- 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.

Add Homosaurus to Alma Authority Vocabularies
We would like to suggest adding Homosaurus, an international LGBTQ+ linked data vocabulary to the authority vocabularies in the resource management configuration. The vocabulary is available at https://homosaurus.org/
Homosaurus has received a lot of traction in the past few years as alternative to LCSH for describing resources about the LGBTQ+ community. We add the terms at present in a 650 _7 $a heading $2 homoit.
Adding Homosaurus to the authority vocabularies would help greatly in on-going authority control, rather than managing locally.

Add Cassyni (https://cassyni.com) which makes academic seminars openly available to CDI
An academic at Imperial College London has co-founded a platform called Cassyni (https://cassyni.com) which makes academic seminars openly available. It'd be very useful if the platform is added to CDI so that individual seminars regarding many journals from major publishers can be discoverable in Primo. To give you some idea what Cassyni is like I posted some links below.
It has partnered with various publishers including Elsevier, Cambridge University Press, Springer Nature and Royal Society to run seminar series for journals e.g.:
https://cassyni.com/s/jcp
https://cassyni.com/s/fmws
https://cassyni.com/s/naturewaterAll published seminars receive a DOI e.g.:

Add Lived Places Publishing ebook collection to Community Zone
We have recently purchased the ebook frontlist from a new publisher, Lived Places Publishing. So that we can quickly provide access to these books, we want them to be loaded into Alma's Community Zone. The publisher has begun this process with Ex Libris but I would like to express interest in seeing this collection be expedited.

We added a zero-title database to the knowledgebases
AMNESTY_INTERNATIONAL_REPORTS (dbid: ANSVJ), collection ID 615400000000000620.
The provider was not responsive so we are unable to create a collection with titles or a CDI package.

Hello,
I previously submitted a request for this provider to be loaded into the community zone (case 06660914), but it was closed due to no timeline being reached. Since some time has passed, I hope to try again and see if the content can be loaded into the community zone. The main contact remains David Parker (david@livedplacespublishing.com).
