Projectr Edu
Please add Projectr Edu collection(s) to the knowledge bases as well as MARC records for the titles. Projectr Edu is a streaming video platform for libraries from Grasshopper Films. It contains close to 1,000 films. They're adding new titles very frequently so it would need to be updated regularly. Contact info: info@projectr.tv and Ryan Krivoshey ryan@grasshopperfilm.com There may need to be collection variations by geographic region due to rights restrictions.

Policy Commons
Please ingest as a CDI "link in record" database the various Policy Commons modules on this page: https://policycommons.net/modules/
We are particularly interested in "Global Think Tanks", but all should be added.
Also note that while I expect this would be a new provider, there is already an idea with a status of "planned" for Africa Commons, from the same provider, Coherent Digital.
Thank you!

Index Artist Profile
I'd like to propose that the journal 'Artist Profile' be indexed directly from the provider. Artist Profile is an essential journal for arts researchers in Australia, and it would be very valuable to have it be discoverable in our system rather than having users having to search directly in their website.
