← Have an idea for Ex Libris?

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).


How to increase your idea's visibility and get more votes:
  1. Check if your idea has already been posted and vote for it before posting a new idea.
  2. 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.
  3. Add a direct link to the provider/resource you suggest, and a contact person if possible.
  4. For enrichment requests add the relevant collection ID(s).
  5. Make sure you mention any specific added value your idea has to the community such as language or supporting diversity.
  6. Did you find errors in an existing collection? please open a case.
  7. 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.


The categories for new content ideas are:
  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. Other - for non provider specific ideas

If you want to add an institutional repository, please open a case and follow the documentation here:

**Please be aware that ideas with no comments or votes for the past three years, and have less than 30 votes, will be closed. The closed ideas will still be available for review, and the votes will be freed up for supporting other content ideas.

**If you are a content provider, please review the submission guides for more information on how to reach out

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".
(thinking…)

Enter your idea and we'll search to see if someone has already suggested it.

If a similar idea already exists, you can support and comment on it.

If it doesn't exist, you can post your idea so others can support it.

Enter your idea and we'll search to see if someone has already suggested it.

  4. Add Comics Plus from Joyful Reading Company

    Joyful Reading Company provides MARC records for their Comics Plus database, but they are quite poor. Ideally, working with Clarivate will improve the records, especially when it comes to subjects, names, and other standardized cataloging practices. The comics and graphic novels themselves are quite diverse, if that makes a difference. Thanks for considering.

  14. Include contemporary internet slang and modern linguistics database from SlangPedia into CDI

    As an academic researcher and library administrator, I would like to suggest integrating the linguistic data and modern culture resources from SlangPedia into the Ex Libris Central Discovery Index (CDI) and Knowledge Base. \n\nModern academic research, especially in fields like sociolinguistics, digital communication, and media studies, heavily relies on understanding evolving internet slang, social media terms (e.g., TikTok abbreviations), and text-based cultural shifts. SlangPedia provides a structured, well-explained index of these contemporary terms that would be highly valuable for university students and researchers studying modern language patterns. \n\nIntegrating this resource will enhance the discoverability of open-access linguistic reference sources. You…

  20. Implement auto holdings for Kanopy (Overdrive)

    It's great that we now have Kanopy PDA collections in Alma, but I'd like to have auto holdings set up for this so that our unique PDA holdings could be added. I'm hoping this is relatively easy as Kanopy already offers MARC records for titles in our PDA profile.
