A guide to using the Leganto reading list management system

Adding reading lists to a virtual learning environment

By default a link to your published reading list will appear in the left hand navigation pane in Blackboard Learn. Contact your department’s Learning Technologist if the Leganto link is not visible.

You can add additional links to the reading list in the Content Pane if required.

Making reading lists available in Blackboard Learn

  • In Leganto make sure that your list has a status of Published. Go to Publishing your list for more information.
  • Log into Blackboard and navigate to the required module
  • Ensure that Edit mode is turned on
  • Navigate to the area in the module where you wish to make the reading list available
  • Select Tools/More Tools from the edit menu
  • Select Reading List
  • In the Link Information page you can edit the name of the list if desired. Note this will be the name displayed in Blackboard
  • Enter further information in the Text box if desired
  • All other fields have been automatically configured - please do not change these 
  • Click Submit

Please note that if your module shares a Blackboard area with other modules you will need to use a shareable link to direct students to a specific module list.
