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).


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.
  3. Other - for non provider specific ideas

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

  6. Add TGC Books Play Collection

    A collection from TGC Books, the largest independent trade publisher of dramatic literature in North America.

    The collection includes 18 winners of the Pulitzer Prize in Drama, and also boasts a diverse range of voices which are often overlooked in less contemporary collections.

    Our drama students are always looking for newer plays available in a digital format - and with the exception of this collection, the CZ in Alma has most of the collections available from Drama Online. This would be a welcome addition.

    Many thanks,
    Olivia

  7. Add conference proceedings from the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF)

    ECMWF conference proceedings are open access. Having them indexed in the CDI would be an enormous help and bring together content that is valuable to us and our members.

    An example of one conference they run: https://events.ecmwf.int/event/258/timetable/

  11. Add Atla Press open access books collection

    The open access monograph publishing program was conceived in 2014 as a means of publishing open access books that were relevant to the study and practice of theological librarianship. Currently the mission of the program is publication of open access works on subjects at the intersection of librarianship and religious and theological studies that potentially impact libraries. We seek to provide resources that guide and support innovative library services and enhance professional development. Titles published by Books@Atla Open Press fall within three categories: Scholarly Editions, Association Editions and Reprints.

  14. Directly Index National Council of Teachers of Mathematics

    I asked about article-level records for the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics journals, and was told "Currently we do not have this collection's content directly indexed; instead we rely on aggregators to provide alternative coverage, which may change over time. In order to ensure that the content is available, we recommend submitting a suggestion for direct ingestion via the ExLibris Idea Exchange for content"

    Some articles show up through aggregators, but not all, and it would be good to have all articles show up.
