Additional clauses for digitization profile rules were added to enhance Alma's ability to automatically approve copyright clearance requests. This reduces the need for librarian involvement in the copyright clearance process. For more information on digitization profile rules, see Configuring Digitization Profile Rules.

For more information about this feature, see Enhanced Automatic Copyright Approval Rules in the November 2016 Fulfillment Enhancements.

Instructors can now initiate library physical digitization requests for course materials associated with one of their courses. This works similarly to to the way that librarians initiate these requests in Alma. This feature is enabled for a citation when all of the following are true (parameters are located in Fulfillment > Copyright Management >  Leganto Copyright Settings):

• instructor_digitization_request parameter is set to one of the following:
  • true - Enable for all citations
  • course_association - Enable for citations in reading lists that have a course association
• assign_to parameter is set. By default, the requester of the request is the staff member assigned to the reading list. If there is no staff member assigned to the reading list, the user defined in this parameter is the requester.
• managing_department parameter is set to the code of the digitization department that handles the request.
• The citation is a physical title with at least one item.
• The citation does not already have an existing library physical digitization request.

When enabled, a link to place a request appears on the citation page in Leganto.

1. Open a citation in Leganto.
2. If the citation is available for digitization (see above), click Digitization Request. Depending on the width of the page displayed in your browser, the button appears either at the right side or the bottom of the citation page.
   
   Digitization Request Button
   The Ask Library for Digital Copies dialog box appears.
   
   Ask Library for Digital Copies Dialog Box
   Information about the course and the citation appears at the top of the dialog box. In addition, a header with additional information for the instructor appears.
   A librarian can configure this header by configuring digitization_request_header in the Copyright Declaration Texts code table (Leganto Configuration > List Management > Declaration Texts).
3. Enter the date range for when the digital copies will be available to students.
   A librarian can make these fields mandatory by setting the copyright management parameter require_date_range to true (Leganto Configuration > List Management > Copyright Management).
4. Tick the Includes image(s) checkbox if the digitization request includes images.
5. Enter the chapter number(s) and up to two page ranges to digitize. If you leave the chapter numbers and page range blank, the request will be for the entire citation.
6. Enter up to three notes with additional instructions for the library.
7. When you are done, click Submit to submit the request.

You can now view the request by clicking View Request.

Once the request is approved, you cannot change the request from Leganto, and you cannot make another request on the same citation. To change the request, contact a librarian for assistance or remove the citation and create another.

To cancel the request (while it is active before it is approved), click Cancel Request.

An instructor can set visibility restrictions for the digital materials connected to a citation. In this case, before and after the configured time period, the link to the materials does not appear in the citation. The instructor can also set the visibility for the entire citation. In this case, the citation does not appear in the reading list.

If a citation is attached to an approved copyright record, the period of the copyright record overrides any values manually set by the instructor; these values are grayed out and inactive in the Leganto UI. In this case, citations can be downloaded only during the period of time that they are cleared for copyright, plus a grace period after the copyright clearance period ends. A librarian can set the grace period using the grace_period_days parameter (Fulfillment > Fulfillment Configuration > Configuration Menu > Leganto > Copyright Management).

When a student tries to access materials during a valid period, the student first sees a copyright notification, depending on the configuration of the copyright_declaration_notice parameter (true or false) (Fulfillment > Fulfillment Configuration > Configuration Menu > Leganto > Copyright Management).

This notice is defined using the new copyright declaration LegantoDigitizationRequestCopyrightDeclaration.html, which was added to the Copyright Declaration Configuration Files table. For more information on copyright declarations, see Configuring Copyright Declarations.

Additional information is now returned in the brief display of items in the search results. The new information includes the publication date and the ISSN/ISBN. For articles, the information also includes journal title, volume, issue, and page range. For a book, the information includes the edition.

You can now see upcoming due dates for citations in the left/bottom panel.

This panel appears only if there are citations with upcoming due dates. When viewing all reading lists, due dates from all citations appear in the panel. When viewing a specific reading list, only dues dates for the reading list's citations appear in the panel.

You can now integrate your Zotero account directly into Leganto, enabling you to drag and drop items from Zotero as citations in your Leganto reading lists.

In your Leganto user settings, enter your Zotero user ID (not your username) and Zotero API key. You may optionally enter a specific collection ID. Click the here > link to view instructions on how to locate these values.

1. While viewing a reading list, click Open Collection. The collection pane opens on the right. Select the Zotero tab.

2. Drag and drop items from your Zotero collection to your reading list.
