We would like "Campus" to be a facet in the Reading list overview in Alma.

Add ability to filter citations with files attached in reading list view
When searching citations in Alma, one of the facets available is "File", with the options "File attached" / "File not attached". However, when viewing a reading list, this option doesn't seem to be available.
This would be useful to us to quickly identify citations on a reading list which have an attached file, for example when checking copyright for digitisations.

Visualización del tipo de documento en Leganto
Nos gustaría que en la lista de lectura de leganto el tipo de material (Libro, WWW, Artículo...) apareciera en una línea solo y el título del documento se visualice en línea aparte. Así se tendría una visión mejor del tipo de documento y la cita en sí misma.

Lock/hide courses
When instructors associate a course to their list, they can choose between all the courses they are an instructor on, including previous years. With very similar names, if not identical, they often choose the wrong one. This is not always easy to discover. It would help if it was possible to lock all courses previous to a chosen year & semester/date so that they don't appear in the list or at least, so that they cannot be associated.

Automatic status depending on file upload and copyright clearance
We've configured Leganto so when a file is uploaded the copyright status goes to Waiting for Approval, and the citation status shows as In Process. On the other hand when an instructor creates a citation which has a full text link available, the citation will automatically be Complete. This covers the simple cases: a citation with only a link is ready for students to use immediately, and a citation without a link needs the instructor to upload a file which they then need to request copyright clearance for.
But it doesn't support our copyright requirements for more complex cases. Eg…

Restrict Tags to specific Material Types
It would be really great if tags could be restricted to specific material types.
We are using tags that are e.g. only applicable for books and e-books but not websites etc. but still show up for those types, too.3 votes -
Hide misleading 'Available in Formats' status in Search Results
When searching Summon, via 'Add Items', it shows eBooks as available just because an ebook exists, and not necessarily because we own it - this can be misleading. It updates once the item is added to the Reading List, but should only show formats that are available or not show any format detail at all until the book has been added. In the example shown, we only own a print copy - but the results make it look like we own the e.

Add "Uploaded file" as availability option in questions
Currently we can have a question appear based on whether a citation is held in print, electronically, or in the digital collection. It would be useful to also have the option of having the question appear based on whether the user has uploaded a file to the item.
Example use case: we configure a question "EU" and it appears when the item has Electronic holdings and the user has also Uploaded the file. This lets us confirm whether they really need both methods, and make sure that copyright clearance is dealt with, which we haven't been able to make work…

Support Local Resource Types in Library Search faceting
Provide the option to include Local Resource Types in Leganto’s Library Search facets.
We have created Alma Local Resource Types for use in Primo. However, those resource types are not reflected in Leganto’s Library Search resource type facets. As a result users have no way to limit by those local resource types.
For example, we have created a local resource type printbook, and all remaining ebook items that don’t fit the local printbook criteria remain in the default book facet. Leganto users can limit by the default “Book” resource type which actually contains our ebooks, but cannot limit…

view videos directly via a Leganto/ Alma Viwer
Uploaded video in Leganto can only be downloaded and cannot be viewed online. We think it would be a great feature if ExLibris could implement the option to view videos directly via a 'Leganto/(Alma)' viewer

Separate Alma "attach existing file" from Leganto "upload file" for automatic citation statuses
We have set citationuploadedfile to "ReadyForProcessing" so that when an educator uploads a file we know we have to pay attention to copyright audit and process the citation promptly.
When library staff use the "Attach Existing File" function in Alma it sets the citations to "Ready for Processing" seemingly using the same parameter.
We would expect that an Alma user attaching a file is very different to an educator uploading a file and we should be able to define the automatic citations separately.
Note: an Alma user uploading a file when editing a citation does not trigger this…

Create a configuration option that allows due back date to default to be empty instead of course end date
We don't remove things from physical reserves at the end of the term automatically. We wish to be able to have reading lists default to an empty due back date. Currently we have to create a set and run a bulk update job to clear the due back date because it defaults to the end of the term.
We propose a new configuration option somewhere that allows institutions to choose whether due back date defaults to the end of term, or whether it defaults to an empty value.

Filter to mirror Primo VE Availability facet
When a user searches via Primo VE they have the option to filter using a facet title Availability, which contains values such as "Held By Library" and "Available Online"
We would like to suggest Leganto receives similar functionality using the filter option which currently lets a user narrow down based on Section, Tag, Type and Other.
This would allow uses to easily and quickly narrow the citations on a reading list to those available online, without the need for the library to tag each citation.

Add Citavi Integration to Leganto
As a librarian from a German library just introducing Leganto I would recommend to add Citavi to Leganto.
Citavi (https://www.citavi.com/de) is a widely used, sophisticated and user friendly reference management and knowledge organization software. It is available as site license to the members of most of German, Austrian and Swiss universities (see https://www.citavi.com/de/campuslizenzen) and additionally to some other European and overseas academic institutions (many Spanish speaking).
A Citavi integration with Leganto would be an additional benefit and welcome feature especially to new Leganto users from D A CH where for example software like RefWorks in less widely…

Improve Citations search (Alma workflows) e.g. include Journal title (and chapter title?)
Hi,
Staff find that the Citations search functionality in Alma/Course Reserves is not as effective as it could be for finding updates as the indexes which can be chosen do not cover sufficient citation metadata fields to allow for the most common searches to be supported.
Currently the search options are:
Citation ID
Course Code
Course Name
Creator
ISBN
ISSN
MMS ID
Reading List Name
TitleHowever it is frequently the case when looking to update/correct citations that a Journal title would need to be searched, and unfortunately Title does not cover this aspect of the citation metadata when the…

Hide suggestions from everyone who is not a list owner/collaborator
At the moment materials suggested for lists are visible to everyone logged in to Leganto, as well as who suggested it and the comment they added.
We'd prefer if suggestions were only visible to list owners/collaborators.

Option to rename/customise the Rialto 'Add Items' search scope
We have recently turned on the option for instructors to 'add items' using Rialto but this terminology is confusing for them.
We would like the option to customise this heading e.g. 'Search our book supplier' or 'Rialto (Library book supplier)'
This should encourage use and facilitate training.We would much prefer instructors use Rialto rather than Cite It to harvest from publisher websites. Cite It often misses key bib information and/or brings in erroneous e-links.

Option to use multiple multilingual logos
In Configuration > Leganto > UI > Branding > Logo Upoad > 'Load Leganto header logo' you can upload the logo that's gonna be displayed in the Leganto header.
But only 1 logo can be uploaded.For institutions with different logos for different languages this is rather unfortunate
Our guess is that having more than 1 logo is not an envisaged use-case (and probably a rare one, too).
Still we would really like the ability to upload multiple logos to fit all UI languages in use.

Quick Notifications to All Faculty
During the pandemic, we've undergone numerous changes to reserve and library policies and it is cumbersome right now to quickly reach out to all list owners. We want to be able to use Leganto to push notifications quickly and easily to all users to alert them to policy changes.

Allow students to access 'Course students' restricted lists via 'My Lists'
If you use the "Course Students" publication status for a reading list, students must always use an LTI link from a VLE to view the list. This means students can't access all their lists from one place ("My Lists") which isn't good for the student experience.
We would like there to be a way for students to only have to access the list via LTI once (if at all), after which they can access it from "My Lists".
