    This Is still an important gap where a known individual (instructor or library staff) needs to be removed from lists/course instructor. As it can also impact on LTI/My Lists it would be useful to have bulk tools to reduce manual effort.

  2. Enable the students post comments to the library, per item on a list

    Would be useful to understand what sorts of queries might be expected (so whether any metadata from item, or just a general message box. Also maybe relates to how integrations for CRM systems are - see also : https://ideas.exlibrisgroup.com/forums/395697-leganto/suggestions/42656242-could-it-be-possible-to-allow-a-springshare-libapp

  3. Allow removal of LTI-added lists from My lists by users themselves

    Some developments here in 2021 to allow Library staff not to be passed as instructor, and so automatically be made list owner helping here. Still maty be a bit of a hassle to remove library staff from being course instructors without manually going into each one. Same for list owner. However, definitely progress on this front with the Feb 2021 release, so may almost be resolved!

    This is an increasingly important feature to push for as students have more lists over a longer period of multiple semesters/academic years. Without other year/term filtering or control within My Lists, the basic lack of an option to remove things added seems unfair on students who should be able to drop what they do not want, especially if they were just browsing. In addition, there is a complication here nbetween lists and courses in that My lists shows lists for a course, but the add feature is very much list level, whereas the LTI method is very much Course-level whether for 1 or many courses.
    It would be usefu to understand the relationship between LTI My lists and the new Course Enrolment as documented here:
    https://knowledge.exlibrisgroup.com/Leganto/Product_Documentation/Leganto_Online_Help_(English)/Leganto_Administration_Guide/Configuring_Leganto_Integration_Profiles/Configuring_Importing_Course_Enrollment_Jobs

    This loader implies students can be removed from courses, but does this really mean that all lists for those courses are removed from the students "My lists" every time - if this is doable here why not in the LTI?

    PS it is also frustrating for library staff overtime if they get caught with Instructor role and then test links and get lists added to their My Lists.

    This continues to be a problem/source of confusion.

    Agree, and this issue becomes worse over time where institutions need to retain old courses and the same individual may have increasingly confusing multiples to choose from.

    It would be useful to know if anything has changed here. As future plans for list collaboration with students come together it may be useful to understand how instructor activity versus student activity is monitored/reportable.

    Just wanted to ask if this has been resolved now with the splitting of the upload options/various changes for Faculty upload, student upload and things like the syllabus upload and whether a doc upload appears at a CMS landing page?

    Would be useful to understand the wider implications of 'parallel' working on course and list aspects - whether this is treated as a defect?

    Wondered if this came partly within the purview of an older NERS #6265 (awaiting an API/Rialto development perhaps)

    Did the [Item Request] Questions and Answers feature address this need? tagging via QnA can enforce a choice in this context although whether works as required am not sure.

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

    This also has some similarity to this idea:

    We note that the Source field (URL) may have elements (proxy prefix) for some users, but it would be useful potentially to be able to display it in some instances.
    The treatment of Source as citation metadata is also relevant here in terms of citation formats and being able to export. Possibly the ability to state the Source in the Brief Citation Format would assist?

    This remains a daily irritant for staff and can lead to accidental errors as people try to reduce the sheet to fit on a page. In the COVID era request type and request note have become more important, and apart from title/location and the barcodes there's not a lot else important.

    Some further discussion on cases round this, suggests Ex Libris not expecting to add to their form; rather was done for institutions to work with API/Webform flexibility. Still seems illogical (also compare with fields in Course Reserves/Citations e.g. Book chapter (see also Leganto).

    Are others still having issues here? It is confusing!

    Hi, this Idea describes a problem common to many institutions. Even if it is not a frequent event, when it does occur it is highly inconvenient to library staff and can frustrate the provision of efficient customer service to patrons. The manual re-issuing from one account to another (especially if over 20 loans/a single page etc) provides opportunities for errors to creep in, so it would be a very beneficial addition to the Fulfillment options to staff in the Manage Patron Services view. This is something we would hoped to have seen by now.
