Leganto is the reading list system platform at Lancaster University. Support and training is available for academic staff create Resource Lists.
Using Leganto for reading lists is a University policy ,however there are many more reasons than that to use it:
- Leganto provides a direct link to online resources such as books, journals articles and websites making it easier for students to navigate through their Resource Lists.
- It is not just about books. You can add links to specialist databases and resources. Leganto makes it easy to compile a reading list for your modules with just a few clicks as you can import items directly from OneSearch.
- Resource Lists are easy to set up and maintain, and you can keep track of them all in one place instead of updating copies of your list in multiple places.
- Using Leganto means the library know what resources students are expected to read, and we can provide better access to the required materials. The library purchases resources based on what is added to a Resource List and will create digital extracts which are added to reading lists.
- Leganto takes care of copyright for you with digital extracts. You won’t fall foul of copyright rule and regulations. Add book chapters to your list and the library will scan them and upload to Leganto.
