What is Leganto?


The Glucksman Library provides Leganto reading lists to all academic staff and students at the University of Limerick.

Leganto is integrated with Brightspace to create reading lists and provide direct links to the library's collections - simplifying access to the course material for your students from your module site. 

You can provide access to a diverse range of resources  e.g. electronic articles, eBooks, and print books from the library's collections, and links to freely available resources online in accordance with copyright law.


Many leading universities use Leganto and the benefits include 

  • curated lists of recommended readings are provided for each module
  • annual roll-over of content
  • linking students directly to University-subscribed and owned material in the library's collections
  • fair and equal access to reading material for students on campus and studying remotely 
  • academic referencing is simplified for students through the provision of full bibliographic citations for reading material
  • measure student engagement with course materials using analytics

Faculty are invited to build their reading lists and update existing content.

Please ensure that all your content complies with copyright law.  Copyright applies to all categories of works, irrespective of format. Do not assume that material freely available on the web is outside the bounds on copyright law. Uploading the work of other authors that is still in copyright into a VLE or intranet without their explicit permission is copyright infringement because you are indirectly providing multiple copies. 

Please contact the library for recommendations on how to use Leganto.
