Leganto Reading List LibGuide

Add an item using Search the Library

To add items held by the ANU Library, including books, e-books, DVDs, and other entire items, click +Add button and select Search the library from the drop-down menu

Use Advanced search to search by title, author, ISBN and ISSN. Search everything or from drop-down menu, select a specific type of resource. To limit search result to records with full-text access, do not tick the check box:

 

Use Filters to further narrow down your search:

Scroll through the search results until you find the citation you want. You can:

  • Add the item to List, Suggestions or Favourites
  • Add to a specific section in your list
  • Add & Edit allows you to edit the item details before adding it to the list

 

Items can also be dragged and dropped from your search results directly into the relevant section of your reading list by hovering over the citation and clicking on the green tab on the left-hand side or clicking the plus green symbol on the right:

 

Tips for adding items

Tips:

  • When searching for a journal article, search using the primary article title and one of the authors’ surnames.
  • Do not search by DOI, as Leganto struggles to find articles this way. In the first instance, look for Full text and Open Access.
  • E-journal articles from Library collection do not need to be processed by the Library and will have the status Complete and show as available for students to access as soon as you publish your list.
  • Physical resources will need to be processed by the library and will have the status Library Processing. These items/citations will not be visible to the course students until processed and marked as complete by the library.

Add from Favourites

Favourites is your personal Leganto library. You can use this collection to save resources that you may like to easily access and add to different reading lists later. Items saved in Favourites are personal and would not be shared with others.

Favourites is located on the left pane.

 

A - To build the collection in Favourites, click +Add and select the appropriate option

 Select Favourites 

 

B - To keep track of the items in your personal collection you can add private tags to filter them. Any tags and notes added in Favourites are personal to you and will not be visible when the item is added to a reading list.
