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.

Option to exclude facets when searching the library
When adding a reference from the library search, you can filter based on "Type" and "Available here" facets in Leganto. This is great, but it would also be helpful if you could exclude facets as well, like you can in Primo. For instance, if you don't want Open Access records you should be able to exclude them. The "Type" facets are usually mutually exclusive (so isn't as relevant to exclude), but this is not true for the "Available here" facets. References can for instance be both "Open access" and "Peer reviewed" at the same time.
Our specific use case is…

More file type options for Reading List bulk export
At the moment it's possible to bulk export Reading Lists by running the job called 'Reading List Bulk Update' and selecting 'Export to PDF'.
Would be beneficial if we can export to other types such as .lgn or .ris. As those files would serve better as 'baclups' and can also be imported back into Leganto

Confirmation screen when adding citation to Leganto from Primo
When adding a catalog citation to Leganto from the Primo interface (via the "Send To..." menu) there is a small popup (screenshot attached) that asks the user to choose a list, section, etc. and then click the green "Add to Leganto" button, which is great. Once this button is clicked, the page reloads and the user receives no confirmation, other than to open a new tab, navigate to the relevant list, and verify that the citation appeared in the right place. Instead, once the user clicks "Add to Leganto," would it be possible to have a similarly sized pop up…

Colour coding importance tags
Importance tags are an important way of indicating to students what their reading expectations are. We are encouraging list creators to reduce the number of sections in their lists and combine essential and background readings into single sections, using the importance tag. The tags are the same colour regardless of the criteria.
We would like to suggest a means of colour-coding tags so it is visually clearer to the student what the importance of a reading is, e.g., an essential reading could be customised with a green importance tag; a background could be customised with an orange importance tag. Each…

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…

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.

Sort citations by section in Alma
Most of our institutions use a two-section structure in Leganto, where one section is recommended literature. Citations in this section are not treated the same way by the library as "mandatory citations". Hence the need to sort citations in reading lists by section in Alma.
The feedback we got from an institution is that they would like "Section" to be a filter/dropdown menu where they can choose a specific section, the same way the tag menu works.

Complete change log for reading lists
Our Instructors are in need of a feature that allow them to retrieve/view a complete change log for reading lists.
The feature ‘View recent changes’ is somewhat similar, but the feed currently only display changes made by others - not your own. It would be great if this feature were expanded to include all changes made on a list.
Being able to review all changes made to a reading list is not only useful for monitoring a list, it is also an important collaboration tool – primarily with fellow Instructors, but also e.g. when reviewing course material changes with faculty…

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.

Reading list ‘bulk export’ in Leganto
Currently the only way to export reading lists in Leganto is exporting them one at a time. I would like to suggest an option for a bulk export of reading lists, where one can export more than one list in a single operation.
A possible workflow could be adding an ‘Export’-option in the “Find lists”-menu, and using a prompt for selecting lists to export. It could additionally be available in the “My lists”-menu.
Ideally the export options should be the same as when exporting a single list or section, with choices like File Type, Bibliographic Styles and Sorting.There are…

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.

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.

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.

Improvement and development of the Leganto broken link handling
At the moment Alma offers very little to properly handle Leganto broken links via the task-list menu. Once a Broken Link Alert is removed, the information is gone from Alma entirely. The functionality is inadequate as a workflow for library staff when investigating and recording details of our progress in fixing the problem, keeping students informed and statistical reporting.
We would like to see additional functionality :
• Broken Link Alerts to have a more permanent record in Alma and Analytics
• Introduction of additional fields to capture information about the Broken Links - for example broken link status (e.g.…197 votes -
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…

Use the “Course Reserves Automatic Statuses” regardless of rollover type when recalculating citation status
Idea based on SalesForce case 00938590
TLDR: Use the “Course Reserves Automatic Statuses” regardless of rollover type when recalculating citation status.
In Leganto, there are two ways of initiating a rollover:
A: Directly in the Leganto interface by staff or instructors
B: Via a Course Loading Integration Profile in AlmaWhen a rollover is initiated through the Leganto interface, it follows certain rules set in the system (Configuration Menu > Leganto > List Management > Instructor Rollover Operations). If «Citation statuses» is set to “Recalculate”, the rollover process treats all the citations as if they were new and consults the…

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."75 votes -
Add a librarian/reviewer field to Reading List in Alma
We would like to have a possibility to add information about librarian/reviewer (a person who is responsible for processing the list) or list coordinator (someone who distributes/assigns lists to reviewers in a particular department) to reading list in Alma. It should be an editable field, available for rollover, and visible in Analytics in Course Reserves Subject Area.
In the future this information can be used to configure the following auto-assign-workflow: when the list owner sends a list to the library, the list changes its status to Ready for processing, Reviewer/Coordinator is activated as an assignee, and a message about auto-assign…

Automatic enrichment (update) of reading list citations
We are looking at using Rialto and ordering from Leganto looks to be a good option as Academics can place requests (Purchase requests) through the system. Ideally we would like the entry in Leganto to update the citation and status automatically once a bib is attached to the citation.
