Main Features

New Onboarding Experience

January 2022 Leganto

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. There is minimal text per screen, which can be customized. The new screens explain the following:

• Leganto is a tool that can be used to gather resources from different sources and organize them
• Resources can be added from the entire library collection
• Resources can be added from the web, using CiteIt!
• Social Reading
• Where to go when you need help
• Installing CiteIt!

The new onboarding screen is enabled by default (parameter: welcome_screen_instructors in Configuration > Leganto > Features > Leganto Features).

Note

The welcome screen is disabled for instructors who have already seen and used Leganto before.

The option to display Help (parameter welcome_screen_help Configuration > Leganto > Features > Leganto Features) for students when they first log in remains unchanged.

For more information, see Configuring Leganto UI Elements.

Set Section View for a Reading List

January 2022 Leganto

NERS Enhancement (ID #7189)

Currently, institutions can use the parameter sections_collapsed (Configuration > Leganto > UI > Settings) to set the default for how a list appears (collapsed or expanded). To enable instructors to override this default and set their own default view, set the parameter set_section_view (Configuration > Leganto > UI > List Menu) to Yes. By default, the setting is No. When enabled, instructors can use the action Set Section Collapsed/Expanded to override the institution’s default setting.

For more information, see Collapsing (Hiding) or Expanding a Section.

Additional Enhancements

If an instructor is not assigned to any courses, when selecting Manage course association or Roll Over list, a message now explains why the instructor cannot perform the action. The messages can be customized
(Configuration > Leganto > General > Labels > list.addCourse.course.noAssociatedCourse and list.rollover.noCourses).

For clarity, the Edit item and Cite It! labels Source and Add Source were changed to URL (citation.field.source) and Add URL (citation.add.src.btn). You can customize both labels in Configuration > Leganto > General > Labels.

Note
This change only applies to customers who have not previously customized the labels.

• LexisNexis store
• Cambridge

For more information, see Adding a Citation from a Website (Using_Cite It!).

January 2022 Leganto

Previously, the full citation view included an indication that an item is also on another reading list. To streamline the instructor and student experience and reduce confusion we are removing this indication.
The section was misleading to instructors and students because it only displays other reading lists on the user’s “Lists” page and only citations which were linked to items in the Alma repository. As a result, it often displayed only the current reading list. Hence, it is not helpful to know that the item was on the reading list you are currently viewing, and the lack of other lists indicates that the item was not used on any other reading lists at your institution, which may not be true.

January 2022 Leganto

The flag disable_resolving_for_no_fulltext_citations (Configuration Menu > Leganto > List Management > Settings) was removed because it is no longer in use.

January 2022 Leganto SF: 05320505

It is now possible to drag items to sections that are collapsed.
