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.
- Other - for non provider specific ideas

Add Thoth Open Access collection as a Community Zone
This is a request to add the collection of Diamond OA publications in Thoth (http://www.thoth.pub/) as a Community Zone collection.
Thoth contains a steadily growing collection of OA publications from scholar-led publishers such as punctum books, Open Book Publishers, meson press, mediastudies.press, and African Minds, and we have been working with UC Santa Barbara Library to make it more accessible to libraries worldwide.
Creating a dedicated Community Zone would substantially increase access to these OA publishers.

We will reach out to Thoth (with the address provided in the comment - thank you!), and will review the available metadata to evaluate our options.

Add DigiZeitschriften to PCI / CDI
We would like to see the journal platform DigiZeitschriften added to PCI / CDI.
For more information, see: https://www.digizeitschriften.de/en/
In Alma there are already 3 Electronic Collections:
- DigiZeitschriften Open Access
- DigiZeitschriften Subscription
- DigiZeitschriften JournalsPlease keep this subdivision in PCI / CDI.
Since this source contains many old journals without ISSN, it would probably be better if the links to the full text came directly from DigiZeitschriften (Primo Link section) to avoid problems with the link resolver (Alma ViewIt).
Thanks in advance!

We are checking if we can add the metadata for discovery as well.

Add the Oregonian newspaper to Primo Central Index
We suggest ingesting article-level content from the Oregonian newspaper to Central Discovery Index (CDI), so that users can search and discover all the subscribed content with one interface. We have historical and current content from the Oregonian, but access to full text articles is limited via the Newspapers Search interface.
It is important to ensure content is available to our users via the discovery systems as this is one of our most used newspapers, focusing on Oregon and the Pacific Northwest.
Thank you for considering our request.
