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 New List"

   • If you would like to reuse a list you have created in Leganto previously, select "Select Existing List"

     • See Copy 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 "Next"

6. Choose how you would like to organize your reading list. You will have three options:

   1. Quarter Schedule: this option creates a reading list with a section built for each week of the 10-week quarter (including Finals Week), plus a general Resources section

   2. Weeks: this option creates a reading list with a customizable amount of weeks. You can change the amount of weeks you would like under “Number of Weeks”

   3. Blank: this option creates a reading list with one “Resources” section

   4. No matter which option you choose, you will be able to edit, add, and delete any sections in your reading list later.

7. Select “Create List”

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 left of the reading list, select "+ Add"
  • Select “New Section” from the dropdown
  • Add a section description (optional)
  • Add section dates (optional)
  • Select "Add"

• Edit sections

  • Hover over the section and 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
  • Select "Save"

• Move sections

  • Click the "Manage sections" button in the top left corner of the reading list
  • Hover over the section you’d like to move and you’ll see a “Drag” button on the left side of the section
  • Click and drag the sections until they’re in your preferred order
  • Once you're done, click on the "Manage items" button in the top left corner 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 list"
  • You will have the option to edit the reading list's title, add any relevant start and end dates, link to or upload a syllabus, and add or remove list collaborators

If you have already made a reading list in Leganto, you can reuse the previous list. 

Through the welcome screen:

• Select "Select existing list"
• You will now see all the reading lists you’ve previously created in Leganto
  • Note: you will only be able to access reading lists you have personally made in Leganto 
• Once you’ve identified the reading list you’d like to copy, select “Duplicate list” in the top right corner of the list
• Click "Create list"

Once you have successfully duplicated 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 duplicated reading list will not affect the original.

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