For information on managing a reading lists's owners and collaborators in Leganto, see here.

You can configure that all instructors of the course are automatically owners of all of the course's associated reading lists. When this configuration is enabled, instructors can automatically be added as owners of the reading list, and the Update By field displays Ex Libris. When enabled, list instructors cannot be removed using the Owners tab in Alma or the Collaborators list in Leganto.

It is still possible to add additional owners/collaborators to the reading list.

In the customer parameters table (Configuration Menu > Leganto > List Management > Settings), configure the customer parameter auto_set_instructors_as_owners (true/false). When set to true (default), the On rollover set instructors as owners field does not appear in the course loading integration profile configuration page; see Configuring Course Loading.
