Introduction

Leganto is Cardiff Met’s reading list management system. It provides an efficient and easy way to compile and publish reading lists for student cohorts. Fully integrated with MetSearch and Moodle, it provides students with easy access to all course materials through a single interface.

Leganto will allow the creation of a reading list with a variety of materials: books & eBooks, online or digitised book chapters, scholarly articles, videos, images, podcasts and much more to create a flexible, diverse and interactive reading list.

• Easy to use.
• Allows you to include resources of different formats; from journal articles to physical books, e-book chapters and even multimedia.
• Fully integrated with the library management system so you can include direct links through to material on MetSearch.
• Makes it easier to keep reading lists up-to-date and ensure the most recent editions are listed.
• Analytics and reports are available to gain insight into usage of materials and adjust course content accordingly.
• Allows you to provide digitised content in a way that meets the Copyright Licensing Agency's legal requirements.

• Easy access to all course reading and materials in one place.
• Directly accessible via Moodle.
• Includes direct links to MetSearch, providing easy access to online resources directly from the list.
• Gives information about how many print copies we have and where to find them in the library.
• More opportunities for students to engage with their reading lists – students can suggest resources to add as well as being able to like resources, comment on lists and create their own.

We offer online and in person workshops throughout the year. These workshops take you step-by-step through using Leganto to create engaging lists and provide an opportunity to address any queries.

Our workshops are bookable via Learning Pool.
