We are working with the provider to review our options, the Knowledgebases do not represent well some of the content types that are included in this collection.

Please add umbrella collections for Adam Matthew AM collections with portfolios
I appreciate that Adam Matthew collections are represented with portfolios in the CZ! But when we subscribed to AM Explorer I had to manually activate 140+ collections. It would be helpful if in addition to the individual collections, there were umbrella collections with portfolios for the packages of category collections Adam Matthew provides, e.g., AM Primary collections, AM Archives Direct collections, AM Scholar collections, and AM Research Skills collections. Also including a portfolio for each container collection would be ideal.
The collections are listed at https://www.amdigital.co.uk/support/collections/marc-records
For brevity, I will give an example of AM Scholar:

Add ProQuest Art & Architecture Archive thematic collections
Please add the ProQuest Art & Architecture Archive Collection thematic collections to the CZ. We subscribe to only the Architecture & Design thematic collection in Art & Architecture Archive.
As a workaround to provide access to this collection, we have selectively activated only the Architecture & Design titles in Art & Architecture Archive Collection 1 and 2 (CID 61262944400007306, 61262944370007306). This workaround is not ideal for us because new titles added to or titles removed from the thematic collection will not be automatically updated for us, and we will have to maintain the title list ourselves.
