- 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.

Add "Intertek Inform" content (formerly SAI Global Standards Australia)
Our patrons search regularly for specific Australian standards in our Primo environment, and experience Zero Results.
We have a Database record, but this is not a good discovery experience when the patron may not know the name of the platform.
This is particularly an issue with the rebranding in January 2024 from SAI Global Standards Australia to Intertek Inform.
Some examples from our analytics data:
AS 2243.4-1998 - Standards Australia
AS/NZS 3921:1998
AS/NZS1680.1
AS1158 wiring rulesPlease add this content to Ex Libris content systems to support ease of discovery.

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.
