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!

The only two collections that are missing completely are
- scholars-e-library / Sprachwissenschaft/Anglistik 2020_1
- scholars-e-library / Religion/Theologie - Religionswissenschaft 2020_2
Please confirm if others are represented properly in the KBs (instead of 2020 in two parts 1/2 as mentioned in this list, we received annual 2020 collections from the provider with no breakdown).
We will reach out to the provider to confirm the two missing collections.

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.

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.
