← Have an idea for Ex Libris?

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).


How to increase your idea's visibility and get more votes:
  1. Check if your idea has already been posted and vote for it before posting a new idea.
  2. 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.
  3. Add a direct link to the provider/resource you suggest, and a contact person if possible.
  4. For enrichment requests add the relevant collection ID(s). 
  5. Make sure you mention any specific added value your idea has to the community such as language or supporting diversity.
  6. Did you find errors in an existing collection? please open a case.
  7. 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.


The categories for new content ideas are:
  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. Other - for non provider specific ideas

How can we improve Content?

You've used all your votes and won't be able to post a new idea, but you can still search and comment on existing ideas.

There are two ways to get more votes:

  • When an admin closes an idea you've voted on, you'll get your votes back from that idea.
  • You can remove your votes from an open idea you support.
  • To see ideas you have already voted on, select the "My feedback" filter and select "My open ideas".
(thinking…)

Enter your idea and we'll search to see if someone has already suggested it.

If a similar idea already exists, you can support and comment on it.

If it doesn't exist, you can post your idea so others can support it.

Enter your idea and we'll search to see if someone has already suggested it.

  3. Create new/separate automatic holdings collections for Taylor & Francis

    I'd love to make use of the new Taylor & Francis automatic holdings feature, but the collections it points to are collections that we are already using. For certain providers, I prefer to use automatic holdings as a "back-up" to my own management. The "Taylor & Francis eBooks Complete" is the collection that the GOBI API uses. I'm also already using the "Taylor & Francis Current Content Access" for another reason. Springer and Wiley both have separate autoholdings collections. Could separate collections also be created for Taylor & Francis? Thanks!

  5. "Database for Research Thesis Catalog of Japanese Literature" for discovery

    "Database for Research Thesis Catalog of Japanese Literature（国文学論文目録データベース）" is a union catalog database of research papers on Japanese literature.

    https://ronbun.nijl.ac.jp/kokubun

    This database includes information on research papers on Japanese literature, Japanese language studies, and Japanese language education.

    It would be helpful for researchers if Ex Libris discovery included this database as a search target.

    AdminTamar Ganor (Admin, Ex Libris) responded

    Hello,

    We currently don't have a metadata feed for DROPS, so this will be managed as a request for a "new provider".

    This will be evaluated with the Content Working Group, and decided upon next NERS round.


    Kind regards,

    Tamar Ganor

  8. Lamyline

    In 360 Core, Lamyline.fr exists since 18/10/2016 but has not been updated since 21/06/2018. And only 32% of the content is indexed in the CDI.
    Could you update this resource in 360 Core and the CDI ?

  11. Add "ACS Symposium Series eBooks - Archives" to CZ

    Could you please add the "ACS Symposium Series eBooks - Archives" as a collection in the Alma Community Zone knowledge base?

    Currently there's an "American Chemical Society Symposium Series" collection in the CZ which includes backfile and front file titles.

    Since my library only owns the archival collection, I have to select only those titles in the larger Symposium CZ collections since there's no separate archive collection.

    The archival collection has a 4 year moving wall where it gains a new year of titles annually.

    Thank you.
