Install the Cite it! tool

N.B! Currently some websites and browsers are blocking use of the Cite It! tool. We are aware of these ones at present:-

  • YouTube - you will need to add a YouTube video as a manual entry to your list.
  • Safari browser - the Cite It! tool does not work in Safari.
  • Wiley - this should not affect us as Wiley articles can be added from Primo via the 'Search the library' option.
  • Elsevier - this should not affect us as Elsevier (Science Direct) articles can be added from Primo via the 'Search the library' option.

The supplier Ex Libris is working on a replacement tool for Cite It! to resolve these issues, but this is in the early development phase and will most likely not be available for some time.


To import citations from outside Primo (a website, for example) into your Leganto lists, you will need to install the 'Cite it!' tool:

Please use Google Chrome as your browser.

  • Once logged in to Leganto, click the Settings cog Settings cog icon in the top right hand corner and choose Cite it! from the drop-down menu.
  • A window opens which allows you to drag and drop the Cite It! button straight to your bookmarks toolbar (you may need to enable the toolbar in Chrome first if it is not already showing):-

Once you have installed this, you can go to any website and click the Cite It! bookmarklet to harvest the information and attach it to your chosen list and section. Instructions to do this can be found here.
