Library Reserves

Two Ex Libris systems are used to manage Course Reserves for our users.   Alma stores information about courses, instructional staff associated with a course, reading lists, and citation data.   A separate tool vended by Ex Libris, Leganto, allows instructional staff to create or reuse reading lists and citations from within the Canvas Course.  For Fall 2018, Leganto will be available to courses in the following schools:

• Faculty of Arts and Science/COLGSAS
• Harvard Design School
• Harvard Divinity School
• Harvard Graduate School of Education
• Harvard Law School
• Harvard School of Public Health

Leganto is under review for these units:

• Harvard Kennedy School

Additional discussion is needed in Fall 2018 to on board courses in locally maintained canvas instances:

• Harvard Business School
• Harvard Medical School

Note that schools not using Leganto can manage course reserves in Alma.
