Add DigiZeitschriften to PCI / CDI
We would like to see the journal platform DigiZeitschriften added to PCI / CDI.
For more information, see: https://www.digizeitschriften.de/en/
In Alma there are already 3 Electronic Collections:
- DigiZeitschriften Open Access
- DigiZeitschriften Subscription
- DigiZeitschriften JournalsPlease keep this subdivision in PCI / CDI.
Since this source contains many old journals without ISSN, it would probably be better if the links to the full text came directly from DigiZeitschriften (Primo Link section) to avoid problems with the link resolver (Alma ViewIt).
Thanks in advance!

We are checking if we can add the metadata for discovery as well.
