Leganto Reading Lists
Leganto is the name of the University’s digital system for creating and managing module reading lists. When a list is published by the Library, it becomes available to your students via Canvas. You can access your assigned Leganto reading lists directly at wlv.ac.uk/leganto.
If you want to talk to our Leganto Team, get one-to-one training or help with developing your lists, or have questions about Leganto and the resources you can include, please email the team at leganto@wlv.ac.uk. We can help via email or arrange an appointment either online (via Teams) or in person - just ask!
You can download our comprehensive Leganto User Guide here: Leganto - a Guide to Managing Your Reading Lists
Reminder - requests for new books and resources ideally should be made during the module update windows, usually in Spring and Winter. This is to give the Library time to get the items before the coming semester.
And please remember to click “My list is ready” when you’ve made any changes to your list!
Leganto: Reviewing Your Reading Lists Online Workshops
Leganto workshops run occasionally during the academic year or can be provided upon request. The sessions are ideal for academics - especially new members of staff - who require a practical introduction to accessing, constructing and submitting their reading lists.
