- Search for Titles by Call Number Range (from 050, 060, 082, 090 of the BIB RECORD, not our holding record). The range operators <, >, <=, >= were added to Advanced search when searching for Titles. The operators work for LCC, NLM, DDC, Other.
You can now use the Create Itemized Set job to identify titles in our collections–as well as those that are not–to help facilitate purchasing decisions. For example, the job report for a list of ISBNs allows you to download a list of identifiers added to the set (titles owned), along with a list of non-matched identifiers (title titles not in the collection). See the Ex Libris documentation for additional details.

The labels below (found in Leganto > Configuration > General > Labels) have had their out-of-the-box values changed. If you have never changed the value of one of these labels, the value will be updated to the new value. If you have already changed a value for one of these labels, it will not be updated. You can change the value of any updated label after the update.
When there is a newer version of a reading list, a message will appear notifying you of this. This may happen when a list was rolled over or copied and a newer version exists.

- The Lists view now displays the instructor(s) for the list's course. If a reading list has one instructor, that instructor's name appears. If there are multiple instructors for the course, the number of instructors appears. For lists with multiple instructors, hovering over the number of instructors displays a tooltip with the names of the instructors.
- You can now move a citation to a different list or section within a list, using the new Move Citation option in the citation options menu. In order for this feature to be available, you must enable it in the Citation Menu table found in Leganto Configuration > UI.

You can now lock a section for editing, using the new Lock option in the section menu. For more information on working with sections, see Working With Sections. If you click the Lock option, you will receive a notification that a locked section cannot be changed until it has been unlocked again by the owner who locked it. For this feature to be available, you must enable it in the Section Menu table found in Leganto Configuration > UI. For more information on configuring section menu options, see Configuring Other Leganto UI Elements.
The Leganto iFrame now includes an expand button to open Leganto in a new tab.
Reading lists in the Recently Deleted lists group will now be automatically removed from the system once they have spent more than 30 consecutive days in the deleted lists group. After 30 days, they will be permanently purged from the system. In addition, for each reading list in the Recently Deleted lists group, an indicator now shows you how many days are left before the list is purged.
