Creating a literature list
Creating a new literature list
While situated on your dashboard (press "My lists" in the upper left corner), press the button "New lists" ("Opprett pensumliste") in the upper right corner.
Enter the title of your literature list. It is recommended to write the title as so:
COURSE CODE TERM COURSE NAME.
- Example: "BIOS1120V21 Fysiologi"
Press the "Next/Neste"-button when you are done:
Chose a template. We recommend that you use "Litteraturliste MN", and click "Opprett pensumliste":
Look up course and connect it to your list
When you have created your literature list and chosen the template "Litteraturliste MN", it is recommended that you connect the list with your course in FS.
To connect your list to your course, click "Lenke til emnet":
Please note that you will be able to press "Not now", and finish the connection at a later time. If you choose to do this, please refer to the last point of this guide for more information.
Look up your course code and select the correct one in the drop down menu. Searching for your course code should be sufficient. NB! Make sure that you chose the correct term:
If your literature list is used in several courses (for example a cloned subject) you can use click "Lenke til emnet" and then "+ Legg til emne":
Note that you have the option to change or add course association by clicking on the three dots at the top center of the bibliography overview and then pressing "Håndter emnetilknytning".
If it already says COURSE CODE TERM COURSE NAME with a blue font under your list in Leganto, this simply means that your literature list is already connected to your course. This might be the case when there are multiple course teachers and someone else has already done the steps listed above.

Additions to the literature list
How to make additions to your literature list
At the MN-faculty Leganto is meant to contain the central literature of a given course. This means the literature which contributes directly to the students achieving their learning goals. If you have other learning resources that are important for achieving the learning goals (presentations, nice-to-read-articles etc.), you can put these in Canvas or directly in Vortex by following the steps below:
For Canvas users
Create a module in your Canvas room and name it "Additions to the literature list":
Add the files that encompass your additions to your literature list (presentations etc.) in this module.
The next step is to open the semester page of your course in your browser and click "administrer dokument" and click "rediger":
Scroll down until you see "Ressurslenker". Click where it says "Ressurslenker 1 - intet innhold":
Add content to the fields "Tittel and "Lenketittel":
In the field "Lenke" you need to paste the url to the right modeule in Canvas ("Additions to the literature list"). Press "Lagre og vis". Your semester page should then look like this:
If your course does not use Canvas
Go to the semester page of your course, and press "administrer dokument". Click the term folder (v21, h21 etc.):
Create an article in the folder "Pensumlister". Add the additional content for your literature list in this article:
Scroll down until you see "Ressurslenker". Click the first one as shown in the photo below:
Enter necessary information in the fields "Tittel" and "Lenketittel". In the third field, "lenke", you need to add the article you created two steps earlier in this guide:
The semester page will now look like this:
Edit bibliography you have already posted
Edit "Book", "Article" or "Document"
Press the three dots in the upper right corner of the reference you wish to edit. Then click "Edit item":
Remember to press "save" when you are done.
When you are done
Connect your list to your course (if you haven't already done so)
Press "Link to the course", then search for your course and choose the correct semester. When you have clicked on the correct subject code and semester, the link will be saved automatically.
Sending the literature list to the library
Press the button "My syllabus list is ready" and confirm with the button "Send" in the dialog box that appears
