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?
89 votesDear Alex,
Thanks for the clarification.
Let me take it internally and check what we can do.

New Database Request - Wiley:Jisc Collections:Wiley Read and Publish Open Access 2024-2025 Reading List - 360 KB
A new Jisc agreement has been released for Wiley Journals covering 2024-2025. We therefore need a new database in 360 KB to reflect the current collection and replace the now out-of-date database that covered the 2020-2023 agreement [Wiley:Jisc Collections:Wiley Jisc Read and Publish Open Access Agreement 2020-2023 (reading list) ACPOU]
Master list can be obtained via the KB+ Exports Page:
https://www.kbplus.ac.uk/kbplus7/publicExport/pkg/3227We also need article-level linking. ACPOU has article level linking in place and the platform has not changed so the same linking principles should still apply.

CDI collection for Elsevier Open Access articles
Could you please add a CDI database only collection with links in record for Elsevier open access articles?
There is no longer an Elsevier open access knowledge base collection https://ideas.exlibrisgroup.com/forums/574345-content/suggestions/43048611-add-elsevier-open-access-collection-to-alma-cz
And I think this would work better as a CDI collection given how many OA articles there are in hybrid journals.
For example, 76,000 archival articles were made open as the result of a large United States Library consortia agreement:
https://scholarlykitchen.sspnet.org/2022/03/16/retroactively-open-elsevier-backflips-for-nerl-agreement/And these OA articles should be more easily discoverable via a dedicated CDI link in record collection.
