Note: Due to budget restrictions, we regret to announce that Leganto will be discontinued effective June 30, 2026. This decision was not made lightly and reflects the current financial constraints facing all colleges and polytechnics.
We recognize this change may have an impact and are committed to working with you as we transition to an alternative approach. Our work together on course readings will continue, your liaison librarian will be happy to work with you to investigate how best to move forward.
We have created instructions for you to export your reading lists from Leganto. Please export your list before June 30, 2026. If you have questions about this process please contact your liaison librarian.
You will no longer able to create new Leganto lists.
To continue using your course resource list(s) going forward, please export your existing Leganto lists and either upload them into your Seneca@Learn course or email them to your students. Library resource links will continue to require Seneca student authentication.
Students - looking for a course resource list? Ask your instructor for information on how to access your course list from within your Learn@Seneca (Blackboard) course if they are using Leganto. There should be a link in your course menu in Learn@Seneca (Blackboard) course, it may be labelled Course Resources, Reading List, Leganto, Library Readings or something else.
Leganto is a resource list management system that allows course instructors to quickly build specialized resource lists for courses. The Leganto search spans the library collection and other openly available resources, and you can add more digital items from online and your own collection.
Because Leganto is also linked to Learn@Seneca (Blackboard), you can embed your resource lists right into your courses, making it easy to access for students.
There are a myriad of useful features available to students and faculty (analytics, ability to edit within Blackboard, etc.) to enhance virtual learning and class participation.
Interested instructors should contact their liaison librarians.
If you are not an instructor, but are interested in Leganto, please contact librarytechhelp@senecapolytechnic.ca for assistance.
