← 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.
  3. Other - for non provider specific ideas

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

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.

  2. Please add to CDI images from the flickr commons of institutions

    Hello,

    Please consider adding to CDI images from:
    https://www.flickr.com/commons/institutions

    In the CZ there is a database for "Flickr Images" - Collection ID: 6113989190000041, however, it is not CDI.

    The images from libraries and archives that appear in Flickr can be a very useful addition to image format search in CDI.

    Thanks,
    Irit and Dafna

    Biodiversity Heritage Library now offers freely accessible data sets - please see recent announcement here: https://blog.biodiversitylibrary.org/2024/11/bhl-datasets-now-openly-accessible-on-aws-cloud.html

    Could these be added to the CDI if they are not already there?

    The DBID is 79B. Not sure if they should be a separate CDI collection or added to the existing one?

    Thanks.

  18. Automated holdings management for VLeBooks

    Could we please enable automated holdings management for:

    Database name: VLeBooks
    Database code: 38.
    Provider:Askews and Holts Library Services Ltd
    Default URL: http://www.vlebooks.com/

    I have had difficulty activating e-book titles for this provider in the 360 KB, due to metadata inconsistencies.

    ProQuset and Ex Libris Support suggested that the content team and developers are looking for opportunities to extend the support for the "Automated Holdings Updates" process that is now set up for PQ Ebook Central.

    Since there are now similar processes available for Taylor & Francis books and Springer Nature content, would it be possible to enable this process…
