Yes, Library staff can make a PDF a read-only file that students cannot download from their Leganto Reading List. 

Add your PDF file to Leganto following the instructions for adding a scanned chapter (see link at the bottom of this page), and then follow the steps below to include a note to Library staff to make this request:

  1. Once you have uploaded the file and completed the item details, click add
  2. Hover over the citation in your reading list and click on full details
  3. Click the Library Discussion tab and write your comment.
  4. Click Send
