Content
Your feedback matters to us. Help us to extend our discovery indexes, KnowledgeBases and Community Zone by telling us what collections and data you’d like to see us add, using the message areas below. You can also support something already posted.
If you are suggesting new content for Discovery that is not yet in the Knowledgebase you do not need to submit two entries (one for Discovery and one for Knowledgebase)
Specifically you can suggest:
• New collections for Discovery (Primo Central and Summon)
• New collections for the Knowledgebase (Alma CZ, SFX KB and 360 KB)
• New authority files to be added to the Community Zone
• Enrichment of Community Zone bibliographic records for certain collections
We would love to be able to respond to every idea that is submitted, but this is not feasible. We are, however, committed to responding to the most popular ideas—those that have received the most points.
For more information please review our FAQ and guidelines. Thank you.

PCI / CDI: Please make sure that Open Access archives are really OA
In Primo Central Index / Central Discovery Index, some archives are incorrectly referred to as Open Access.
Please check the availability of documents in Open Access archives with "Link in record". If these archives sometimes also contain blocked documents or only title pages, tables of contents or abstracts, please split these archives into several collections, e.g. Open Access and Restricted Access.
Records which link only to title pages, tables of contents or abstracts should not appear in Open Access collections with "Link in record".
Example:
Open Access LMU (https://epub.ub.uni-muenchen.de)
Auf "Open Access LMU" finden Sie 64725 verzeichnete Publikationen…95 votes -
