Reading Lists: 4. Exporting Your Reading List

How to Export a Reading List

You can export a reading list in various formats by selecting Export > <format> or Print in the reading list menu.

You can export to a proprietary Leganto format (.lgn file) or to DOC (Microsoft Word), PDF, XLS (Microsoft Excel), RIS, or ENW (EndNote) formats. If you export to Leganto format, you, or any user who has access to the exported list, can import the list as a reading list at a later time. If you export to RIS format, you, or any user who has access to the exported list, can import the list to My Collection at a later time. If you select Print, the reading list opens in a new tab in PDF format, enabling you to easily print the reading list.

                   

 

To export as a Word document:  select Word from the menu, then the type of reference from the drop-down menu.

                   

 

 

Then select ‘pretty link’ or ‘full link’  - ‘Export’.  Below is an example of the difference between the links:
