Naxos Music Library - U.S. CDI collections
Some of the content in the CDI collections for Naxos Music Library, Naxos Music Library Jazz, and Naxos Music Library - World are not available in the United States due to copyright restrictions. OCLC has separate collections in WorldShare Manager for NML content that is available to U.S. subscribers. I am requesting that similar collections be added to CDI that contain only the records for content U.S. subscribers can access.
6 votesHello,
We will check with Naxos if they can provide a separate feed for their collections that are suitable for U.S customers only.

CDI collection for Elsevier Open Access articles
Could you please add a CDI database only collection with links in record for Elsevier open access articles?
There is no longer an Elsevier open access knowledge base collection https://ideas.exlibrisgroup.com/forums/574345-content/suggestions/43048611-add-elsevier-open-access-collection-to-alma-cz
And I think this would work better as a CDI collection given how many OA articles there are in hybrid journals.
For example, 76,000 archival articles were made open as the result of a large United States Library consortia agreement:
https://scholarlykitchen.sspnet.org/2022/03/16/retroactively-open-elsevier-backflips-for-nerl-agreement/And these OA articles should be more easily discoverable via a dedicated CDI link in record collection.

Brepolis Library of Latin Texts [formerly Library of Latin Texts A, B]
Requesting CZ content for Brepolis Library of Latin Texts [formerly Library of Latin Texts A and B, merged by provider in 2021].
Library of Latin Texts A [collection ID: 613790000000000926) and Library of Latin Texts B [collection ID: 613790000000000922) contain outdated links and have not been updated since 2021. Metadata for both was poorer quality than what was supplied by vendor.
A customer-contributed collection (Univ. of Western Australia) for Library of Latin Texts (collection ID: 61665968760007861) results in errors for about 100 records upon activation.
5 votesHello,
For enrichment we will need to sign an agreement with the provider, so it might take some time.
Nonetheless, we will reach out to Brepols and ask for an updated title list for these two collections.
Regarding the contributed collection, it is managed by the contributing library. Feel free to reach out directly to them in order to communicate the necessary changes eres-lib@uwa.edu.au.

Create new/separate automatic holdings collections for Taylor & Francis
I'd love to make use of the new Taylor & Francis automatic holdings feature, but the collections it points to are collections that we are already using. For certain providers, I prefer to use automatic holdings as a "back-up" to my own management. The "Taylor & Francis eBooks Complete" is the collection that the GOBI API uses. I'm also already using the "Taylor & Francis Current Content Access" for another reason. Springer and Wiley both have separate autoholdings collections. Could separate collections also be created for Taylor & Francis? Thanks!
