Exporting a reading list

You can export a reading list in various formats by selecting Export or Print in the reading list menu.                 Export list

You can export to a proprietary Leganto (reading list software) format (.lgn file) or to DOC (Microsoft Word), PDF, XLS (Microsoft Excel), RIS, or ENW (EndNote) formats.

If you export to Leganto format, you, or any user who has access to the exported list, can import the list as a reading list at a later time.

If you export to RIS format, you, or any user who has access to the exported list, can import the list to My Collection at a later time.

(a) Export the whole list using the export option from the List menu.

(b) Export a section of the reading list using the export option from the Section menu.
