We would like to see open access e-books from Universitetsforlaget added as a separate e-collection in Alma CZ. For more details, see this link:
https://www.universitetsforlaget.no/en/boker/apen-tilgang

Note that there are two Idunn e-collections in CZ already:
Idunn.no (all Idunn portfolios)
IDUNN Open Acess Journals

We would like to add LibreTexts vast collection of open educational resources (OER) to CDI: https://libretexts.org/

LibreTexts is home to the largest collection of open educational resources online. Adding this resource to CDI would ensure users have access to OER from across a wide variety of disciplines.

Many academic libraries are using this product. It would be good to have integrated into discovery systems.

British Columbia Open Textbook
currently 327 titles

MARC records
https://bceln.ca/services-initiatives-resource-sharing-bc-open-textbook-marc

In the CZ there is an existing collection (613790000000001601) for the Open Textbook Catalog.

Compared to the MARC records available at https://open.umn.edu/opentextbooks/discovery the CZ collection has fewer titles (651 vs 766 as of 07/13/2020).

Also the CZ bibliographic records are extremely brief and usually have nothing more than a title in the 245 field. The bib records from open.umn.edu are fuller with author, title, publisher, content and summary notes and subject headings.

This request is to ask Exlibris to use the publicly available MARC bib records from the open.umn.edu website to enhance the existing CZ collection.

Thank you.

Can the metadata be acquired from the provider and added to the index?

It is crucial for us to monitor CKB release notes to ensure that collection activations are appropriately revised in response to changes. At present, the only way to monitor the notes is by RSS feed, which is cumbersome -- it is very easy to miss changes with only RSS feed updates. Please add other means of monitoring these changes, such as subscribing to the release notes by email.
