CDI collection for Elsevier Open Access articles
Could you please add a CDI database only collection with links in record for Elsevier open access articles?
There is no longer an Elsevier open access knowledge base collection https://ideas.exlibrisgroup.com/forums/574345-content/suggestions/43048611-add-elsevier-open-access-collection-to-alma-cz
And I think this would work better as a CDI collection given how many OA articles there are in hybrid journals.
For example, 76,000 archival articles were made open as the result of a large United States Library consortia agreement:
https://scholarlykitchen.sspnet.org/2022/03/16/retroactively-open-elsevier-backflips-for-nerl-agreement/And these OA articles should be more easily discoverable via a dedicated CDI link in record collection.

Add target specifically for EBSCO Environment - Core coverage only
There is only 1 target for this database in SFX KB ( EBSCOHOSTENVIRONMENTCOMPLETE ) and it includes titles with both "Core" and "Priority" coverage. "Core" coverage refers to sources which are indexed and abstracted in their entirety (i.e. cover to cover), while "Priority" coverage refers to sources which include only those articles which are relevant to the field."
Can you create a new target that includes only the "Core" titles with complete coverage? Or remove the "Priority" titles from the existing target? I have attached a title list with the Core/Priority category in the first column. We don't…

New Database Request - Taylor and Francis Read and Publish 2024-2025 Social Sciences and Humanities Reading List - 360 KB
A new Jisc agreement has been released for Taylor and Francis Journals covering 2024-2025. We therefore need a new database in 360 KB to reflect the current collection and replace the now out-of-date database that covered the 2021-2023 agreement [Taylor & Francis:Jisc Collections:Transformative Agreement 2021-2023:Social Sciences and Humanities Collection (Reading list) AEZRU]
We also need article-level linking. AEZRU has article level linking in place and the platform has not changed so the same linking principles should still apply.
2 votesHello,
We are planning to add this collection by end of June 2024.
