← 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:

**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.

    Hello,

    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.

    I will update this idea once we make progress.

    Kind regards,

  10. 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:

  17. 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.
