Make Article-level Linking Immune to Provider Changes in Consortia Collections
At least in the German-speaking market (feel free to comment below if this is true for your country as well!) it is very common for consortia contracts on e-resource collections that the subscription for any title contained in the collection persists even if that title is subject to a provider change. So, typically, at the very beginning of the contract all titles of the particular collection are hosted by one and the same provider and over the time several titles get acquired by other providers without causing them to drop out of the collection - at least in terms of…
224 votesHello,
We’re currently analyzing the various scenarios related to this request, and believe we can implement a solution that will preserve moved titles within collections, rather than removing them.
This solution will be integrated into our collection addition and update workflows. When title lists are picked up by our automated cycle, any title with a URL that differs from the collection’s parser will be assigned a Bulk::BULKdoi parser to accommodate the change.
Developing a separate process to dynamically match and override collection parsers with dedicated ones isn’t feasible at this time, as the complexity and volume of potential matches would require a significantly more advanced logic framework than we currently support.
I will update this idea once I have a clear timeline.
Kind regards,

All MARC records in the Alma Community Zone should be sorted chronologically between MARC fields 500 - 899.
The fact that the MARC fields between 500 and 899 are not sorted chronologically for all Alma Community Zone MARC records makes it difficult for us to use the “Collections” function in Primo.
In the Collections function in Primo, we display the author on the overview page in addition to the title. The author is displayed via a small script in Primo. This script takes the “au” field from the PNX record of the title or, if “au” is not available, the “addau” field and displays the first value from “au” or “addau” in the title overview of the collections.…40 votes -
filtering out book chapters with no meaningful scholarly content
Develop a method for filtering out book chapters with no meaningful scholarly content from CDI (e.g., title page, copyright, acknowledgements, etc.). These tend to glut up search results and confuse library patrons.
For example:
Chapter Title = Acknowledgements

Perlego: Map regional indicators or create regional collections for KBs
The current Perlego collection (YSPEL in 360KB) contains some titles that are not available in certain regions (including the United States). This results in CDI or 360 MARC Updates records for titles our students are not able to access, causing frustration and confusion.
If there are geographical area indicators in the Perlego metadata that relate to where titles are (or are not) available, those indicators should get mapped in discovery so that only available titles are shown based on the customer location.
Or else, make separate region-specific Perlego collections in the KBs, so that libraries can subscribe according to their…

Separate publisher and aggregator collections to filter out unavailable preprints
Publishers are increasingly adding preprints to their collections but aggregators do not add them until they have been fully "published". Because aggregators and publishers share collections on the CDI, it looks as if our aggregator links are broken in the catalogue. If aggregators and publishers provide different levels of access, can the collections be separated to reflect this?
This is important because the preprints tend to be the latest publications and so are in relatively high demand.73 votes

provide a display or report of indexing coverage
it would be great to have a way to look up the coverage dates of indexing for a given journal in CDI. This would help us know when to direct users to other indexing sources.
