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

Break up IBISWorld into sub-collections
The existing IBISWorld collection (IBISWorld Alma ID 6113915960000041 DBID 6EY) is for the entire platform, but many customers license only a subset of that content. The smaller IBISWorld collections in the CZ are not connected to a CDI DB and they aren't complete (e.g., there's no collection for the Ontario Provincial Reports). Please make more subset collections and CDI DBs for them.
4 votesHello,
We will reach out to the provider and ask for the metadata for the sub-collections.We will also look into mapping them to CDI.

We are experiencing issues with the title list, but we cannot confirm the information with the provider.
If you have a contact person with which we can review the title list issues, it would be very helpful if you could add it as a comment or directly via email

Add Archives Unbound constituent collections to Alma
The Archives Unbound database is link in record. There are more than 200 collections within the database and we own only some of them. We have not enabled CDI for Archives Unbound because there would be too many false positives in Primo search results. As it stands, content in Archives Unbound is not discoverable for our users in Primo.
Can you add the constituent collections as separate databases or as portfolios in the Archives Unbound collection? That way, we would be able to activate them for CDI and our users could discover them in Primo. Note that something similar has…3 votesHello,
It appears we are still missing two collections:
- Archives of the Work Projects Administration and Predecessors, 1933-1943
- Food History: Printed and Manuscript Recipe Books, 1669-1990
We are working with Gale to add these missing databases.

Request the improvement of user experience for "lancet"
Currently, as per the design of 360 Link, the title is changed to "Lancet" and ISSN is removed if the title contains "lancet" and ISSN is 0099-5355 (for North America) or 0140-6736 (for British).
Because of this design, users need to select an exact title from a large number of suggested journal titles on the 360 Link from PubMed on their own.
This is because the setting to every related title of "lancet" is set "lancet " as the alternative title.
This design sometimes helps the user experience, but the negative impact is also huge for the user.So we…
