← 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.

  7. Project MUSE - CEU Press Opening the Future

    Project MUSE is hosting the paywalled CEU Press titles under the "CEU Press Opening the Future" program that are made available to supporting libraries. We need a collection for these titles. See here: https://my.lyrasis.org/s/product-details?id=a1BUh000001GT7kMAG and here: https://ceup.openingthefuture.net/

    Ideally this collection would only include the paywalled titles, as the OA titles will be in various OA collections.

    Thanks!

    Hello,

    We will reach out to Project MUSE to request the metadata for this collection.

    At this stage, we are not certain that excluding the open access titles would be the best approach, as it may be more beneficial for the community to have all CEU Press content available within a single collection rather than activating these titles across multiple collections. We will review this internally to ensure alignment with the structure of other Knowledgebase collections.

    Thank you,

    Tamar Ganor

  9. Digital Theatre+: add GBR collection

    It would be helpful for us to have a Community Zone collection for the Digital Theatre+ Great Britain (GBR) collection.

    MARC records are available from: https://marc.digitaltheatreplus.com/
    At the time of writing, the most recent complete MARC file for the collection we hold is: 2026-05/digital-theatre-plus-marc-master-all-gbr-2026-05-01.mrc

    The Community Zone already has collections for two other regional collections from the same provider: "Digital Theatre+ Australia" (611057451930000041) and "Digital Theatre Plus Database US" (6113939040000041).

  12. Indian Political Intelligence Files, 1912–1950

    Please create a database collection in the KBs for the following DeGruyter/Brill resource:
    Indian Political Intelligence Files, 1912–1950
    https://www.degruyterbrill.com/database/ipi/html

    Would it also be possible to add granular metadata for this to the CDI?

    There's current a portfolio for this in the "De Gruyter Databases" CZ collection with "journal" electronic material which doesn't make sense.

    Thanks.

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

    Hello Charlie,

    The policy for De Gruyter/Brill databases is to add them in the De Gruyter Databases collection (Collection ID 614730000000000018).

    This allows management under an umbrella collection for all their databases with a KBART file.

    I will check if we can add them as CDI, and consider changing the material type.

    Kind regards,

    Tamar Ganor

  15. East View Global Press Archive Area Studies Initiative 2026

    Ex Libris's established provider partner, East View, has released the Area Studies Initiative 2026 collection. Our library, as part of the Big Ten Academic Alliance, invested in this collection, and we'd like to activate it in the Community Zone. In past years, we have activated similar collections:

    East View Global Press Archive Area Studies Initiative 2024, 61476607550000041
    East View Global Press Archive Area Studies Initiative 2025, 61820310480000041

    So, we're hopeful East View and Ex Libris will be able to add this one as well. Thank you for helping us with this!

    Hello,

    We have recently introduced the option to create placeholder collections with future activation dates. These collections are now visible in the Knowledgebases, with an expected go-live date of September 2026.

    Once they are activated, I will mark this idea as completed.

    Please note that the last collection for the De Gruyter Society of biblical Literature is scheduled to be released in January 2027.

    Kind regards,
