EMBOpress
Hello,
Beginning this year, EMBO Journal ISSN 0261-4189, along with all other journals published by EMBOpress, left Wiley to Springer Nature. However, the journal is only published through cooperation with Springer Nature and not on the Springer Nature platform. Currently in ExLibris, there is no appropriate database for this journal. There are plenty of Wiley databases that remain. However, because this journal is no longer published through Wiley, I would rather not use those holdings. My question/idea is, can you please create a provider for EMBOpress, which would include EMBO Journal and all other journals published through EMBOpress?

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.
