A new look for Leganto reading lists

Reading lists are getting a refresh and will launch at ACU in January 2025. The library has been busy preparing for the change.

Why the change?

The reading list vendor, Ex Libris, has conducted user research and testing to improve the current design. Whilst the reading list will look different, much of the functionality will remain the same. The layout has been modified to simplify common tasks and is more user-friendly for you and for students.

The updated look has been designed with the following considerations:

  • a clearer and simplified interface
  • prioritising small device usability, particularly laptops
  • optimising key tasks for lecturers
  • enhancing accessibility to resources for students.

A new Leganto library guide is coming soon, it will include:

  • the new functionality and how to complete common tasks
  • a timeline for preparing your lists
  • how the library can help.

Look out for more information in the new year. For now, we have included the following image sneak previews:
