Enhancements
Acquisitions / Finance

Analytics & Reporting
Enhancements
Resolved
Course Reserves/Leganto
Enhancements
- Institutions can now control which list publishing options to display to instructors when sending a list to the library for review. The parameter show_publishing_options (Configuration > Leganto > List Management > Publishing) can be set to:
- All, Anyone — All students at the institution and Anyone
- All, Registered — All students at the institution and Course students
- Registered, All, Anyone — Course students, All students at the institution, and Anyone
- Registered, Anyone — Course students and Anyone
This parameter is only relevant when auto_publish_default_mode is set to No.The default setting when auto_publish_default_mode is set to No is Registered, All, Anyone. The default selected setting for this parameter is based on the setting in the publish_default_mode parameter. For more information, see Configuring Reading List Publication Options.
- When configured (Configuration > Leganto > List Management > Item Request Questions and Item Request Answers), the new UI now triggers Leganto Questions when adding items using Cite It! For more information, see Configuring Leganto Questions.
- When using the link selection or editor button, courses without lists now display a message indicating that This course doesn't have a list, and presents the option to Create a new list or link an existing list to this course. A similar workflow was previously available in the classic UI and is now also available in the new UI.
- Based on customer feedback, when viewing an unpublished list as a student, the banner now indicates that Your list isn't published and isn't visible to students.
- Based on customer feedback, when the checkbox is configured (Configuration > Leganto > Discovery > Primo Integration > primo_include_non_fullltext_option) to be displayed, selecting the Include records without full-text access checkbox automatically re-runs the search.
- Based on customer feedback, when editing an item and then saving your changes, the item full details now remains open.
Resolved
- In some cases, moving an item did not work as expected. This was fixed.
- When two banners were displayed, the last citation was cut off. This was fixed.
E-Resources
Resolved
- Extended Export was only exporting one service. This has been fixed.
- When the input file for the portfolio loader was very large, not all portfolios were activated. This was fixed.
- The portfolio loader did not handle the URL type. This was fixed, and now when populating URL or PARSER_PARAMETERS, the portfolio loader selects the URL type based on the column populated with a non-empty value.
- The portfolio loader previously overwrote the parser program with Bulk::Bulk when the URL column was populated in the input file, instead of using the service's existing parser. This was fixed, and now the parser program will no longer be overridden and will correctly use the services designated parser.
- Add Titles from the Manage Collection UI: It was not possible to add titles that were assigned already to a collection in the hierarchy. This was fixed.
