Course Reading List (Leganto) in Bruin Learn

As of Winter Quarter 2024, most courses in Bruin Learn have Leganto (the "Course Reading List" tool) already added as a default page within their sites. You can locate the Course Reading List tool by scrolling through your course site's navigation menu and selecting "Course Reading List." However, a small handful of departments have not yet added Leganto as a default option to their course site menus. If you are unable to locate the Course Reading List tab in your course site navigation menu, you will need to manually add it in your Settings. This process is simple and takes no more than a minute or two:

1. Scroll to "Settings" on your course site's navigation menu
2. Select the "Navigation" tab
3. Scroll down to the list of disabled pages
4. Locate "Course Reading List" in the list of the disabled pages, then click and drag it into the list of enabled courses
5. Scroll down to the bottom of the Settings page and click "Save"
6. You should now be able to access "Course Reading List" from your course's site menu

1. From your course site's menu, select Course Reading List

2. If this is your first time accessing Leganto for a particular course, you will see a welcome screen with different options listed.

   • If you would like to create a new reading list, select "Create It"

   • If you would like to reuse a list you have created in Leganto previously, select "Roll Over"

     • See Roll Over a Reading List from a Previous Course for more details

3. You will be prompted to name your reading list. This name will be visible to your students and the library. You will have the option to change it later.

4. Add a description of your reading list (optional)

5. Hit "Create"

6. Choose whether you'd like to build your reading list's structure from scratch ("Default") or use the 10-week academic quarter template

   • This template creates a reading list with a section built for each week of the quarter, plus a general Resources section as well as a Finals Week section

   • If you choose to use the 10-week template, you can still edit, add, and delete any sections later

If you chose to create your reading list using the "Default" template, you will start off with one section titled "Resources." If you selected the 10-week template, you will start off with a Resources section, a section for each week of the academic quarter, and a section for Finals Week. Regardless of the template you selected, you may customize your reading list to fit your course's needs. You can:

• Add sections

  • From the top right of the reading list, select "New Section"
  • Give the new section a title
  • Add a section description (optional)
  • Add section dates (optional)
  • Select "Create"

• Edit sections

  • Select the section menu (the three horizontal dots "..." in the upper right corner of the section) and select "Edit section"
  • You will then be able to edit the section's title, add a description for the section, and attribute start and end dates to the section
  • If you decide to add start and end dates to the section, you will be given the option to choose whether or not to restrict the section's visibility to only the specified dates
  • Select "Save"

• Move sections

  • Click the "Toggle section view" button in the top left corner of the reading list
  • You will now be able to see a blue bar on the right side of each section when you hover over them
  • You may either click and drag or use the up and down buttons on each section's respective blue bar to rearrange their order
  • Once you're done, click on the "Toggle section view" button again to return to normal view

You may also:

• Edit the reading list

  • Select the reading list options menu (three horizontal dots "..." on the top right of the reading list) and select "Edit"
  • You will have the option to edit the reading list's title, add any relevant start and end dates, and link to or upload a syllabus

If you have already made a reading list in Leganto, you can reuse or "roll over" the previous list. There are a couple methods to do this: either through the initial welcome screen, or through your reading list page.

Through the welcome screen:

• Select "Roll Over"
• Type in the name of the course whose reading list you'd like to reuse
  • Note: you will only be able to access reading lists you have personally made in Leganto previously
• Select the appropriate course
• Click "Roll Over"

If you have already clicked through the welcome screen, you can still roll over a reading list from your reading list page:

• From your Bruin Learn course site, select "Course Reading List"
• By default, you will only see the reading lists associated with the course you're currently in
• Select the "X" next to "Lists associated with this course" to see all of the reading lists you've created in Leganto
• Once you've located the reading list you'd like to roll over, select the reading list menu (three horizontal dots "..." on the top right corner of the reading list) and select "Roll Over list"
• Search and select the course you'd like to add the reading list to
• Click "Roll Over"

Once you have successfully rolled over the list, you will be able to edit and add sections and items to it. Remember that you have essentially copied and pasted the old reading list - any changes you make to the rolled over reading list will not affect the original.

You will still need to publish/submit the rolled over reading list! See Submit Reading List to Library and Publish Reading List for more details.

If you are teaching multiple courses/sections/lectures that are all using the exact same reading list, you can associate the same reading list to each course. This makes the same reading list visible within multiple course sites, preventing the need to create the reading list for each section individually.

1. Open the reading list, go to the reading list menu (three horizontal dots "..." in upper right corner), and select "Manage course association"

2. Look up the name of the additional course you would like to associate the reading list to

3. Click "Associate and Close" to associate the reading list with the selected course, or click "+ Associate" to associate it to multiple other courses
