Please post your idea to add missing content to our products!

Want to increase your idea's visibility and get more votes?
Make sure that you:
  1. Look for an existing idea for your content request and vote for it before posting a new idea
  2. Choose the right category of content (details below)
  3. Add a direct link to the provider/resource you suggest, and a contact person if possible
  4. For enrichment requests add collection ID(s)

  7. A new year has begun but no corresponding annual collection? Please open a case
The categories for new content ideas are:
  1. New collection for Alma CZ/SFX/360 (title level – book, journals, videos, etc.; not suitable for more granular level metadata) 
  2. New collection for Discovery only (already in KBs with any level metadata granular than title such as article, book chapter etc.)
  3. New collection for KBs + Discovery 
  4. New CZ authority file
  5. New CZ enrichment of bib records
  6. New CDI enrichment of article/book chapter records (such as peer review or open access indicators, ORCiD IDs)

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".

  1. Making the peer reviewed icon more accurate

    Articles and journals are marked with the peer reviewed icon in Primo based on information extracted from Ulrichsweb (https://knowledge.exlibrisgroup.com/Ulrich%27s/Product_Documentation/Searching/Ulrichsweb%3A_Peer-Reviewed_Refereed_Journals_and_Academic_Scholarly_Journals).
    The Peer Review indicator can only be set at the journal level at the moment. If a journal is identified as peer reviewed, or refereed in Ulrichsweb, all articles from this journal will be shown with the peer reviewed icon in Primo.
    However, not all articles in such journals are peer reviewed, meaning the icon sends the wrong information to user, and that this label is not reliable. It can further cause users to lose confidence in the system.…

  2. Add Homosaurus to Alma Authority Vocabularies

    We would like to suggest adding Homosaurus, an international LGBTQ+ linked data vocabulary to the authority vocabularies in the resource management configuration. The vocabulary is available at https://homosaurus.org/

    Homosaurus has received a lot of traction in the past few years as alternative to LCSH for describing resources about the LGBTQ+ community. We add the terms at present in a 650 _7 $a heading $2 homoit.

    Adding Homosaurus to the authority vocabularies would help greatly in on-going authority control, rather than managing locally.

  3. Add AIATSIS thesauri to the CZ subject authority files

    As a cataloguer, I would like to see the AIATSIS thesauri made available in the Community Zone authority files for 6XX subject fields.

    BENEFITS

    • Make it easier for cataloguers to validate AIATSIS subject headings
    • Enable routine review and updates of AIATSIS subject headings through the Authority Control Task List
    • Enrich Primo searches for end users, using non-preferred terms (especially synonyms for people and language groups)
    • Promote AIATSIS thesauri to Australian libraries

    While specific libraries can import and manage AIATSIS subject headings as local authorities, I think this vocabulary should be made available in the CZ authority records, since it is…

  5. start enrichment process for Hogrefe eBooks (Hogrefe eLibrary)

    ExLibris created an automation for updates that will run on a weekly basis and will check for any changes made to the title list by Hogrefe Verlag. However, the metadata are rudimentary. We are missing author or editor, place of publication and publisher in the metadata. This makes it difficult to find out the ebooks in Primo VE.

    Hence: could you please start an enrichment process with Hogrefe for their eLibrary eBooks titles?

  7. Springer Nature Open Access Community Zone Electronic Collection

    This is a request to add a single free/open access collection for all Springer Nature free/open access journals. Currently there are 4 community zone collections in Alma with many overlaps:

    SpringerOpen Free - (CKB)613170000000000044

    BioMed Central open Access - (CKB)611000000000000500

    Bacon Springer Nature Global Open Access - (CKB)613780000000000900
    Springer Nature Oa Journals - (CKB)614910000000000075

    We’d like the addition of one single consolidated collection because having the above 4 collections is unnecessarily confusing for students and staff as they currently encounter so many electronic collections for the same journal/article even when different community zone electronic collection links in Primo end up…

    Hello, 


    As you know, Kanopy is now owned by OverDrive. We are currently working with OverDrive and discussing the legal and technical possibilities of ingesting their content, including a conversation about Kanopy. 

    We expect this to be a lengthy process, but can report that it is in progress.

    Hal is one of the most important French open archive. The database offers open access documents directly from the platform and references to documents for which the full text is not available.

    - Hyper Article Online (HAL) (CDI ID 1XC) which covers all the records in HAL.
    Both of the HAL collections are link-in-records databases
    The problem is that it shows as unavailable the records to which we could have gained…

    In the attachment I send you a title list of the collection "Textes littéraires français" from the Publisher Librairie Droz, which should therefore have an appropriate target attached to them. May I kindly ask you to create a target named TEXTESLITTERAIRESFRANCAIS_EBOOKS an attach it to the titles in the attachment?
