Using Leganto Reading Lists in Canvas

If you would like to add a digitized chapter from a physical book to your reading list, please follow the steps below:

1. Click the + Add button from your reading list, then from the drop down menu, choose the Search the Library option. Next, search for the book by title in the search field. To narrow down your results, you can click the Filter option and choose Book and Held by library, then click Apply. From the list of results, be sure to choose the correct edition you would like digitized, then hover your mouse over the item record and click the green + icon (Add Item to List).

2. Choose the section of your list that it should be added to, then click the Add & Edit button. Next, click the Item actions tab, and in the Tags section, add the Digitize tag and click Save.

3. Once the item has been added to your list, hover your mouse over the item record and click Full Details. Next, choose the Library discussion tab, scroll down to the Type your message entry field, enter the page range or chapters you would like digitized, then click Send. 

After your request has been submitted, the library will review it to ensure that it complies with copyright guidelines. Once the request has been processed, a PDF copy of the chapter or page range will be uploaded to Leganto and you will be notified by email.

To submit an eBook or print book purchase request, please follow the steps below:

1. From your reading list, click the + Add button, then choose the Manual entry option from the drop down menu.

2. In the Type* field, choose either book or eBook from the drop down menu and enter the title of the book. On the next page, fill out any important item details such as the author (Creator), ISBN, publication date, etc.

3. Next, choose which section the book should be added to, then in the Tags section, click the Add Tag option and choose either Purchase E-book or Purchase Print Book, then click Save.

Once the new citation has been added to your list, the status of the item record will say Library processing. The library will be notified of your purchase request and will contact you by email to discuss our available purchasing options. The Baylor libraries prioritize purchasing eBooks over print books, as they provide wider access for students, but will purchase print books when eBook are options are not available.

After a purchase request has been processed and the item is catalogued and available, it will be added to your reading list and you will be notified by email.
