Agenda
- Pre-meeting work:
- Review the below enhancements and comment on the shared Word Document. (I will move these 5 to the top so they are more easily located within the larger list.)
- As you have time, look through the rest of the enhancements and mark those that you think are not necessary to review. (e.g., because they have no action associated with them.)
- During the meeting, we will discuss our findings and decide on next steps.
| Date of Release | Enhancement | Detail | Link to Release Notes | Link to Video Introduction |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Aug-20 | YouTube how-to videos for Leganto | A number of helpful how-to Leganto videos from YouTube have been added to the guided tours, under the new Getting Started Videos section of the guided tours. The videos are viewable in an embedded window in the Leganto screen. | Leganto Full August 2020 Release Notes.pdf | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iA-Q0UOiiQE&list=PLLHMGFok32k-gRYmdOLUoYboBm6HHQstB&index=50 |
| Sep-20 | Guided Tours | A new Guided Tours mapping table allows you to activate/deactivate individual guided tours. The table is found in Leganto Configuration > Features > Guided Tours. This table replaces the Guided Tours flag, which has been removed from the Leganto Features mapping table. For more information, see Configuring Other Leganto UI Elements. | Leganto Full September 2020 Release Notes.pdf | |
| Feb-21 | Help page customization | You can now define customized help pages for Leganto. To configure this, access the Help Pages mapping table at Configuration Menu > Leganto > Features > Help Pages.

| Jan-22 | Leganto: new onboarding experience | Leganto now offers a new series of onboarding screens for instructors, displayed when Instructors log in for the first time. The onboarding screens include GIFs that portray the general concepts underling Leganto and how it can be used, then point instructors to where they can go for more information when they need it. | Leganto_Full_January_2022_Release_Notes.pdf | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qngxG5kVLv4&list=PLLHMGFok32k-gRYmdOLUoYboBm6HHQstB&index=6 |
Meeting Notes

Notes
We discussed the following information sources that instructors have available to them via Leganto/Ex Libris:
- Video Tours/Guided Tours
- Help Pages
- Useful Links
- Onboarding Screens
Video Tours/Guided Tours
- Both Video Tours and Guided Tours are now turned on in the Sandbox.
- They may be accessed by clicking on the ? icon in the header of a Reading List.
- The LER Subgroup will review each video and each guide before the next synchronous meeting.
- J will create testing parameters and post these to the wiki.
Help Pages
- Help Pages are accessed via the "Help" link in the below menu.
- While these help pages are customizable, the LER Subgroup decided to keep them as they are for now.
Useful Links
- Useful Links are accessed via the Link icon in the header.
- 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?
- We determined it would be best to start with just the Library Course Reserves Service Page.
- 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.
Onboarding Screens
- Onboarding Screens are seen by instructors the first time that they access Leganto. They are turned on by default.
- You may watch a video of what these look like here:
