Main Features

Restore Deleted Citations from Recycle Bin

March 2025 Leganto CERV Enhancement (ID #9049) URM-227485

Leganto now includes a recycle bin for instructors and library staff to restore deleted items. The recycle bin is available for items deleted manually from Leganto or Alma, items deleted in bulk in Leganto, and items deleted when a section is deleted in Leganto.

The recycle bin is only visible when it contains items.

If a list is deleted the items are not added to the recycle bin. If an item is deleted by an Alma job, it is not added to the recycle bin.

The recycle bin is available at the list level in Leganto, and contains only items deleted from that list. A counter indicates how many items the recycle bin contains. When enabled, users receive a notification informing them that an item was deleted.

Items in the recycle bin are considered deleted; therefore, these items are not included when searching or filtering citations.

The Deleted items indicator.

Deleted items remain in the recycle bin for up to 30 days. Librarians, instructors, list owners, and Leganto course operators can view the recycle bin and restore deleted items.

The deleted items pane.

If the item is added back to the list, the Date modified for restored items is the date the item was restored.

When restoring a deleted item with an In process copyright status, the copyright record is not restored. When restoring a deleted item with an Approved copyright status, the copyright end date is updated to the deleted date. Restoring deleted items with a DCS copyright or a Bolk clearance are managed similarly to when an item is deleted.

All other information about the citation, including tags, notes for students, due dates, and usage, are preserved.

Currently, Leganto analytics reports contain deleted items and the List analysis in Leganto contains deleted items. The ability to filter deleted items in analytics will be available in a future release, and the List analysis in Leganto will exclude deleted items.

Choose Which Citation Tags to Copy on Rollover in Leganto (CERV Part 2)

March 2025 Leganto CERV Enhancement (ID #7180)

It is now possible to configure which tags are copied to the new list when duplicating a list in Leganto. When duplicating a list, citation tags are copied to the duplicated list based on the Instructor-Library tags,Library-Internal tags, and Public tags(Configuration > Leganto > List Management > Instructor Rollover Operations) configurations. The tag configuration options are all(copy), blank (reset), or multiple code values separated by a comma. If the Instructor-Library tags,Library-Internal tags, or Public tags are configured with tag codes, only the configured tags are copied to the duplicated list.

If you select that only some of a certain tag type are copied, we recommend disabling that tag type from the instructor-facing display. Instructors may not understand why they selected to copy tags, and only some were selected. Alternatively, you could change the label to indicate which tags are copied.

For more information, see Duplicating a List.

Link or Relink Citation to Library Resource in Leganto UI (Manual Locate in Leganto)

March 2025 Leganto URM-237310

Leganto now provides a way for library staff to link a citation to a specific record in the library collection. To enable library staff to link a citation to a library record, the Manage link to library action is now available when logged into Leganto as a library staff member. When selecting Manage link to library, the search window opens. The search performed is according to the original item's title and author. The user can change the search as needed. When hovering over an item from the search results, the Link action and More details button are displayed. Library staff can link or re-link the original citation to the library record. The citation metadata is updated depending on the on_locate(Configuration > Fulfillment > General > Other Settings) configuration, and the citation inventory presents the availability of the selected record.

The Manage link tolibrary action is not displayed when a list is locked.
