Reading list system (Leganto)

User manual for course coordinators

Guidance videos (only in Norwegian) (film.oslomet.no) 

Course coordinators will be notified by e-mail when their reading lists are ready for editing: 

• February / March for the autumn semester 
• Mid-October for the spring semester 

If you know of new courses that require a reading list please contact the subject librarian (oslomet.no) for your department or send an e-mail to pensum@oslomet.no.

We will then help you create a reading list you can work on. 

Deadlines for submitting edited reading lists to the library: 

• April 15th for autumn courses 
• November 1st for spring courses 

When you are finished editing the reading list in Leganto, it is important that you click "Send list to library for publishing". Only then will the library go through the list, buy books, process digitization requests, and publish the reading list. 

If reading lists are not submitted by the deadline, the library cannot guarantee that the reading list are available to students when the semester starts.

Students must enter the reading list via the course room in Canvas. This is the only way they get access to material that is digitized or available electronically. 

All published reading lists are linked from the spesific course page at student.oslomet.no

The reading list material that you want digitized must be marked with the "For digitization" tag in the reading list. It is important that you not only list chapters but also enter "Start page" and "End page" (see user manual for guidance). The reading list is published even if all the digitization request aren't completed. The person responsible for the digitization obtains and scans the material, then creates a pdf that is uploaded to the reference Leganto.  

The Kopinor agreement allows you to share 15% of a book and 1 article from a journal. It is possible to apply for extended rights in BOLK, this means a somewhat longer processing time and the possibility of rejection. The library takes care of all rights clearances in BOLK, requester will be notified if a request is rejected.
