- 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 full MARC records to CZ for OverDrive and Kanopy
OverDrive and Kanopy collections have recently been added to the Alma Community Zone. We're thrilled at this possibility, as it should help consortium members manage their collections better. However, the brief MARC records are wholly unexpected given that the company provides MARC records to subscribers.
If it is contractually possible, please add the company's MARC records to the CZ for corresponding portfolios, as this will aid in discovery and efficiency for both the consortium and member libraries.
