Improve the Record Quality & Coverage for eResources in the Community Zone
Could you please source full level records for eResources in the Community Zone.
The ability to link to records in the CZ is a great feature but if the records are poor or non-existent then this renders eBooks undiscoverable in Primo and will certainly render FRBRization impossible.

We would like EBBO and ECCO records improved. And U.S. government documents.

Thank you for your feedback.
I hope that this answer is useful to the other people who voted for the idea.
Could you point me to the communications and contact information for the sub group please? Is there a representative from the WHELF consortium? We are a group comprising all Welsh HEIs, Health Libraries and the National Library of Wales so I would expect that we would have a point of contact?
As British Institutions we rely heavily on Dawson and Coutts MyiLibrary purchases so negotiations between yourselves and these companies would be a priority as far as we are concerned.

We appreciate the input on the need to improve the record quality and coverage of resources in the Community Zone and have and will continue to do so.
Below is a (partial) list of sources from which we have improved the quality of bibliographic records:
• CONSER
• ProQuest (Ebrary, EBL)
• Vlebooks
• Casilini
• Skillsoft
• ACLS
• Springer
• Thieme
• Project Muse
• Harvard
• SageEx Libris is also engaged with the Community Zone Management PWG sub group to continually explore means for improving the quality of the content in the Community Zone.
As this is an existing and ongoing process, it is not something which should be handled via this site.
