Break up IBISWorld into sub-collections
The existing IBISWorld collection (IBISWorld Alma ID 6113915960000041 DBID 6EY) is for the entire platform, but many customers license only a subset of that content. The smaller IBISWorld collections in the CZ are not connected to a CDI DB and they aren't complete (e.g., there's no collection for the Ontario Provincial Reports). Please make more subset collections and CDI DBs for them.
4 votesHello,
We will reach out to the provider and ask for the metadata for the sub-collections.We will also look into mapping them to CDI.

Create new/separate automatic holdings collections for Taylor & Francis
I'd love to make use of the new Taylor & Francis automatic holdings feature, but the collections it points to are collections that we are already using. For certain providers, I prefer to use automatic holdings as a "back-up" to my own management. The "Taylor & Francis eBooks Complete" is the collection that the GOBI API uses. I'm also already using the "Taylor & Francis Current Content Access" for another reason. Springer and Wiley both have separate autoholdings collections. Could separate collections also be created for Taylor & Francis? Thanks!

Add Archives Unbound constituent collections to Alma
The Archives Unbound database is link in record. There are more than 200 collections within the database and we own only some of them. We have not enabled CDI for Archives Unbound because there would be too many false positives in Primo search results. As it stands, content in Archives Unbound is not discoverable for our users in Primo.
Can you add the constituent collections as separate databases or as portfolios in the Archives Unbound collection? That way, we would be able to activate them for CDI and our users could discover them in Primo. Note that something similar has…3 votesHello,
It appears we are still missing two collections:
- Archives of the Work Projects Administration and Predecessors, 1933-1943
- Food History: Printed and Manuscript Recipe Books, 1669-1990
We are working with Gale to add these missing databases.

Post additional standard organizations on ASTM platform
ASTM has several standard organizations that we (as customers) can subscribe to. Each of these should have their own community zone collection with CDI.
International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC), International Organization for Standardization (ISO), UNE-EN ISOThere may need to be more than one ISO collection as I'm not sure if all standards are available everywhere regardless of subscription location.

Sustainable Development Goals Online from Taylor and Francis CDI collection
Please could SDGO be added as a collection in the CDI? This is a collection of mainly articles and book chapters, and so the contents cannot be activated through portfolios in the Alma CZ.
https://www.taylorfrancis.com/sdgo/3 votesHello,
We have received the mapping for the discovery metadata for the general SDGO collection, and it will be added by November 2023.
Please be advised that currently there is no way for us to map the SDGO sub-collections, because the chapters and articles CDI metadata does not contain any tags to match them to the sub-collections.
