If you have any questions about Business School Leganto lists, please contact libbbpd@imperial.ac.uk.

Requesting a new Leganto course for your module reading list

If your module is new, or hasn’t previously had a reading list, there may not be a course in Leganto to associate your list to. If you cannot find your module details in Leganto please send the information listed below to libbpd@imperial.ac.uk and library staff will create a Leganto course for you.

  • Module code (this must be the Banner codes which begin with BUSI)
  • Name of module
  • If the module is delivered on campus, or online
  • Term/s the module runs
  • Number of students expected to enrol (this can be an estimate)

Linking Harvard Business Review articles using EBSCO

Harvard Publishing allows linking from online reading lists to Harvard Business Review articles that are findable in the database EBSCO Business Source Ultimate.

Please note, this does not apply to Harvard Business Review case studies, which the Business School still needs to individually purchase for reading lists.

  • Click the Add – Manual entry
  • Select Electronic Article from the Type pull-down menu
  • Enter the article title and click Next
  • In the URL field enter https://iclibezp1.cc.ic.ac.uk/login?url= (this allows access to students not on campus)
  • Open Library Search and search for the article, click on the title to open the full details and click on the EBSCO link to open the article
  • When the article opens in EBSCO click on the permalink icon in the right hand Tools menu
  • A permalink to the article will appear at the top of the screen
  • Copy the link, return to the list in Leganto and paste the EBSCO permalink into the URL field in the item after https://iclibezp1.cc.ic.ac.uk/login?url=
  • Fill in any other relevant fields and click Next
  • Select a section to add the item to and click Add
  • Select a Reading level designation from the options in the pop-up window

If you are unable to find the article in Library Search open Harvard Business Review in EBSCO and navigate to the article using Issues and Articles.

Adding Harvard Business Review Case Studies and other documents to your list

To add HBR Case Studies and other documents you should create a manual item from scratch.

To ensure access to documents is available to students using the Hub, a link to the document should be added to Reading Lists, rather than adding the document itself via the drag and drop feature.

Documents not available online should be uploaded to the Business School server and the link provided added to Reading Lists.

  • Click Add - Manual entry
  • Select Case Study from the Type pull-down menu
  • Enter the article title and click Next
  • Fill in all relevant fields, using the More Item Details option as required
  • Enter the URL for the document on the Business School server to the URL field and click Next
  • Select a section to add the item to and click Add
  • Select a Reading level designation from the options in the pop-up window

Note that access to HBR Case studies may expire. If you are editing an existing list, please check that the link to HBR case studies is functional.
