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?
119 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,

NERS 2021 - Pressbooks Directory
The Pressbooks Directory (https://pressbooks.directory/) indexes over 2000 open access books created by educational institutions. As many of these are not indexed separately, it would be great if the contents of the directory could be included in the Alma Community Zone and/or the Central Discovery Index.

Enrich metadata from vendor Editions ENI in the Alma CZ
The ebook records in the e-collection "Bibliotheque numerique ENI" have currently brief level 3. So generally only ISBNs, publication year and title in their metadata. This is not enough to provide optimal discovery experience for users.
We would like to ask you to enrich the metadata and enhance the brief level. We are also in contact with the publisher and will post here any feedback from their side.
33 votesHello,
We have an agreement in place, and are planning to proceed with enrichment by end of June 20024.

Editorial Tirant lo Blanch
Editorial Tirant lo Blanch (https://editorial.tirant.com/es) is one of the main Law content providers in Spanish. The majority of the academic institutions are their customer.
They produced databases, journals and books, and host them in their platforms (called Tirant Online, Biblioteca Tirant and Nube de Lectura). It would be very interesting to be able to index their contents.
Adding their resources in the CDI would be very beneficial for all academic institutions studying Spanish Law.

Add two Wiley Digital Archives ebook collections
This is a request to add the following Wiley Digital Archives ebook collections:
1) Environmental Science and History
2) Royal Geographic Society.Thank you so much.
Best Regards,

Department of Metadata Services, University of Toronto4 votesHello,
Wiley responded that the Environmental Science and History (ENV) collection is scheduled for completion in Spring 2024, we will add that collection then.
Regarding the Royal Geographical Society, the metadata will be provided not directly by Wiley but by a 3rd party so it requires some legal clarification.
In the meantime, we have created two zero title databases to activate for this request:
dbid: RPVOM - WILEY_DIGITAL_ARCHIVES_ROYAL_GEOGRAPHICAL_SOCIETY_PART_I
dbid: APJRU - WILEY_DIGITAL_ARCHIVES_ROYAL_GEOGRAPHICAL_SOCIETY_PART_IIKind regards,

Sustainable Development Goals Online from Taylor and Francis CDI collection
Please could SDGO be added as a collection in the CDI? This is a collection of mainly articles and book chapters, and so the contents cannot be activated through portfolios in the Alma CZ.
https://www.taylorfrancis.com/sdgo/3 votesHello,
We have received the mapping for the discovery metadata for the general SDGO collection, and it will be added by November 2023.
Please be advised that currently there is no way for us to map the SDGO sub-collections, because the chapters and articles CDI metadata does not contain any tags to match them to the sub-collections.

New Database Request - Taylor and Francis Read and Publish 2024-2025 Social Sciences and Humanities Reading List - 360 KB
A new Jisc agreement has been released for Taylor and Francis Journals covering 2024-2025. We therefore need a new database in 360 KB to reflect the current collection and replace the now out-of-date database that covered the 2021-2023 agreement [Taylor & Francis:Jisc Collections:Transformative Agreement 2021-2023:Social Sciences and Humanities Collection (Reading list) AEZRU]
We also need article-level linking. AEZRU has article level linking in place and the platform has not changed so the same linking principles should still apply.

We are planning to add this collection by end of June 2024.
