We welcome your ideas for new content (metadata) to add to the Knowledge Bases (KBs - Alma CZ, SFX, 360) and Discovery services (CDI - Central Discovery Index whose data supports Primo and Summon).
- Check if your idea has already been posted and vote for it before posting a new idea.
- Choose the right category: "New Provider" for content from a provider that has no available content in the KBs or CDI, or "Existing Provider" for content from a provider that already has content available in the KBs or CDI.
- Add a direct link to the provider/resource you suggest, and a contact person if possible.
- For enrichment requests add the relevant collection ID(s).
- 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

Add Trove: Pictures, Photos, Objects to Discovery
The 'Pictures' zone of the National Library of Australia's Trove service serves descriptions and (where possible) thumbnail images of pictures and objects held in Australian libraries and museums, as well as curated images of Australian history and life from Flickr. This would be incredibly valuable to Australian Ex Libris subscribers as well as anyone studying Australian history and culture, and would complement the New Zealand image collection that is currently indexed.

Trove staff seem to be happy to work with other institutions to expose Australian material to a wider audience. Trove metadata is set up to be able to…

Add "ACS Symposium Series eBooks - Archives" to CZ
Could you please add the "ACS Symposium Series eBooks - Archives" as a collection in the Alma Community Zone knowledge base?
Currently there's an "American Chemical Society Symposium Series" collection in the CZ which includes backfile and front file titles.
Since my library only owns the archival collection, I have to select only those titles in the larger Symposium CZ collections since there's no separate archive collection.
The archival collection has a 4 year moving wall where it gains a new year of titles annually.
Thank you.
