  1. 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"…

  2. Purchase request letter - Regarding your Purchase Request

    Is is possible to make the Letter - Regarding your Purchase Request (the reply letter that is generate from a purchase request made via Leganto to the customer) to be more customisable or at least to contain the basic bibliographic details of year and edition?

  3. 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…

  4. 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…

  5. Ability to upload citations to multiple lists in bulk

    We would like to include a citation on all of our reading lists for the Cite them right database, as it would be useful for students. We would like to add the citation to multiple lists in one action rather than doing it individually but there doesn't seem to be a way of doing this.

  6. Option to configure automatic Digitisation Requests with "Chapter" citations

    It is possible to configure Leganto so that when a new "Book" citation is added, a new Purchase Request is raised in Alma.

    However, with newly added "Chapter" citations, either the Leganto Instructor or Operator then has to raise a digitisation request manually from the list, for each one of these citation types.

    It would help to have the option to configure Leganto so that each newly added "Chapter" citation could automatically generate a Digitisation Request, with the metadata from the generated Citation (including the page range or Chapter title) included in the request.

    This would mirror what currently is…

  7. 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.

  8. 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

  9. 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…

  10. Display the "Resource Sharing Request" in a Network environment

    We belong to a Network. In Leganto we can configure the search and add citations using the Network scope. In this case, when the teacher adds citations from records that belong to another member of the network in Leganto, in the citation availability space, no option is shown. We would like it to show
    the "Resource Sharing Request" just like in the Primo interface.

  11. 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

  12. More control over the description field for rollover lists

    Some of our institutions have used the list description field to write year-specific information. This is an issue when the list is rolled over and the information for the previous semester is still visible.

    We would want to have more control over the description field, especially when it comes to rolled over lists but not only. Therefore we would like the possibility to choose in the rollover setup if the description field should be copied to the new list or not, and in addition the possibility to run a bulk job to delete the content of the description field on…

  13. Add Electronic Collection data to Course Reserves Analytics

    In Alma Analytics, accessing information about Leganto citations is best managed via the Course Reserves area. However, the Course Reserve reports available seem set up for physical items. For example, we do not have the option to pull Electronic Collection data from Alma Analytics for citations. The limitation is especially true for CDI resources, where you cannot even obtain an MMS ID.

    When vendors pull ebooks or other cited materials from their selection, it’s important that the library is able to identify affected resources quickly. This allows the library to proactively manage the citation, locating the materials elsewhere or work…

  14. Add link checker for instructors

    When an instructor copies a reading list to use for another course/semester it would be nice the instructors to be able to run a link checker so dead links can be fixed before publishing the list.

  15. 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.

  16. 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.

  17. 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…

  18. Publish_default_mode needs to developed to allow different processes dependent on set criteria

    Situation - Currently we are trying to make the majority of our reading lists open access. However, due to departmental and copyright issues. We cant make all lists open access. Therefore, we currently have Publishdefaultmode set to All Students Full. Which means staff manually run sets on a daily basis to find readings lists that have been published and are not from two specific academic departments and run a bulk reading list job to change them to All Students Full, Anyone Restricted.

    Solution. We would prefer that the Publishdefaultmode is enhanced to publish lists with different…

  19. Search/filtering of list selection dialog in Primo "Send to Leganto" action

    When adding a citation from Primo using the Leganto action object, users are presented with a drop down list of all reading lists they are an owner or collaborator on. This list is sorted from oldest to newest and it's difficult to find the proper list if many are displayed.

    Our faculty liaisons and course reserves staff frequently use this tool and may be collaborators on scores or even hundreds of lists that may have similar names. Faculty too, may have multiple lists of the same name if they teach the same course from term to term.

  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
