IGeLU 2023 Conference and Developers' Day

Maintaining Leganto reading lists and keeping up to date with new editions can be a complex endeavour. The process of purchasing new editions involves various workflows, and once the books arrive at the library, there are multiple avenues through which staff and instructors may become aware of their existence. Currently, there’s no streamlined method for alerting staff to a new edition.
Leganto users frequently request improved functionality to find new editions of titles on reading lists. Among the top NERS requests in the past two years have been enhancements to identifying new editions.
This presentation will showcase an analytics report developed by the IGeLU and ELUNA Leganto Product Working Group that provides the ability to effortlessly identify the most recent edition of a title on a reading list. It will also describe how the report has been used in several institutions' workflows including in conjunction with the ‘Suggest Replacement’ feature in Leganto. Attendees will have the opportunity to learn techniques for customising the report to suit their institution's specific needs.
