Searching Lists

The lists that you own or collaborate on are listed under the My lists tab. My lists also include lists that you have accessed using the learning management system (LMS). The Lists catalog tab includes all lists you have permission to view.

Two Lists tabs.

Two tabs for navigating lists

You can execute basic and advanced searches from both tabs.

To execute a basic search:

From either the My lists or Lists catalog tab, select the Search option and enter the text you are searching for in the search bar and press Enter.

The list search bar
Leganto returns lists that include all search terms, matched across any combination of searchable fields. For example, a search for “Introduction history” may return a list with “introduction” in the title or description and “history” in the course name.

Searching in the Lists catalog works the same way as using the All search in Alma Reading Lists.
Select Sort to customize the search results list.

The Sort option
Select Filter to narrow your search results.

To execute an advanced search:

From either the My lists or Lists catalog tab, select the Search option and then select Advanced search underneath the search bar.

Enter your search criteria and select Search. Any list containing your multiple criteria search text appears within your search results.

Advanced search criteria
Like with basic searches, you can use Sort and Filter to customize your search results.

You can also search by course code or name on the All lists basic search, or select the other filters to limit the search to course code or name on the All lists basic or advanced search. For more information, see Searching Lists.

Filtering Lists By Course Dates

When enabled by your institution, the list view can be filtered by Past, Current, or Upcoming course dates.

Lists without courses are excluded from the Course dates filter.

Adding/Removing Lists from My Lists

The My Lists tab shows all lists you own or collaborate on, along with any lists you have manually added to this tab.

Lists that you own or collaborate on are added to My lists automatically when you create them or when you become their owner or collaborator.

To add lists to My lists:

View all lists or use the basic/advanced search to find a list.
Navigate to the list you want to add to My lists and select Add.

Add list

You can sort and filter lists using the filtering and sorting features at the top.

You can view information about these lists, but you cannot edit or delete them. You can also copy items from these lists to Favorites. For more information, see Adding Items to Favorites.

To remove lists from My lists:

From the My lists tab, navigate to the list you want to remove and select Remove from My lists.
