LEGANTO^© AT UPC

The needs

• Secure the access and availability of the resources that were part of the mandatory bibliography of the courses.

​

• Allow faculty to include as part of the bibliography, documents and resources subscribed by the library (printed, digital) and open access academic material.

​

• Adapt the content of the bibliography to the "Education by competences" model.

​

• Analyze the use of the resources that are part of the bibliography by courses, academic programs and the different user's typology: students, faculty, freshmen students, senior students, etc.

​

• Integrate the bibliography into the Academic Systems of the UPC (e-syllable manager and the Virtual Classroom - Blackboard).

ALEPH ONLINE CATALOG INTEGRATED TO THE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM OF THE UPC SYLLABUS

2007

• Only allowed to reference collections printed from the ALEPH catalog
• The electronic resources and open access needed to be registered manually

PRIMO DISCOVERY IN PARALLEL TO THE ALEPH ONLINE CATALOG

2011

• PRIMO discovery and ALEPH catalog coexisted
• PRIMO discovery was not integrated to the Syllabus management system, its contents could not be referenced from the bibliography

PRIOR TO THE LEGANTO IMPLEMENTATION

ALMA implementation

2017

• The library system decided to integrate to one search system for printed and digital materials, however the lack of integration with the Syllabus management system was limiting the use of its contents

​

• Leganto's usage statistics demonstrate sustained growth from its implementation through 2019; however, in the wake of the pandemic and virtual education, the use (number of full text views) increased by more than 700% in 2020-1. During this 2021-1 it increased by 26% compared to the previous year.
