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…
4 votesHello,
VLeBooks is on our list for adding as an autoholdings collection in the next year.
I will update this idea as we reach progress.

EIU Viewpoint - Add content to CDI
There is an EIU Viewpoint database in Alma. Can you ask EIU for metadata to add reports, forecasts, etc. to CDI? Or add portfolios to the collection?
4 votesHello,
We will check with EIU regarding metadata for CDI or to add portfolios for a full text collection.
For CDI metadata we may need to setup an agreement, which can take time. And for a full text collection the records may not have enough metadata to be properly presented in the Knowledgebases.
I will update the idea once I have some information to share.
Kind regards,
