Useful Links are defined by Library Staff.

The LER Subgroup discussed options for what we might want to include as a Useful Link:

• • Harvard Library Course Reserves Service Page?

  • Liaison contact information?

  • Links to individual Schools' course reserves information resources?

This led to a discussion about what ought to be included on the Service Page if the majority of our "how-to" content moves to Ex-Libris-provided links.

LIBRARY REVIEW 

December 1, 2022

April 19, 2023

During our discussion of templates, we discussed how unwieldy large lists are. We discussed the possibility of having it be a default setting that all sections in the list are collapsed. This is a possibility, but requires further discussion–perhaps in consultation with Amy Deschenes. 

April 19, 2023: We decided to leave the sections as expanded.

We were curious if this could help with batch process of emailing the Reading List reminder to instructors.

April 19, 2023: Discovered that we are able to exclude courses marked as "no list expected" from reminder email list.

New parameter allows students to view uploaded files not in COMPLETE status (NERS 8009). When the parameter display_not_complete_files (Configuration > Leganto > List Management > Copyright Settings) is set to true (default: false), files become available to students once the copyright status is approved rather than needing to wait for the citation status to be Complete.

New message for students when “No list expected” in reading list settings (NERS 8017). Now, when a student accesses a course from an LMS link and the course has the checkbox No list expected checked, the student receives a message indicating that this course will not have a list, so the student knows not to expect a list at a later date. If the institution wants to customize the out-of-the-box message, change the Description for Code label error.1 (Configuration > Leganto > General > Labels - New UI).

The New UI for Leganto now provides easy and flexible templates for creating sections when building new reading lists. The new templates also give the library new options for adding, updating and removing or disabling templates. The new UI now includes four out-of-the box section templates (Configuration > Leganto > List Management > Templates). The Resources  and Weeks templates are enabled by default.

Leganto's existing functionality for Parent lists has been renamed Sample lists, to better reflect that the reading list can be used as a sample set of resources for other lists. Sample lists make it easy for instructors to re-use all or some of the resources from a list that has been marked as a Sample list.

The NERS development "Offer Citation Replacement for an Existing Citation," which was originally released in April 2023, is now available in the new UI. If replacement_suggestion_auto_replace (Configuration > Leganto > Features > Leganto Features) is set to false, when relevant, a banner is displayed indicating that there are new editions available for the list. Note: The banner is only displayed for Librarians, Leganto Course Operators, and List Owners.

It is now possible to set a default citation status according to the material type of the citation. This development gives libraries more control over which citations will be sent to the library for review, and which citations can complete automatically.  To configure, first add the code or codes of the material types that you would like to have set automatically to the citation_by_material_type (Configuration > Leganto > List Management > Course Reserves Automatic Statuses) parameter. Then configure the status you would like those materials types to have when they are added to Leganto lists in citation_by_material_type_status (Configuration > Leganto > List Management > Course Reserves Automatic Statuses). The list of material type codes is available in (Configuration > Fulfillment > Courses > Citation Material Type) 

When configured, archived lists can be included in the Demand in other lists calculation that enables library staff to see which reading lists or courses utilize the same resource when reviewing and processing citations. When the parameter demand_in_other_lists_include archived_lists (Configuration > Fulfillment > General > Other Settings) is set to true (default false), archived lists are included in the Demand in other lists calculation and are displayed in the This Record In Other Lists table. When set to false, citations associated with at least one archived list are excluded from the the Demand in other lists calculation

Leganto now displays the service unavailable message for electronic services. When Display service temporarily unavailable message is set to Yes (Electronic collection > Edit Service action > Electronic Service Editor Activation tab), you can now customize the Service unavailability display message that is displayed in Leganto when a link is unavailable (Idea Exchange)

The new List Usage Overview tab was added to the Leganto Usage Dashboard. It displays data about reading lists that were used by students. It displays three reports:

• Active reading lists by academic department
• Active reading lists by month
• Active reading lists by month – top 5 departments

New UI: 

• Accessibility fixes
• You can now use the order column to configure the order in which templates appear to end users (Configuration > Leganto > List Management > Templates)
• Out-of-the-box links to video help (Configuration > Leganto > Features > Help pages - New UI) are now available for institutions that have not yet added custom video links. Additionally, you can now use the order column to configure the order in which the help links appear to end users. 

Library staff can now receive email notifications when a user marks a link as broken. The library can configure that emails are sent to one or more Alma users and/or one or more email addresses. 

To configure that email notifications are sent to Alma users, configure the mark_as_broken_email_notification (Configuration > Leganto > Features > Leganto Features) parameter, using a comma to enter multiple entries. If the mark_as_broken_user_notification parameter is populated, a copy of the letter is also available in the user's Attachments list.

To configure that email notifications are sent to specific email addresses (such as a generic helpdesk), configure the mark_as_broken_email_notification parameter, using a comma to enter multiple entries.

It is possible to have email notifications sent to both specific users and specific email addresses. When either the mark_as_broken_email_notification parameter or the mark_as_broken_user_notification parameter is configured, an email is sent to that address each time a link or file is marked as broken. When multiple users report the same link as broken, a counter is added in the Alerts tab indicating how many users have marked the link as broken.

The Leganto Link Marked As Broken Letter (enabled by default) can be customized under General > Letters > Letter Configuration.

When configured, archived lists can be included in the Demand in other lists calculation that enables library staff to see which reading lists or courses utilize the same resource when reviewing and processing citations. When the parameter demand_in_other_lists_include archived_lists (Configuration > Fulfillment > General > Other Settings) is set to true (default false), archived lists are included in the Demand in other lists calculation and are displayed in the This Record In Other Lists table. When set to false, citations associated with at least one archived list are excluded from the Demand in other lists calculation.

Prevent instructors from creating lists: Some libraries create all reading lists on behalf of instructors. For institutions whose librarians are the sole list creators, it is now possible to configure Leganto to prevent instructors from creating new lists.

Analytics: The new Reading List Sections Without Citations report is now available. It displays the reading list sections without citations. You can use this list to remove these sections, if desired.

When more than one list is linked to the same course, each list is now published to Primo in a separate $w.

Analytics: The Detailed List Usage tab was added to the Leganto Usage DV dashboard. It provides a detailed list of student usage in Leganto. For more information on the Leganto Usage dashboard, see Leganto Usage Dashboard.
