- Add a direct link to the provider/resource you suggest, and a contact person if possible.

- Make sure you mention any specific added value your idea has to the community such as language or supporting diversity.
- Did you find errors in an existing collection? please open a case.
- A new year has begun but no corresponding annual collection? post an idea in Idea Exchange, make sure to mention if it is an existing provider.
- Existing Provider - if your idea is for a new collection from a provider that already has content available in the KBs and CDI or enriching records for an existing collection, use this category. No voting is necessary, ideas for existing providers will be handled regardless of voting.
- New Providers - if your idea is for content from a provider that does not have any content available in the KBs and CDI, choose this category.
- Other - for non provider specific ideas

Separate publisher and aggregator collections to filter out unavailable preprints
Publishers are increasingly adding preprints to their collections but aggregators do not add them until they have been fully "published". Because aggregators and publishers share collections on the CDI, it looks as if our aggregator links are broken in the catalogue. If aggregators and publishers provide different levels of access, can the collections be separated to reflect this?
This is important because the preprints tend to be the latest publications and so are in relatively high demand.57 votes

start enrichment process for Hogrefe eBooks (Hogrefe eLibrary)
ExLibris created an automation for updates that will run on a weekly basis and will check for any changes made to the title list by Hogrefe Verlag. However, the metadata are rudimentary. We are missing author or editor, place of publication and publisher in the metadata. This makes it difficult to find out the ebooks in Primo VE.
Hence: could you please start an enrichment process with Hogrefe for their eLibrary eBooks titles?
117 votesHello,
After feedback from the community, we have reopened this idea.
The provider MARC will add authors, 300, better language and 008, Publisher.
Please be advised that although some improvement is expected, it will not enrich the records to robust Bibliographic records that meets library standards.
We will complete the enrichment by end of May 2024.
Kind regards,

Better Metadata for HANSER_ELIBRARY_BOOKS
The bib records in the electronic collection Hanser Elibrary Books are very poor and sometimes even wrong.
i.e. MMS-ID 993440000000000927:
LDR -----cam-a22-----z--4500
008 210309u1916uuuuuuuuu-|-o----u|----|dut-d
035 __ |a (CKB)3440000000000927
245 00 |a VoIP Praxisleitfaden
776 __ |z 3-446-44491-2
776 __ |z 3-446-44814-4
906 __ |a BOOKAuthors, title and other bibliographic information are missing, year and language are wrong.
The publisher Hanser offers libraries much better metadata, therefore I suggest to improve it in the CZ.

Add TGC Books Play Collection
A collection from TGC Books, the largest independent trade publisher of dramatic literature in North America.
The collection includes 18 winners of the Pulitzer Prize in Drama, and also boasts a diverse range of voices which are often overlooked in less contemporary collections.
Our drama students are always looking for newer plays available in a digital format - and with the exception of this collection, the CZ in Alma has most of the collections available from Drama Online. This would be a welcome addition.
Many thanks,
