Improve the metadata of Dalloz Bibliothèque in CZ and CDI
- Dalloz Bibliothèque
- Collection ID : 613680000000000037
- CDI Collection ID (DB ID): O7M
- Material type : books (currently : 2576)
The quality of the metadata for Dalloz Bibliothèque in the CZ and CDI is extremely poor (sometimes only one title). Please, consider enriching the metadata with those coming from the SUDOC (more complete and of better quality). Enrichment could perhaps be based on the PPN (SUDOC identifier) that you have already injected into the CZ records?

Thanks for the clarification.
Let me take it internally and check what we can do.
Kind regards,

A new Alma CZ authority vocabulary for the Finnish work-authority-file (case 06675712)
A request for new content ASAP, upon ExLibris suggestion (case 06675712): a new Alma CZ authority vocabulary for the Finnish work-authority-file
The National Library of Finland offers a work authority file, which is urgently needed by all Finnish Alma-libraries. As it turns out, it is not possible to add the Finnish work-authority-file into the existing Alma CZ FINAF vocabulary (due to the work-authority records and name-authority records with identical 001 fields). As a workaround, ExLibris SF support suggested (see case 06675712) adding a new Alma CZ authority vocabulary containing only the Finnish work-authority-file.
Hence, we are requesting Ex Libris to…

Add AIATSIS thesauri to the CZ subject authority files
As a cataloguer, I would like to see the AIATSIS thesauri made available in the Community Zone authority files for 6XX subject fields.
BENEFITS
- Make it easier for cataloguers to validate AIATSIS subject headings
- Enable routine review and updates of AIATSIS subject headings through the Authority Control Task List
- Enrich Primo searches for end users, using non-preferred terms (especially synonyms for people and language groups)
- Promote AIATSIS thesauri to Australian libraries
While specific libraries can import and manage AIATSIS subject headings as local authorities, I think this vocabulary should be made available in the CZ authority records, since it is…

Add Lamyline
Lamyline
https://www.lamyline.frThis is a duplicate and enriched idea from : https://ideas.exlibrisgroup.com/forums/574345-content/suggestions/33007996-lamyline which has been closed in 2021.
Access to the continuously updated Lamy publisher documentary collection: the official collection (national and EU official texts, treaties, private law case law, public law case law, European case law, administrative authorities), Lamy books and journals in French.
Lamy is a French publisher that doesn't exist in the KB; however, the company is now part of Kluwer: I hope this still makes it a new publisher for you.
Ideally, for Alma and CDI.
