Enabling or Disabling Individual Guided Videos (Classic UI Only)
You can enable or disable individual guided videos in the Getting Started Videos section, using the Guided Videos table, found in Leganto Configuration > Features > Guided Videos. In this table you can enable/disable the display of a video link in the guided videos section, change the name of the link, change the URL of the link, and change the order of the link in the displayed list.
Configuring Translations of Guided Videos (Classic UI Only)
You can configure translations of the label of any new video you add to the Guided Videos section, using the Customer Labels table (found in Leganto Configuration > General > Customer Labels).
When a value in the Code column of the Customer Labels table matches a value in the Guided Video column of the Guided Videos table, and you select a language in Leganto, the corresponding copyright option in the Guided Videos area of Leganto appears with the value in the matching Translation column of the Customer Labels table for that language.
For instance, if you add a video called Creating_a_list_video in the Guided Videos table, and you want to translate the video name into French, then in the Customer Labels table, you can select French from the Filter dropdown, and add a row to the Customer Labels table whose Code value matches the Creating_a_list_video value from the Guided videos table. In the Translation field, you can then enter the translated name of the video.
When French is selected as the language in Leganto, the guided video appears with the translation you entered into the Translation field of the Customer Labels table.

Displaying Leganto in a New Tab
When Leganto is embedded in an iFrame, it may be helpful to open Leganto in a new tab so that users can enlarge it for better viewing. By default, the Open New Tab icon appears in Leganto when Leganto is embedded in an iFrame. Selecting the icon opens Leganto in a new tab so that users can work in Leganto independently.
To disable the Open New Tab icon, set the display_open_new_tab parameter to false in the Leganto Features mapping table (Configuration Menu > Leganto > Features > Leganto Features).
When accessing Leganto from an LMS, if browser settings are set to block third-party cookies, the OPEN NEW TAB button is now only displayed until it is selected. After selecting the button, the page must be refreshed for the button to be available again.
The display_logout_in_embedded parameter key (Configuration Menu > Leganto > Leganto Features) determines whether to show (true) or hide (false) the Logout menu item. The default is true.

Configuring Working with Reading Lists
Other options on this page also affect how an instructor works with reading lists, but these options are specific to the reading list configuration workflow.
Enabling Reading List Syllabuses
Configuring Reading List Publication Options
When a reading list is published, the course's students can a) view the reading list and its citations and also b) view the list's course materials (electronic resources and uploaded files). The library can configure additional publishing options for instructors. Access to a published reading list, section, or citation is available by browsing the Leganto user interface or by navigating to the relevant shareable link. When trying to access a reading list, section, or citation that is not publicly available, and the user is not already logged in, Leganto tries to log the user in.
You can use the customer parameters in Configuration Menu > Leganto > List Management > Publishing to set the publishing options that appear in Leganto. An explanation of the parameters appears after the list.
-
No publishing options — Set the parameter auto_publish_default_mode to Yes and configure the parameter publish_default_mode.
-
Basic publishing options — Set the parameter auto_publish_default_mode to No, set advanced_publish_options to No, and configure the parameters student_visibility_default_materials_option and public_visibility_default_materials_option.
-
Full publishing options (Classic UI Only) — Set the parameter auto_publish_default_mode to No, set advanced_publish_options to Yes, and configure the parameter publish_default_mode.
When auto_publish_default_mode is No and advanced_publish_options is No, the instructor's options for publishing are:
-
Course students — Course students (only) can view the reading list and view the course materials.
-
All students at the institution — All students at the institution can view the reading list. Set student_visibility_default_materials_option to configure whether all students or only course students, can view the course materials.
-
Anyone — Anyone with the course shareable link can view the reading list. Set public_visibility_default_materials_option to configure whether anyone, all students, or only course students can view the course materials. You can also configure how shareable links are created so that they conform to the login method you are using: CAS, SAML, LDAP, or local login (see below).
(Classic UI Only) When auto_publish_default_mode is No and advanced_publishing_options is Yes, the same options are available to the instructors. However, when selecting either of the two less restrictive options (all students or everyone), the instructor can also select to whom to make the course materials available:
-
If the instructor selects list access for all students, the instructor can select whether to make the course materials available to all students or leave them available only to course students.
-
If the instructor selects list access for everyone, the instructor can select whether to make the course materials available to everyone, to all students, or just course students.
You can configure the default selected options using publish_default_mode. If you set auto_publish_default_mode to Yes, the instructor is not given any publishing options; the list is immediately published according to its default selection as configured in publish_default_mode.
The complete list of parameters and values is as follows:
Parameter | Value | Note |
---|---|---|
auto_publish_on_create
|
No
|
Lists are created as drafts.
|
Yes
|
All new reading lists created in Leganto are immediately published according to the publish_default_mode on the Leganto Publishing Configuration page.
(Classic UI Only) Only lists created in Leganto are published by default, including lists created using the NEW LIST button on the My Lists page or using the Create button on the Quick Start screen. Lists that are created by other means, including the Reading List Loader integration profile, the API, or using the Alma interface are not published automatically.
|
|
auto_publish_default_mode |
Yes |
No options are presented to the instructor. Reading lists are automatically published in the mode set in publish_default_mode. All other parameters are ignored. |
No |
Options are presented to the instructor. When advanced_publish_options is Yes, options are pre-selected according to publish_default_mode. |
|
publish_default_mode |
|
Relevant only when advanced_publish_options is Yes. When auto_publishing_default_mode is No, the publishing options displayed to the instructor are pre-selected by this parameter. Otherwise, reading lists are automatically published in this mode. "Student" here means anyone who can log in to Leganto and who has the Patron role. "Course student" means a student who accessed Leganto from the course on the CMS. |
advanced_publish_options |

New for September! show_publishing_options
|
|
Institutions can control which list publishing options to display to instructors when sending a list to the library for review.
This parameter is only relevant when auto_publish_default_mode is set to No.
The default setting when auto_publish_default_mode is set to No is Registered, All, Anyone. The default selected setting for this parameter is based on the setting in the publish_default_mode parameter.
|
Set the parameters publish_as_button and/or send_list_as_button (Configuration Menu > Leganto > UI > Settings) to true.
Configure the parameter authentication_method (Configuration Menu > Leganto > General > Settings) to one of the following values:
-
CAS - If a login is required, use CAS. See CAS-Based Single Sign-On/Sign-Off.
-
SAML - If a login is required, use SAML. See SAML-Based Single Sign-On/Sign-Off.
-
LDAP - If a login is required, use LDAP. See Supporting LDAP.
-
LOCAL - If a login is required, the shareable ink opens the Leganto login screen.
-
Multiple - If a login is required, you can choose from multiple authentication methods. See Enabling Multiple Authentication Profiles.
Set the parameter create_task_for_published_list (Configuration Menu > Leganto > List Management > Settings) to true (default).
By default, Leganto updates a reading list and its citations' statuses from Being Prepared to Ready for Processing when a list is published.
Set the parameter send_list_on_publish (Configuration Menu > Leganto > List Management > Settings) to false. This also prevents Leganto from updating the reading list's date for review.
(Classic UI) The citation status only updates to Ready for Processing when the current status is set to Being Prepared. Reading lists that are already marked as Complete remain with a Complete status.
Enabling Multiple Authentication Profiles
- Verify that you have multiple authentication profiles set up by entering the Integration Profiles table under Leganto Configuration > LTI > Integration Profiles and searching for the authentication profiles. These may be some variation of Local, SAML and/or CAS (e.g. "saml"and "saml2").
Authentication Profiles
- In the authentication_method parameter in the Settings table under Leganto Configuration > General > Settings, enter a value of multiple and select Save.
Multiple authentication methods
- Once you have saved a value of multiple in the authentication_method parameter, the Multiple Login mapping table appears under Leganto Configuration > General. Enter the table and add a new row for each authentication profile that you wish to use. Ensure that the profile type and profile code matches that of the authentication profiles you wish to use, and that each profile code is unique.

Disabling Reading List Subjects
Configuring Reading List Templates (Classic UI Only)
An instructor can select a reading list template when creating a new reading list to pre-populate the list with sections.
Leganto comes with a single out-of-the-box template, Blank Template, which contains no sections. A librarian (not an instructor) can save any existing reading list to create a new reading list template.
Reading list templates are configured in Leganto:
- To create a template: while working with a list, in the reading list main menu select Save list structure as a template and confirm.
- To delete a template: while viewing a list of templates to attach to a new list, select the X in the template tile and confirm.
Configuring What Happens to Deleted Lists
Deleting Reading Lists and Citations
Citations that you delete from Alma or Leganto are automatically purged and cannot be restored. Courses that you delete from Alma are deleted along with any citations and associated reading lists, and are also automatically purged and cannot be restored.
When a citation is deleted, its usage analytics are retained even though the details belonging to that citation are deleted. For example, a reading list's total usage retains all analytics related to the deleted citation even though the citation has been deleted and cannot be viewed.
For more information, see Reading Lists (Reading List Deleted).

When either the mark_as_broken_email_notification parameter or the mark_as_broken_user_notification parameter is configured, an email is sent to that address each time a link or file is marked as broken. When multiple users report the same link as broken, a counter is added in the Alerts tab indicating how many users have marked the link as broken.
The Leganto Link Marked As Broken Letter (enabled by default) can be customized under General > Letters > Letter Configuration.
Notifying Users When Broken Links are Resolved
You can send notifications to users who have reported broken links when the library staff has resolved the issue. Upon selecting Remove to remove a broken link alert in Alma, the staff member is prompted to Confirm that they do want to remove the broken link alert. Additionally, the confirmation message now includes the option to send a notification to the user about the resolved link. To send the broken link notification, keep the Notify user checkbox checked and select the relevant notification template (configured from (Configuration > Leganto > Features > Broken Link Notification Template Name)) for the fixed link. The text from the template displays in the Note to user box, and can be customized if needed. There is one out-of-the-box template which reads "We have resolved the issue. You can now access the item using the link below."
If no template is enabled in Configuration > Leganto > Features > Broken Link Notification Template Name, the Leganto Marked As Broken Resolved Letter is sent without the Note to user text.
When the library staff member chooses Confirm, each user who reported the broken link receives the Leganto Marked As Broken Resolved Letter (Configuration > General > Letters > Letters Configuration). This letter is enabled by default.
The default text for the Note to user per template is customized in the Note to User (Configuration > Leganto > Features > Broken Link Notification) field. Library staff can override this text when sending the user notification.
Changes to the Note to user text in the alert are sent in the language in which they are inputted, not the user's configured language.
Configuring Whether Instructors Can Disable Availability Links
- Each electronic link
- The uploaded file
- The source URL, which is the citation's website
- Each digital representation
- All physical availability as a group; you cannot disable or enable specific holdings.
Configuring Availability for Citations Grouped in Leganto and Primo
If you are a Primo VE customer, you can force the physical availability request pane on the Citation page to look more closely at how it does in Primo VE.
You can also configure whether Primo availability restrictions appear in Leganto search results when searching for items to add as citations.
Two parameters control the availability in Leganto:
-
related_records: If this parameter is on, and a citation has two related records grouped together in Alma (i.e. one electronic and one physical), and you added availability for one of these to a citation in Leganto, the availability for both items displays in Leganto. The availability can also come from two or more different items if they are related in Alma.
-
primo_availability_for_citations: In Alma, you may have two items, one electronic and one physical, which are not grouped together but are grouped together in Primo (as DEDUP). If the primo_availability_for_citations_added_from_primo parameter is set to true, Leganto displays the merged availability of the two items. If you have a group in Primo and the second parameter is set to false, and you add one item (i.e. electronic) from the group from Primo, it is not grouped in Leganto.
- Select Enable silent login on the Primo VE User Authentication page; see Configuring the Login Links.
-
Set the parameter primove_getit to true (Configuration Menu > Leganto > Discovery > Primo Settings) to force the physical availability request pane on the Citation page to look more closely at how it does in Primo VE.
Configure the parameter display_primo_ve_login (Configuration > Leganto > Discovery > Primo Settings) to false (default true) to hide the Primo VE login banner so that only the Leganto sign in option is displayed.
Configuring Display Options
Configuring the Default Reading List Sort Order for Instructors and Students
- list_created_ascending – Earliest created on top.
- list_created_descending – Most recently created on top.
- list_updated – Most recently updated on top.
- list_name – A to Z (numbers first).
- list_status – In order by publication status (see Reading List and Citation Statuses): Draft > All Students Restricted > Course Students > Anyone Restricted > All Students Full > Anyone Full > Anyone Restricted, All Students Full.
- course_name – A to Z. This is the default for default_list_sort_students.
- course_code – A to Z.
- user (default_list_sort_instructors only) – Same as list_created_descending, but the user’s lists come first. This is the default for default_list_sort_instructors.
Set the parameter citation_export_style_order in the customer parameters table (Configuration Menu > Leganto > General > Settings) to list to export the citations in the same order as they appear in the list. Set the parameter to natural to export the citations in the order determined by the style definition (either citation title, citation author, or as otherwise defined for the style).
Configuring Citation Information Appearing in Citation Lists
You can configure how citations appear on a) the reading list page, b) My Collection/Favorites, and c) search results in Leganto in the Brief Citation Format mapping table (Configuration Menu > Leganto > UI > Brief Citation Format). For more information about mapping tables, see Mapping Tables.
You can configure one or two rows for each material type. Two rows for Book, Article, and Book Chapter material types are defined by default, as well as two rows for Default material type, which is used if the citation's material type is not defined. Note you can edit the entries for Default but you cannot remove them.
You can add, edit, and delete rows in the table, and you can disable or enable rows.
When adding or editing a row:
- In the Type column, select the material type.
- In the Row column, select First or Second for the row that you are configuring. Citation information is typically split between two rows. When a user views a reading list in compact format, only the first row appears.
- In the Fields Order column, enter the row format, using the following guidelines:
- Citation field. In addition to the fields in the Citation Field Code column of the Primo Mapping mapping table (see Field Mapping from Primo PNX to Leganto Citations), you can use the fields part, pmid, rlterms_callNumber, rlterms_chapter. rlterms_volumePartNumber, series_title_number, and source.
- The format is in JSON. Each row contains an array in square brackets [].
- Simple field format: {"n":"field_name"} is replaced by the contents of the field value, if it exists. Otherwise it is skipped. For example, {"n":"title"} might be replaced with History of the Middle Ages.
- Prefix/suffix format: {"n": "field_name", "p": "prefix", "s": "suffix"} is replaced by the contents of the field value, prefixed by the text string in prefix and suffixed by the text string in suffix, if the value exists. If prefix or suffix is a valid label name, the label's value is used (see configuring labels in Configuring Headings and Text in Leganto). For example, {"n": "issue", "p": "(", "s": ")"} might be replaced with (22). You can define a prefix, a suffix, or both.
- Field range format: {"fields": [{"n": "field_1"}, {"n": "field_2"}], "delimiter": "delimiter"} groups two fields together, separated by a delimiter. The delimiter is only used if both fields have value. For example, {"fields": [{"n": "start_page"}, {"n": "end_page"}], "delimiter": "-"} might be replaced with 1-10.
- The out-of-the-box values are:
- Book, first row: Just the book title.
[{"n":"title"}]
- Book, second row: Creator, Additional Person Name. Edition. Place of Publication. Publisher. Volume. Publication Date. Total Pages Total Pages.
[{"n":"creator"},{"n":"rlterms_additionalPersonName"},{"n":"rlterms_edition"},{"n":"rlterms_placeOfPublication"},{"n":"publisher"},{"n":"volume"},{"n":"date"},{"n":"rlterms_pages", "p":"citation.brief.totalPages "}]
- Article, first row: Just the article title.
[{"n":"title"}]
- Article, Second row: Creator. Additional Person Name. Journal Title. Edition. Volume(Issue). Date, Start Page-End Page.
[{"n":"creator"},{"n":"rlterms_additionalPersonName"},{"n":"rlterms_journalTitle"},{"n":"rlterms_edition"},{"fields": [{"n": "rlterms_volumePartNumber"}, {"n": "rlterms_issue","p": "(", "s": ")" }], "delimiter": ""},{"n":"date"},{"fields": [{"n": "start_page"}, {"n": "end_page"}], "delimiter": " - "}]
- Book Chapter, first row: Just the chapter title.
[{"n":"rlterms_chapter_title"}]
- Book Chapter, second row: Chapter Author. In Book Title. By Creator. Additional Person Name. Edited by Editor. Edition. Place of Publication. Publisher. Date. Start Page – End Page. Note that In, By, and Edited by are labels that you can configure.
[{"n":"rlterms_chapter_author"},{"n":"title", "p":"citation.brief.bookChapter.inBook "},{"n":"creator", "p":"citation.brief.bookChapter.byCreator "},{"n":"rlterms_additionalPersonName"},{"n":"rlterms_editor", "p":"citation.brief.bookChapter.editedBy "},{"n":"rlterms_edition"},{"n":"rlterms_placeOfPublication"},{"n":"publisher"},{"n":"date"},{"fields": [{"n": "start_page"}, {"n": "end_page"}], "delimiter": " - "}]
- Default, first row: Just the title.
[{"n":"title"}]
- Default, second row: Creator. Additional Person Name. Edition. Place of Publication. Publisher. Volume. Publication Date. Total Pages Total Pages. Note that Total Pages is a label.
[{"n":"creator"},{"n":"rlterms_additionalPersonName"},{"n":"rlterms_edition"},{"n":"rlterms_placeOfPublication"},{"n":"publisher"},{"n":"volume"},{"n":"date"},{"n":"rlterms_pages", "p":"citation.brief.totalPages "}]
- Book, first row: Just the book title.
- If a line containing an author field is too long, the author value is truncated and followed by ellipses (...). Note that any value (other than the title value) is truncated if the screen is too long to display the entire field.
- The creator field is not truncated when it is part of a prefix/suffix or field range format.
Preventing Users from Viewing Thumbnail Images
New for August! To prevent users from viewing thumbnail images, when the parameter show_image_as_thumbnail (Configuration > Leganto > Features > Leganto Features) is set to false (default), all thumbnails for manually added images are now hidden. When set to true, the default thumbnail image is displayed.
Changes to the parameter are not applied retroactively.
Configuring Quick Edit Options (New UI)
Quick edit can be customized to show/hide the Hide from students checkbox, Due date or Note for Students. The parameter quick_edit_options (Configuration > Leganto > Features > Leganto Features) can be left blank to hide all options, set to all to display all options, or hide/date/note to display the Hide from students checkbox, Due date or Note for Students. Regardless of the parameter configuration, all options remain visible in the Full display.
Showing Complete Status on Brief View (New UI)
Users can configure whether to show/hide the Complete status for items from the brief view. When the parameter complete_citation_status (Configuration > Leganto > Features > Leganto Features) is set (default blank), items with a status of Complete will have their status display in the brief view. The parameter can be configured for both librarians and instructors (all), just librarians (librarian), or just instructors (instructor). When left blank, the status is not displayed.

Enabling Instructor Information in Leganto
The instructors_in_leganto parameter in the Leganto Features mapping table (Configuration Menu > Leganto > Features > Leganto Features) allows you to display instructor information: a list of instructors in course tooltips and a pane beside a course-related reading list (Classic UI) or in the list information (New UI) containing the course's instructors. The following options are valid:
-
authenticated – Instructor names appear only for authenticated Leganto users.
-
true – Instructor names appear for all Leganto users.
-
false – Instructor names do not appear for Leganto users.
Instructor names can be turned on and off for each instructor; see Adding a Course.
Enabling Reading List / Citation Analytics Information (List Analysis)
You can configure whether to display Analytics information about reading lists and citations in Leganto. This feature is known as List Analysis. For more information on List Analysis, see Working With Reading Lists (Classic UI) and Viewing Student Usage (New UI).
Configure the parameter list_analysis in the Leganto Features table (Configuration Menu > Leganto > Features > Leganto Features). When set to all, Analytics is enabled for all users. When set to instructors, Analytics is enabled for instructors (and librarians) only. When left blank, Analytics is disabled for all users.
Configuring Digital Representation Display Options
The following parameters in the Leganto Customer Settings mapping table (Configuration Menu > Leganto > General > Settings) enables you to control how digital representations appear in Leganto:
-
display_digital_representations — When set to true, digital representations always appear in Leganto. When set to false (default), the action Manage Digital Representations appears for each digital citation on the Edit Reading List page. See Managing a Citation's Digital Representations.
-
display_inactive_digital_representations — When set to true (default), Leganto displays digital representations that are inactive in Alma. When set to false, Leganto only displays digital representations that are active in Alma
-
display_digital_in_collection — When set to true (default), Leganto allows students to copy digital representations to their collection. When set to false, Leganto only allows students to view the metadata.
Configuring PDFs to Open in a New Tab
You can configure PDFs to open in a new tab by default by setting the pdf_use_leganto_viewer (Configuration Menu > Leganto > Features > Leganto Features) parameter to true. When set to true, the PDF opens in a new tab and is downloadable. If the parameter is left blank or set to false, the PDF does not open in a new tab by default. If the parameter is set to readonly, then the PDF opens in a new tab by default but is not downloadable in the brief or full citation views.
Creating Private Annotations
When allow_citation_public_annotation (Configuration > Leganto > Features > Leganto Features) is set to true (default), a toggle appears on the Course Materials and you have the option to enable or disable Public Annotations on a per case basis. If Publication Annotations are enabled on the Course Materials, and a comment is added, the comment remains Private (default) and is only visible to the user who added the comment. If a comment is set to Public, the name of the person who wrote the comment, and the date and time of the comment are visible in the annotation menu. Public comments are searchable in the annotations menu. Each student's name appears in a different color above their comment, and instructor comments appear with an instructor icon next to their name. Instructors can delete public comments.
If allow_citation_public_annotation is set to false, the toggle is hidden on the Course Materials.
Private/public annotations are only copied when selecting Move item to the same list.
Below are the rules for when private/public annotations are not copied:
- Duplicating a list
- Selecting Copy to my collection
- (Classic UI only) Selecting rollover
- Copying a section/citation to another list
- Copying a section/citation to a current list
- Selecting Move item to a different list

Social Reading: Public Annotations on Course Materials
Students and instructors can share their annotations with each other. When allow_citation_public_annotation (Configuration > Leganto > Features > Leganto Features) is set to true (default), a toggle appears on citations with embedded PDFs, giving instructors the option to enable or disable Public Annotations on a per PDF/Citation basis.
If allow_citation_public_annotation is set to false, the Public/Private toggle is hidden on the PDF header.
If Public Annotations are enabled on the PDF header, the user can select whether their annotation should be public or private. The default is Private, in which case the annotation is only visible to the user who added the annotation.
If an annotation is Set to Public, the name of the person who wrote the comment, and the date and time of the comment are visible in the annotation menu. Public comments are searchable in the annotations menu. Each student's name appears in a different color above their comment, and instructor comments appear with an instructor icon next to their name. Instructors can Set as Private, Edit, or Delete public annotations.
Users can also change their own comments from Public to Private, or from Private to Public.
Additionally, Instructors can use the Edit Multiple Items tool in Leganto to enable or disable public annotations.
Annotations are stored as a separate layer on the file, visible only in Leganto and within the context of the reading list. They will not be added to printed or downloaded versions of the file, and private/public annotations are only copied when selecting Move item to the same list.
Below are the rules for when private/public annotations are not copied:
- Duplicating a list
- Selecting Copy to my collection
- (Classic UI only) Selecting rollover
- Copying a section/citation to another list
- Copying a section/citation to the current list
- Selecting Move item to a different list
For more information, watch Creating Private Annotations.

Configuring the Display of Other Formats and Editions of Citations
- This feature requires the field search:addsrcrecordid in Primo PNX. If you modify the normalization rules and have removed this field, the feature does not work.
- This feature requires you to set primo_default_search_scope to a Primo/Primo VE search scope. For more information on this parameter, see Configuring Search Repository. If primo_default_search_scope is not set, this feature does not work.
- no value - Do not display other formats or editions
- formats - Display electronic formats
- editions - Display other physical editions
- all - Display formats and editions
Add to Citation only merges the availability of different types such as P + E or P + D. Trying to merge two physical items, for example, results in a single physical availability.

If you do not enable any rows, the first row is the default selected option (Classic UI) or no default is selected (New UI). If you enable more than one row, one of these rows (essentially a random one) is the default selected option.
- The parameter citation_uploaded_file must have a value for this table to have any effect. See Configuring Default Statuses for Citations/Reading Lists. If no value is assigned to citation_uploaded_file, the options in this table do not appear in Leganto.
- Alma only assigns the status defined in citation_uploaded_file to a citation if (in Leganto) the instructor selects an option from this table with a value of Self Declared or Fair Use. If the instructor selects an option with any other value, the value in citation_uploaded_file is not assigned to the citation.
Configure the parameter instructor_remove_file (Configuration Menu > Leganto > Features > Leganto Features) to true (enable instructors to delete uploaded files) or false.
Configuring Sections Behavior
-
Whether sections are expanded or collapsed by default when opening the reading list.
