Default behavior for different types of citations
You can expect 4 different types of citations to be submitted by faculty. This is the terminology that Ex Libris uses.
Physical - physical material (books, scores, physical DVDs). These default to being created as BeingPrepared. That is the status prior to ReadyForProcessing.
Digitization Request - these citations occur when a faculty member finds a physical item and requests that it be digitized using Leganto’s built-in form. These will be created as ReadyForProcessing, meaning that they are ready for library staff to take action.
Electronic - these represent electronic materials held in our Alma instance. These records have an MMS ID, and when you view them in Alma, you will see an “electronic” tab for holdings, like the example below. These will commonly, for us, be eBooks. These will be created as Leganto citations with a status of Completed, meaning that no library staff action is necessary to make them visible to students.
PC or CDI citations - these are citations from CDI (CDI stands for “Central Discovery Index.”) For our purposes, CDI is essentially what drives the appearance of articles in Summon. You won’t see these with an MMS ID or article title search in Alma. These will be created as Leganto citations with a status of Completed, meaning that no library staff action is necessary to make them visible to students.
There are also digital citations that can be created, but are not yet in use at Duke. (Digital refers to citations held in Alma Digital, which is not yet implemented.)
Process when a new reading list comes in from a faculty member via Leganto
If a reading list is brand new, it will appear as an Unassigned task when it first arrives in Alma. You can view it via the Tasks widget on your home page:
Assign a reading list to a library staff member
Click Unassigned from the tasks widget to view the list of tasks.
From the More actions menu, choose View in Leganto
From the Leganto view of the list, choose List info
Under the “Description” field, you should see where the faculty member wants the reserves to be held.
Return to the Alma view of the reading list. From the More actions menu, select Reassign.
From the Reassign box, select the person who should work on the list. Include an explanatory note, and click Send as email so a notice is generated.
Lilly or Bishop’s House: David Felton
Music: Sarah Griffin
Perkins or any other library listed: Jeremy Martin
If the faculty member did not indicate which library should manage their reserves
TBD - this process needs to be determined. You’ll need to contact the faculty member to find out where they want their reserves to go.

Processing physical reserves when faculty member put request into Leganto
When a faculty member asks to put a physical item on reserve, it will have a default citation status of BeingPrepared. The faculty member has to send it to the library when they are ready for it to be processed. (TO BE CONFIRMED - happens when the list is sent?) This can be when they send the full reading list, or when they send just a citation.
Working from the reading list level
When the faculty member sends the list to the library, it will show up in the reading list task list as either “Assigned to me - ready for processing” or “Unassigned - ready for processing.”
Click one of the two links to go to reading lists.
Working from the citation level
Click Citations > Ready for processing to open the citations list.
Use the facets on the left to filter the list of citations to those for lists that are assigned to you.
Reading list level - processing physical items
Scroll to the Citations list. Find the citation with Ready for Processing. From the More Actions menu, choose Manage Fulfillment Options
On the next page, review the options in Physical Services. In this example, we have one DVD that is in a temporary location in Perkins Locked Stacks.
Request either a specific copy in Physical Services from the More Actions menu, or choose the Place Request button in the top right to place a title level request, if you don’t care which copy you receive.
When you return to the citation page, you’ll see an Alert now on the citation:
The item will be pulled like a patron request.
When the item arrives, it will get an Item temporary location popup, like this:
Returning to the reading list and citation, it will still say Being Prepared, but there will now be a second alert saying the move request was completed.
Once you’ve finished any additional preparation and the item is shelved, click Set Complete to finish the reserve.
On the Physical tab, you’ll see that the item is now on the reserve location.
Processing physical reserves when faculty member did not put the request into Leganto
This is similar to the process when they put it in themselves, but you must create the citation first.
Open the reading list.
On the Citations tab, choose Add citation
There are three ways to add citations.
Brief - use for personal copies
See personal copy directions (to be written)
Add Non-Repository Citation - use this when you are creating a citation for something you want to put on reserve that should not be added to Duke’s Alma repository.
An example of this would be an electronic journal article, which would be held in Summon, but would not be in the Alma repository as its own thing with its own MMS ID. Another example would be a scan of a physical article or book chapter.
This is similar to adding electronic journal articles to reserves before - we wouldn’t want those to show up in discovery, as they were not cataloged items.
Add Repository Citation - use this when you are creating a citation for something that you know that Duke owns already, like a book, DVD, or full journal issue.
Add repository citation
This is fairly straightforward. It will take you to an Alma All Titles search. See https://knowledge.exlibrisgroup.com/Alma/Product_Documentation/010Alma_Online_Help_(English)/030Fulfillment/060Courses_and_Reading_Lists/040Managing_Citations#Adding_a_Citation_Already_in_the_Repository for directions as needed. Once the citation is added, if the item is a physical item, follow the directions from https://duke.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/LIB/pages/edit-v2/194248739#Reading-list-level---processing-physical-items to process the reserve.
Add a non-repository citation
Choose Book Chapter, Article, or other material type if more appropriate.
For Edit Reading List Citation:
Mandatory field: Article/Chapter Title
Add any additional citation information potentially needed for reporting or copyright purposes.
Processing electronic reserves (eBooks, Journal Articles)
If Duke already owns the electronic item in question, and it can be found in a Summon search, the faculty member should be able to put the item on reserve with little or no library intervention.
If Duke doesn’t own the electronic item in question, the manual entry must include
ISSN, volume, issue, start page, and publication year
ORISBN
ORDOI
Processing physical reserves when faculty member is not using Canvas
If a faculty member is not using Canvas, they are not able to get electronic reserves. Only physical reserves are eligible.
Note - publishing from Alma to Summon (to the Course Reserves tab) can take anywhere from 24-72 hours, depending on the time of week. This includes both adding new materials and removing materials that were added by accident. Make sure this is communicated to the instructor.
The general workflow is:
Faculty member submits a Qualtrics form request (form link to be added)
Library staff member creates the course in Fulfillment > Courses
From the course in the courses list, click More Actions, and Reading List.
On the Reading List page, click Add Reading List
Code should be the course code (e.g., listing + term + year) - for example, Chem.101.F.25
Name should be the name of the course as you inputted on the course screen. This name is what will display in Summon.
Leave the status as Being Prepared
The Due Back date should be set to the end of the course term
Click Add and Close
You’ll return to the reading lists screen. For the list you just created, click the More Actions menu, and click Reassign. Assign the list to the appropriate staff member for processing (https://duke.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/LIB/pages/edit-v2/194248739#Assign-a-reading-list-to-a-library-staff-member )
On the reading list page, begin processing materials with the same process for if the faculty member is using Canvas. Just remember that only physical materials can be put on reserve through this process https://duke.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/LIB/pages/edit-v2/194248739#Processing-physical-reserves-when-faculty-member-did-not-put-the-request-into-Leganto
Putting items on reserve when they can’t be found in Summon
Faculty may want to put items on reserve that we don’t own, or that they can’t find in Summon for whatever reason.
They can do that in different ways once the list is created.
Faculty list and items documentation: https://knowledge.exlibrisgroup.com/Leganto/Product_Documentation/Leganto_Online_Help_(English)/Managing_Lists_in_Leganto/01_Introduction_to_Lists_and_Items
Add using ISBN - lets the faculty member add the item with an ISBN
Import References - lets the faculty member add references from a file. 3 formats are supported - RIS, BibTex, and References - see https://knowledge.exlibrisgroup.com/Leganto/Product_Documentation/Leganto_Online_Help_(English)/Managing_Lists_in_Leganto/03_Adding_Resources#Importing_References
Manual entry - lets them add the item manually through the Leganto UI
Adding via ISBN
To add via ISBN, the instructor will get a screen similar to the manual entry screen, but it will populate information like the book cover.
Note that it may not auto-populate the title - which can be confusing if Syndectics finds the book cover.
