Introducing Leganto: Create and Share Dynamic Course Resources in Blackboard

Leganto is a tool for creating, sharing and maintaining course resources lists. It is supported by the Library and is available in the Blackboard Content Market. 

Faculty can build their own Leganto lists, or have the Library build them based on the requested content.
