Main Features
Leganto's New User Experience is Now Available to All Customers
All customers can now begin testing and using the new user experience. The new user experience represents over two years of research and over a year of development, and we cannot wait for you to try it out. You can test the new UI while still using the classic UI.
See our Getting Started Guide for more information about accessing and beginning to use the new user experience.
When you are ready to switch completely to the new user experience, change the parameter leganto_new_ui (Configuration > Leganto > General Settings > Settings) to true. Once set to true, all links to Leganto, including LTI links and shareable links, point to the new UI for all users.
We also have a Frequently Asked Questions page and a Known Issues page, which you can use to check the status of upcoming developments.
Many thanks to our customer community for supporting us through this project, and a very special thanks to our 15 early adopters for spending the past three months working with the new UI and sharing their feedback with us.
We want to highlight a few new features that were added to the new UI.
Formatting Notes for Students
Easily add bold, italic, and, underlined formatting and links when adding notes for students (formerly public notes).
This feature is only available on the new UI.
Favorites
My Collection has been renamed to Favorites. You can now view the availability information from the brief view of the Favorites screen. You can add Favorites to lists from the Favorites menu and use the Quick Cite feature. You can also export items to a list from the Bulk actions menu.
This feature is only available on the new UI.
Analytics
You can now export Analytics reports from Leganto. Additionally, analytics reports now include the number of loans for physical items.
This feature is only available on the new UI.
Copyrights
You can now configure (Configuration > Leganto > List Management > File Upload Copyright Options) that instructors must check a File Upload Copyright option when uploading a file. To present the copyright options without a pre-selected default, configure the File Upload Copyright options such that none of the options are enabled.
This feature is only available on the new UI.
Filter By Status
You can now filter reading lists by item status.
This feature is only available on the new UI.
Citation ID
When opening an item's full details, the citation ID is added to the URL. When closing the item, the URL reverts back to the list ID.
UK Digital Content Store (DCS) Support for Lists Linked to Multiple Courses
The integration between Leganto and the UK CLA Digital Content Store (DCS) now supports lists linked to multiple courses. Items submitted to the DCS that are associated with multiple courses are sent to the DCS as individual requests, one for each course. The requests are associated if a new course is associated with an existing request. When an item is linked to multiple courses, the DCS Status in Alma remains Request in progress until Alma receives a collective approval/rejection for all requests submitted for the item. The synchronization job between the DCS and Alma can be scheduled to run up to four times a day to update DCS request statuses. The DCS request statuses are updated using the current synchronization job between the DCS and Alma, which can be scheduled to run.
Currently, when an item is associated with one course, the Alma citation menu presents the Associate to DCS action. This action searches the DCS for the same course and returns all the scans that exist for the course. You can then find the scan you want to match. The Associate to DCS action is not available from the Alma citation menu when an item is associated with more than one course. You can submit a DCS request from Alma from the Copyright tab by filling in the copyright information or by creating a digitization request if you also need an internal request.
Currently, when a list is associated with one or more courses and one of the citations has a DCS request, users cannot add/remove the course. The option to add/remove a course will be available in a future release.
If there is a DCS failure when extracting a citation, the Citation Alerts tab contains a Details column that includes the course code.
If multiple notes are received for the request, the value assigned to the Note field is multiple. You may need to check the DCS for more information.
For more information, see Integrating with the UKs Digital Content Store (DCS).
Search for Citations Within a Reading List
- Keyword (default selection) — When selected, this option searches the following citations' metadata fields for a match:
- Additional Person Name, Author, Book Author, Book Title, Chapter Author
- Chapter Title, Citation ID, DOI, Edition, Editor
- ISBN, ISSN, Issue, Journal Title, LCCN
- MMS ID, OCLC Number, Pages, Place of Publication, Publication Date
- Publisher, Resource Note, Source, Title, and Volume
-
Keyword searches for citations do not support the use of Boolean operators (such as AND or OR), and if these operators are specified, they are treated as keywords.
-
When special characters (such as hyphen, dash, slash, and so forth) are specified as search terms, the search will return results that both include and exclude the special characters.
- Citation ID
- Creator — The citation author's name. Note: Additional person names are not included in the search.
- ISBN
- ISSN
- MMS Id
- Title — Citation title
For more information, see Managing Reading Lists.
Filter Approval Requests by Date Range
For more information, see Digitization Approval Requests.
Option to Connect Citations to Library Resources by Title and Author Combination
Leganto now provides more flexibility for matching citations to library inventory using the Resource Locate process. The Resource Locate process runs automatically as citations are added to reading lists, manually on demand, or in bulk using a job. It is now possible to specify that a combination of both the title and author fields be used to identify matching resources in the library collection. The library can now configure, for example, that Leganto checks for a match using first ISBN/ISSN, and if a match is not found, check for a match using title AND author. Both the title and author must match the repository record for the citation to link to the bibliographic record.
To configure, enable the new parameter Title_Author in the Locate Citation by Fields table (Configuration > Fulfillment > Courses > Locate Citation by Fields). When the parameter resource_locate_mode (Configuration > Fulfillment > General > Other Settings) is set to OR, Leganto checks against all enabled fields in the order configured in the table.
For more information, see Match by Fields.
Enrich Multiple Citations Using DOI
Leganto can now automatically enrich citations containing a DOI with additional metadata in bulk by checking Enrich by DOI in the Reading List Citation Update Task job (Admin > Manage Jobs and Sets > Run a Job). The default setting for this checkbox is unchecked.
For more information, see Enriching Citation Metadata.
Find Matching Bibliographic Records for Multiple Citations - Run Resource Locate on Citation Sets
It is now possible to locate a set of citations by using the new Reading List Citation Process and Enrich job (Admin > Manage Jobs and Sets > Run a Job). Perform locate on type is not included in this new version of the Process and Enrich Citations job (Fulfillment > Advanced Tools - Reading Lists > Process and Enrich Citations). When Resource locate repository is checked (this checkbox is unchecked by default), you can choose to either manually handle citations when multiple matches are found or use the first matching resource for a specific inventory type. When Use first matching resource of a specific inventory type, if exists (otherwise handle manually) is selected, drop-down lists for Physical, Electronic, and Digital are displayed. The default priority selections for these drop-down lists are set according to your priority settings in resource_locate_multiple_matches_priority (Configuration Menu > Fulfillment > General > Other Settings).
The Process and Enrich Citations job (Fulfillment > Advanced Tools - Reading Lists > Process and Enrich Citations) is still available for use.
You can use the Reading List Citation Process and Enrich job to perform a resource locate on a specific set by selecting a specific facet, such as the new Not located facet, which returns all citations that do not have a Resource located status.
Easily Identify Citations that are Not Located
The Resource Locate facet (Fulfillment > Course Reserves > Citations) now includes a Not Located facet which accounts for all resources with the statuses Multiple Resources Located, Locate Not Run, No Resources Located, Locate Failed, and Information Incomplete.
For more information, see Reading List Citation Process and Enrich and Manual Jobs on Defined Sets.
Control When a Citation is Hidden from Students
It is now possible to hide citations with specific citation statuses from students. When the parameter hide_uncompleted_citations (Configuration > Leganto > Features > Leganto Features) is set to a specific status or multiple statuses divided by comma BeingPrepared, Complete, Declined, Inactive, InProcess, ReadyForProcessing, or a code from the Additional Reading List Citation Statuses code table, citations with those specified statuses are hidden from students. True/false values are still supported. When the parameter value is set to true, citations that do not have a status of Complete are hidden. When the parameter value is set to false, the citation appears regardless of its status.
For more information, see Hiding Incomplete Citations from Students.
NERS: Offer Citation Replacement for an Existing Citation
NERS Enhancement (ID #7747)Leganto now supports replacing citations in bulk. For example, this feature can be used to replace citations with newer editions or to replace physical citations with electronic citations. The library can configure whether citations are replaced immediately, or whether the replacement appears to instructors as a suggestion.
Citations with a Copyright Status of Approved cannot be replaced.
If your institution would like to have replacements presented to instructors as suggestions, set the parameter replacement_suggestion_auto_replace (Configuration > Leganto > Features > Leganto Features) to false. This is the default.
From the Edit Citation screen, select the citation or citations to be replaced. Then choose Suggest Replacement.
Library staff are directed to the Repository Search, where they can search for and select the new item that they want to use as the replacement.
After selecting Confirm, suggestions are added to each of the citations in Leganto. Additionally, a system tag New Edition Available is added to each citation.
Instructors receive an alert letting them know about new suggestions. They can select the alert to filter the list to see items with new edition suggestions.
Selecting the item opens the full view, which includes the details of the suggested replacement. Instructors can choose to replace the item, which re-links the citation to the new MMS ID, updating the inventory and the citation metadata. Other existing information about the citation, including usage information, tags, and notes, is preserved. Alternatively, the instructor can choose to decline the suggestion, which removes the information about the new edition and the tag.
Alternatively, if your institution would like to have citations replaced immediately, rather than sent to instructors for approval, set the parameter replacement_suggestion_auto_replace (Configuration > Leganto > Features > Leganto Features) to true. Once library staff has selected a new item to use as a replacement, they are presented with a confirmation screen.
After selecting Confirm, all the citations which were selected for replacement are linked with the MMS ID of the item chosen as the replacement item. The citation metadata and inventory update, but tags, notes, and usage information are preserved.
Automatically Publish Lists to Students Without Library Review
It is now possible to have new reading lists published automatically, immediately after they are created, eliminating the need to publish reading lists individually and ensuring that all reading lists are visible to students. This feature is disabled by default.
To enable, change the parameter auto_publish_on_create (Configuration > Leganto > List Management > Publishing) to Yes. When enabled, all new reading lists created in Leganto are immediately published according to the publish_default_mode on the Leganto Publishing Configuration page.
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.
For more information, see Configuring Reading List Publication Options.
Customize Copyright Approval and Reject Reasons
You can now customize the copyright approval and reject reasons (Fulfillment > Resource Requests > Approval Requests List).
|
Copyright approval reasons list
|
Copyright rejection reasons list
|
You can customize the approval and reject reasons using the Configuration > Fulfillment > Copyright Management > Copyright approval reasons and Configuration > Fulfillment Copyright Management > Copyright reject reasons tables. You can edit any of the existing reasons or use the Add Row button to add new reasons. The reasons can now be translated to the Alma display language.
For more information, see Customizing Copyright Approval and Reject Reasons.
DOI Enrichment of Citation Metadata
Leganto can now automatically enrich citations containing a DOI with additional metadata. For example, a user can now only enter a DOI in the blank form and the citation metadata is enriched with additional information from CrossRef.
For institutions whose AUGMENTATION profile (Configuration > General > External Systems > Integration Profiles) is configured to work with CrossRef, when a citation containing a DOI is added, any missing metadata is automatically added to the citation.
In a future release, you will be able to perform a bulk DOI enrichment using a job.
For more information, see Enriching Citation Metadata.
Share a Link to a Predefined Find Lists Search
Leganto now enables you to share sharable links for predefined searches from the Find Lists form. Select the copy icon next to the Find Lists header to generate a sharable link to a predefined search.
The following fields are supported for predefined searches:
| course_status | "all", "active" or "inactive" |
| faculty | "" |
| publication | "all", "published", or "draft" |
| subject | "" |
| course_code | "" |
| course_instructors | "" |
| course_title | "" |
| description | "" |
| list_title | "" |
| term | "" |
| year | "" |
The only fields that appear for a predefined search are fields that the user has permission to view.
Additionally, you can manually generate or edit a URL. Append a question mark (?) to your URL, then specify which fields to search for and their search criteria. For example, Find_lists_ sharable_link?list_title=art searches for lists with the word art in the List Title.
You can search for multiple fields at once by adding an ampersand (&) between each field. For example, Find_lists_ sharable_link?list_title=art&year=2022 searches for lists with the word art in the List Title, published in the Year 2022.
For more information, see Sharing a Link to a Predefined Find Lists Search.
For CLA Users (UK): Course Synchronization Between Leganto and the DCS
Librarians who have courses in the DCS that do not match the Leganto courses, can now override the course in the DCS with information from Leganto. When the integration profile Digital content store is active, the option to update DCS courses is now available from the Course Bulk Update job (Admin > Manage Jobs and Sets > Run a Job). When Update course in DCS is checked in the Course Bulk Update job, librarians can now update their DCS courses in bulk to match their Alma courses.
The following parameters are all automatically updated in the DCS course based on the values in Alma:
- Course name
- Number of weeks
- Number of participants
- Processing department
- Instructor name
- Instructor email
- Course status
- Active - sets the DCS course to Active
- Archived - sets the DCS course to Archived
- Inactive - sets the DCS course to Archived
The job event now includes a Failed to update DCS event.
For more information, see Course Synchronization Between Leganto and the DCS.
Search for Reading List by List ID
Idea Exchange URM-135743You can now search Reading lists by List ID in Alma.
List ID searches are not currently included in All searches. This option will be available in a later release.
For more information, see Reading List Search Fields.
Customize UNIMARC Mapping for Leganto Fields
You can now customize the UNIMARC BIB mapping for Leganto fields.
To customize the mapping, from the Bibliographic Mapping Rules page (Configuration Menu > Fulfillment > Courses > Bibliographic Mapping Rules) customize the test rule. You can then test the Bibliographic Mapping Rule on the Test BIB to Citation Normalization page (Configuration Menu > Fulfillment > Courses > Test BIB to Citation Normalization). When you are done, copy your changes to the production rule on the Bibliographic Mapping Rules page (and optionally test them again on the Testing BIB to Citation Normalization screen).
As part of this enhancement, some changes were made to the UNIMARC mapping to conform to the IFLA reference standards.
For more information, see Mapping Bibliographic Record Fields to Citation Fields.
NERS: Indication for Courses that Deliberately Have No Reading List
NERS Enhancement (ID #7744)Reading lists can still be added to courses with the No list expected checkbox checked. Additionally, existing lists are not removed when the No list expected checkbox is checked.
In the Courses table (Fulfillment > Course Reserves > Courses), the No list expected column indicates which courses have the No list expected checkbox checked.
The No list expected column is hidden by default. To show the No list expected column, select the column from the Manage column display list.
If the librarian selects the Leganto create list - reminder email action for a course that has the No list expected checkbox checked, the librarian can still send the reminder email, but an alert appears indicating that This course is marked as 'No list expected'.
When duplicating a course that has the No list expected checkbox checked, the No list expected checkbox is checked on the duplicated course.
When rolling over a course that has the No list expected checkbox checked, the No list expected checkbox is checked on the rolled over course.
The Course Bulk Update job (Admin > Manage Jobs and Sets > Run a Job) now includes the condition Excluded courses marked as 'No list expected' when the Leganto create list - reminder email checkbox is checked. This enables you to not send the Leganto create list reminder email to instructors whose courses intentionally do not include reading lists when the Course Bulk Update job runs.
The No list expected indication will be added to Analytics in the February release.
For more information, see Working with Courses
