Courses and Leganto

We will use Leganto to integrate Alma Courses with professors' course sites on Canvas. Faculty will be able to submit reading lists directly through Canvas/Leganto for the Libraries to fulfill in Alma. Reading lists will be viewable through Canvas for both faculty and students.

Within Alma, staff with applicable roles will be able to search for and view Course Reserves by using the persistent search bar, choosing Courses, Reading Lists, or Citations, as appropriate.

Calendar Management

Alma uses the Calendars when calculating circulation due dates, overdue fines, and the hold shelf period.

Standard Opening Hours must be defined at the Library level. Exceptions for closures, such as holidays, can be added either at the library level or inherited from the institution level.

Click the gear icon to enter Configuration.
From the top drop-down menu, make sure you are Configuring the correct location (ie, Marine Lab Library).
Navigate to Fulfillment > Library Management > Opening Hours.
Within Calendar Management, you can define Standard Opening Hours, Exceptions, and Events.
- Standard Opening Hours are regular dates and times during which the library is open, based on the day of the week.
- Exceptions are used to change open/closed dates and times for the library, such as for holidays, breaks, or other altered schedules.
- Events are noted on the Alma calendar, and can recur weekly or yearly, but do not change whether the library is open or closed.
Click Add Record to set standard hours, exceptions, or events.
Enter required fields, depending on the Record type.
Click Add or Add and Close.
After closing, click Apply Changes to run the associated job.
