August 2024: The makers of Leganto reading software are rolling out a new user interface (UI). The new UI will improve the user experience for all users - students, academics and library staff. See the ExLibris news release for more details.
Sept 2023: The automatic process of loading instructor names into the reading list database is changing. Previously, only those people listed as 'lecturer' for a class in the Module Catalogue were added to a class reading list. The new process will pick up information for those with the 'Module Organiser' role in addition to 'lecturer' role. This is another step in ensuring instructors can access and edit reading lists for all classes they are associated with.
May 2023: As part of the Library's ongoing collection management, we have recently started to use the "suggestion" feature in the reading list software in a new way. Library staff will use this feature to alert reading list instructors to new editions acquired by the library. This will ensure that, where appropriate, the newest editions of books are reflected on reading lists.
