What is Leganto?

Leganto is our new course reserves system which

  • provides a better user experience for you and your students through a more modern user interface and integration with the LibrarySearch with D2L. 
  • Allows you to create lists of both library resources and external resources and make them available to your students
  • Can be accessed by you and your students directly from your D2L course site.

Where should I start?

To begin preparing your course reserves, follow these steps.

1. Add to D2L

2. Create a list

  • You can create a list from scratch or duplicate an existing list.

3. Add items to your list

  • You can add both library resources and external resources, such as print books, ebooks, articles, streaming video, websites (YouTube videos, etc), and upload files.
  • You can also request digitization of books and media items.
  • The library will purchase books and videos added to your list that we do not already own when we’re able to.

4. Share your list

  • Publish your list to make it available to the library for processing and to the students in the course.
