Post-Symposium session (Venue: Stellenbosch University Library)14:00-16:00Dr Tamar Sadeh In September 2015, the Ex Libris Leganto™ course reading list solution went live. Selected by 107 institutions in 19 countries by now (September 2018), the comprehensive Leganto solution is tightly integrated with library workflows and facilitates collaboration among academics, librarians, and students for the creation, maintenance, use, and evaluation of reading lists. In this session, we will look at the innovative Leganto features and the workflows of all the stakeholders in the reading list cycle. We shall focus on the way in which Leganto enables libraries to improve their support of teaching and learning and the impact that Leganto has had on the use of the library collections, student engagement and success, and the overall positioning of the library within the institution. |
