the new v1.3 of the LTI we are encouraging instructors to make use of the new functionality in the VLE such as embedding citation metadata or links to specific parts of reading lists.

    Anecdotally we know that our instructors are using and enjoying these new features. However, we'd like to be able report on and demonstrate the impact of this.

    Could the Student Usage area of analytics be developed to be able to report on how many click throughs from, for example, embedded citations or embedded links there are from VLE to Leganto?

    There may be additional…

  12. Expanding Parent Lists – changes reflected on children lists

    The new functionality of Parent lists (12/22) allowing folks to easily identify, and copy parent lists is appreciated. However, we feel that the functionality needs to be made further functional by allowing updates to the parent list to be reflected on the active copied or children lists. As it currently stands it’s exceedingly time-consuming to manage changes and broken links as it requires staff to make updates in multiple locations.

  13. Enable selection of multiple RLs when adding a resource

    Some times the same record / resource needs to be added to multiple reading lists. Currently it is possible to be done one at a time, by checking each time just one RL (radio button). It will be much more effective to change it so that more than one could be selected (check box).

  14. Show or hide individual General Electronic Services in Leganto

    It is currently possible to control when General Electronic services display in Primo / Primo VE using Display Logic Rules. However, these rules only allow you to make decisions based on data in the record being displayed.

    It would be good to have parameters in the Display Logic Rules that would allow showing or hiding a service based on which display the record is being displayed in (Primo VE vs Leganto).

    In many cases, we want some of the Primo GES's to appear in Leganto, but not all of them. In the current setup, we don't have the granularity to…

  15. Add course adds/drops to the user record history in Alma

    When you look at a user record in Alma, you can see the list of courses they are enrolled in. However, the user record's "history" tab doesn't include changes to their course enrollments. Having that history would be useful in troubleshooting access to course materials for individuals – you'd be able to see what they have been enrolled in, as well as when they might have lost access to a given course, for example.

  16. course terms - change code to correspond with description

    We are about to start using Terms in Leganto. However, we have seen that you can only change the description of TERM1 etc. not the code. Therefore it is very confusing to remember TERM1 is All Year or TERM9 is Short Module - Spring. This will be difficult to work with when creating the course loader files for the annual rollover. It would be much better if you could change the code as well as the description in the course terms mapping table, so they match.

  17. Find all lists for a faculty when courses are associated to subdepartments

    Would it be possible to change the structure of the Academic Department table so that Faculties and associated sublevel (institutes/department) are matched together in Alma/Leganto.

    When both faculties and institutes are visible in the Leganto search it creates an expectation for the user that by choosing a faculty, they will get to see reading lists for all courses within the faculty regardless of the department. However, as the courses are usually associated to the departments, they will get no results.

    Because of that we have recommended that our institutions upload either faculties or departments, not both, but we think it…

  19. Improving the in-list searching in Leganto

    When searching for a specific citation in Leganto, there are instances where no results are returned. We recently noticed this happening if the search is mis-spelled, shortened or if a special character is used. This happens even if the special character is in the title of the item.
    It appears to be a very specific search, almost working like a Ctrl+F function rather than being flexible. We use the in-list search function a lot, so it would be great if this could be more flexible to allow for these types of instances.

  20. Preferred language set for both Alma and Leganto

    Leganto is a patron-facing system and is translated to several different languages. Alma is a back-office system for librarians and are not translated as such.

    In Leganto you can select the interface language. This changes the preferred language setting on the user-profile in Alma as well. We can see the change in the history-tab on the user-profile.

    The issue is that if the language is set to a language other than english, parts of Alma displays translated values (I assume values that are used in patron facing elements) while other parts are not translated. E.g. a mix of Norwegian and…
