Idunn open access e-books

We would like to see open access e-books from Universitetsforlaget added as a separate e-collection in Alma CZ. For more details, see this link:
https://www.universitetsforlaget.no/en/boker/apen-tilgang

Note that there are two Idunn e-collections in CZ already:
Idunn.no (all Idunn portfolios)
IDUNN Open Acess Journals

Unit – The Norwegian Directorate for ICT and Joint Services in Higher Education and Research are administering an Open Access collection with journals within the humanities and social sciences. We would like this collection to be included in
Alma's Community Zone.

Name of the collection: 'Norske OA humsam-tidsskrift'

We would love to see MARCIVE's GPO database added to the PCI.

We would like to add LibreTexts vast collection of open educational resources (OER) to CDI: https://libretexts.org/

LibreTexts is home to the largest collection of open educational resources online. Adding this resource to CDI would ensure users have access to OER from across a wide variety of disciplines.

We would like to see a collection for Elsevier Open Access Journals (including coverage statements) in Alma CZ. As is, these titles are activated in the Elsevier autoload collection. However this collection has to be proxied in order to provide our patrons with off-campus access to subscribed content. All Elsevier OA-titles are thus behind institutional log in if accessed via Primo or linkresolver.

Please add Collection for discovery:
Content-Select (preselect media) to enhance german language content (Publishers: Beltz, Kohlhammer, Lambertus, MohrSiebeck)

JDreamⅢ is a STM bibliographic database widely used in Japanese institutions.

Adding this to Summon Index is highly desired.

We would like to add LibreTexts vast collection of open educational resources (OER), including ebooks and course materials bibliographic records added to the Alma CZ: https://libretexts.org/ Then, libraries could add LibreTexts ebooks and course materials to course reserve lists in Alma and Primo.

LibreTexts is home to the largest collection of open educational resources online. Adding LibreTexts ebooks and course materials to the Alma CZ would ensure users have access to OER from across a wide variety of disciplines.

There is currently no discovery for Learning Express. This database is used by all libraries in Texas and should be added to the Community Zone and PCI for indexing and discovery.

In the CZ there is an existing collection (613790000000001601) for the Open Textbook Catalog.

Compared to the MARC records available at https://open.umn.edu/opentextbooks/discovery the CZ collection has fewer titles (651 vs 766 as of 07/13/2020).

Also the CZ bibliographic records are extremely brief and usually have nothing more than a title in the 245 field. The bib records from open.umn.edu are fuller with author, title, publisher, content and summary notes and subject headings.

This request is to ask Exlibris to use the publicly available MARC bib records from the open.umn.edu website to enhance the existing CZ collection.

Thank you.

F-Mesh is a bilingual French/English version of the Medical Subject Headings (Mesh).
We are a French speaking Library network using MARC21. We were very happy to hear that Alma now includes F-Mesh as a subject headings vocabulary. However, as it is available only in UNIMARC, we cannot use it. If you are in the same situation, then don’t hesitate to vote for this Idea!

This e-collection is not available in the CZ. Could this full text resource be added to CKB?

Target/Collection: Ingebook

Provider: Ingebook

URL: www.ingebook.com

Thank you and kind regards

The Pressbooks Directory (https://pressbooks.directory/) indexes over 2000 open access books created by educational institutions. As many of these are not indexed separately, it would be great if the contents of the directory could be included in the Alma Community Zone and/or the Central Discovery Index.

Dear support

Referring to the Salesforce Case 593244 there is a need for a new target for Ebooks in the Tectum E-library.

Therefor I kindly ask you to create a target TECTUM_ELIBRARY

The URL to the collection is the following: http://www.tectum-elibrary.de/

Thank you and kind regards
