Resource Lists: new features!

Now that Leganto has been live for a few weeks, you might have come across some features that the previous system didn’t have. We thought we’d highlight the new options to like and discuss items, as well as the feature which allows students (or other people using resource lists) to suggest items for inclusion on a list.

Course organisers: 3 steps to requesting a digitisation (scan)

You can use Leganto to request a scan of a book chapter or article on your resource list. There’s three things you need to remember to do:

  1. Tag the item,
  2. Let us know which pages/chapter need to be scanned,
  3. Send the list to the Library for processing.

Leganto is now live!

Drum roll please……………

The new reading list system, Leganto is now live!

Staff and students can view the new homepage at the current Resource Lists address: http://resourcelists.ed.ac.uk

To access resources on lists or to start building/editing/following lists, sign in by clicking on ‘Guest’ (top right) and use your EASE username and password.

Existing Talis Aspire lists

If you can’t see your old Talis list on Leganto yet, don’t worry, we’ll be checking all migrated 2016/17 lists and publishing them soon. We’ll be in touch with Course Organisers individually to let you know when your lists are available on Leganto.

Access Resource Lists via Learn

Course organisers, you can add  Resource Lists (Leganto) to your course on Learn. Once this is done, you will be able to click through and start using the system to build your resource lists for 2017/18 and your list will be associated automatically with the course in Learn. Once lists are published, students will be able to access them via their courses in Learn.

Getting started guides

There are guides for academics staff and students to help you get started with Leganto on the Information Services website.

Access to Talis Aspire resource lists 12th June- 12th July 2017

From Monday 12th June the Resource Lists web address http://resourcelists.ed.ac.uk will take you to the new reading list system, Leganto and not to Talis Aspire.

Between 12th June-12th July, you can still access your Talis Aspire resource lists using this web address: http://ed.rl.talis.com

Please note: access to Talis Aspire will end on 12th July 2017.

You will be able to access the new reading list system, Leganto from Monday 12th June.

All 2016/17 Talis Aspire resource lists have been copied to Leganto, so there’s no need to create new versions of existing lists.  If you can’t see your existing list on Leganto, don’t worry, we’ll be checking and publishing it soon. We’ll be in touch with Course Organisers individually to let you know when your lists are available on Leganto.

Updates to the Resource Lists website

As Leganto is going live very soon, we’ve made a few changes to the Resource Lists website over the last couple of weeks (but it won’t look too different – even though the resource lists system is changing, the service is staying the same). Here are links to some of the new pages:

More user guides and workshop dates will be added over the summer, so keep an eye on the website and blog!
