Content
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).
- Check if your idea has already been posted and vote for it before posting a new idea.
- 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.
- Add a direct link to the provider/resource you suggest, and a contact person if possible.
- For enrichment requests add the relevant collection ID(s).
- Make sure you mention any specific added value your idea has to the community such as language or supporting diversity.
- Did you find errors in an existing collection? please open a case.
- 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.
- 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. The ideas for new providers will be annually prioritized via the CERV process.

Enhanced enrichment of Access medicine from McGrawhill
Got this from support:"Access Medicine is provided by McGraw Hill - they are included in the list at https://knowledge.exlibrisgroup.com/Content/Knowledge_Articles/Alma/Knowledge_Articles/Community_Zone_Monograph_Records_Enrichment. We enrich their records when new files become available to us; at this time they don't send us new files on a fixed schedule. If you'd like us to talk with McGraw Hill about enriching/improving the records included in Access Medicine, you can submit a request via the Idea Exchange (http://ideas.exlibrisgroup.com/forums/574345-content)"
In other words, enrichement is already set up but the update schedule can get improved.

Expand Digital Theatre+ CZ collections
Currently there is only the US database for Digital Theatre+ available in the CZ. It would be wonderful to get the other geographic area collections added (Australia in our case), as our subscription includes titles not available in the US. This setup is already present in OCLC WorldShare.

Add a CZ collection for "Lived Places Publishing" Open Access titles
There are several "Lived Places Publishing" collections already in the CZ (and prior Idea Exchange submissions), but these are yearly based purchased collections.
For example: "2024 Lived Places Publishing Library Collection".This submission is specifically for the Open Access titles by this publisher, and ideally this would be maintained ongoing rather than year based.
The current title list: https://livedplacespublishing.com/open-access-titles/

Missing Hanser yearly collections
Hanser used to have thematic yearly collections, but no longer does (e.g. Collection ID: 616180000000000008). The last ones were from 2022. They still sell yearly packages though. Why do they no longer exist and will they be added again?
1 voteHello,
We will reach out to Hanser, and ask for the metadata for this collection.

HathiTrust journal titles not retrieved via Summon/CDI
We are a Summon over Alma library. We have the "HathiTrust Digital Library Full View U.S. Only" collection activated as an electronic collection (Collection ID: 6113938890000041, it is a database and not an aggregator).
When material is searched via Summon, the journals in HathiTrust do not show as available on the Alma Services Page.
Example: Journal Title, The Southern Workman
Currently if this title is searched in Journal titles it shows we have one year from Gale. But Hathi has a handful of years available as well.Alma: https://liberty.alma.exlibrisgroup.com/permalink/01LIBU_INST/ighba7/alma9911577500704916

ARTE Campus - Switzerland
ARTE Campus (https://campus.arte.tv/) is also available in Switzerland. However, due to geographic restrictions, the video selection differs slightly from the French catalog.
The platform offers around 3,000 videos (as of December 2025), with transcriptions in five languages, including documentary series, short films, and recorded programmes and podcasts.
Is it possible to create a specific catalog reflecting the content available in Switzerland?
Their team is ready to provide the list of titles available for Switzerland.6 votes -
Enhancing searchability through original script support for non-latin data
Hi,
currently, the CZ-data in other than latin scripts is often transliterated using the ALA transliteration rules. However, these rules are not used in all regions of the world. This issue concerns mainly the title and authors. Ultimately, the different transliterations make the search for this data very difficult.We suggest that the CZ-data in other than latin scripts should contain the original script as well as the transliteration. If ExLibris could introduce the original script in a linked field 880 as the standard for non-Latin scripts in the CZ, this would be a big advantage for us in the…
