← 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. The ideas for new providers will be annually prioritized via the CERV process.
  3. Other - for non provider specific ideas

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

**Please be aware that ideas with no comments or votes for the past three years, and have less than 30 votes, will be closed. The closed ideas will still be available for review, and the votes will be freed up for supporting other content ideas.

**If you are a content provider, please review the submission guides for more information on how to reach out

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.

  3. Add General history of Africa, XI: global Africa today

    Hello,
    We had a request for the a few volumes of UNESCO's "General History of Africa" to be added to Alma.

    General history of Africa, IX: General history of Africa revisited
    DOI: https://doi.org/10.54678/LHRT2470
    ISBN: 978-92-3-100809-2

    General history of Africa, X: Africa and its diasporas
    DOI: https://doi.org/10.54678/IHFW3136
    ISBN: 978-92-3-100637-1

    General history of Africa, XI: global Africa today
    DOI: https://doi.org/10.54678/YRPF7307
    ISBN: 978-92-3-100811-5

    While they are surprisingly not available in an UNESCO collection in Alma I was able find the first two titles listed above in the collection JSTOR All Research Reports (Collection ID: 616210000000000009).

    Unfortunately, I can't seem to find volume XI…

  4. Enhance Projectr MARC records

    Hello,
    I would like to request that the MARC records for the following collection be enhanced with Grasshopper Films help.

    Collection Name: Projectr University
    Collection ID: 61545177750000041
    Interface name: Grasshopper Films

    The MARC records for Projectr in Alma are less robust than the records we can pull from our Projectr admin site and we would love for the records to be updated.

    Here is our contact at Grasshopper Films who is aware of the situation.
    Ryan Krivoshey ryan@grasshopperfilm.com

  8. Add collection for PALCI Ebook Central Subscription

    Hi, can you add a dedicated Ebook Central PALCI collection to the Alma CZ? There is already the "Ebook Central PALCI/SAGE EBA" collection (Collection ID: 614940000000000191) for Sage titles but there does not appear to be one for non-Sage titles.

    There are five individual collections recommended for activation in the Proquest PALCI ebooks Libguide: https://proquest.libguides.com/PALCI/ebooks

    Ebook Central Academic Complete (614200000000000002)

    Ebook Central e-Libro Premium (613790000000001515)
    Ebook Central Reference Research (614330000000000083)
    Ebook Central University Press (614330000000000093)

  12. Collection request - LWW Total Access Collection - Archive through 2020

    We recently purchased an archive journal collection from Ovid coded LTOT-20-A24 - LWW Total Access Collection - Archive through 2020. There does not appear to be a collection corresponding to it in the Community Zone - we would appreciate if it was added to the CZ! I'm attaching a title and coverage list.

    Under Review  ·  AdminTamar Ganor (Admin, Ex Libris) responded

    Hello,

    We will reach out to Ovid, and ask for the metadata for this collection.

    We do not rely on title lists provided by libraries, as this approach does not support an automated update process and would make it difficult to maintain the collection over time.

    Thanks,

  13. Add 1.2 million historic U.S. Government publications

    The US Government Publishing Office (GPO) announced newly available gov docs (link below and attached as a PDF). The press release says "The new records come from the Monthly Catalog of U.S. Government Publications, often called “MoCat.” They were converted from the print catalogs to a searchable form and freely licensed to the public by Proquest, part of Clarivate."

    This is in reference to the previous post about History Makers from 2023. Since the burden of manually loading MARC records for the collection remains, and since it has been over three years when you last reached out to the provider, would you kindly look into the feasibility of adding title-level metadata and electronic service to the History Makers CZ database?
