We recommend checking our library stock first when adding content to your reading list. This first video demonstrates adding content by searching the library collections without leaving Leganto (using data from Library Search)
This second video demonstrates how to use the Cite It! Bookmarklet to add items to your reading list whilst using Library Search
The easiest way to add items not found in Library Search is to use the Cite It! bookmarklet. Cite It! allows you to add details of books, journal articles and websites to Leganto.
More information about installing and using this tool can be found in the Cite It! section of this guide:
If you expecting students to read a specific chapter, please add an item as a book chapter. The easiest way is to search for the whole book entry via the Library search (if already in stock) or via the Cite It tool (if not in stock). You can then edit the book entry to a book chapter and add the extra detail, including chapter or page numbers.
The Library will ensure there is either an ebook available or an accessible PDF copy attached to the reading list entry for students to read.
You can add both a book chapter and the whole book to a reading list.
Any notes you add to an item are instructions for the students not the Library staff, e.g. Chapter 4 provides further background to the history of the Kyoto Protocol. The Library would not digitise Chapter 4 unless you added it as a book chapter entry on the reading list.
You can't add items to multiple lists at the same time. Items are added to individual lists so you will need to work on each reading list separately to make updates.
However you can use the Collection feature in Leganto to store items for future use, for example:
Your Collection is a personal area that will not be shared with others. Items from your Collection can be added to any reading list.
