← Have an idea for Ex Libris?

We welcome your ideas for new content (metadata) to add to the Knowledge Bases (KBs - Alma CZ, SFX, 360) and Discovery services (CDI - Central Discovery Index whose data supports Primo and Summon).


How to increase your idea's visibility and get more votes:
  1. Check if your idea has already been posted and vote for it before posting a new idea.
  2. Choose the right category: "New Provider" for content from a provider that has no available content in the KBs or CDI, or "Existing Provider" for content from a provider that already has content available in the KBs or CDI.
  3. Add a direct link to the provider/resource you suggest, and a contact person if possible.
  4. For enrichment requests add the relevant collection ID(s).
  5. Make sure you mention any specific added value your idea has to the community such as language or supporting diversity.
  6. Did you find errors in an existing collection? please open a case.
  7. A new year has begun but no corresponding annual collection? post an idea in Idea Exchange, make sure to mention if it is an existing provider.


The categories for new content ideas are:
  1. Existing Provider - if your idea is for a new collection from a provider that already has content available in the KBs and CDI or enriching records for an existing collection, use this category. No voting is necessary, ideas for existing providers will be handled regardless of voting.
  2. New Providers - if your idea is for content from a provider that does not have any content available in the KBs and CDI, choose this category. The ideas for new providers will be annually prioritized via the CERV process.
  3. Other - for non provider specific ideas

If you want to add an institutional repository, please open a case and follow the documentation here:

**Please be aware that ideas with no comments or votes for the past three years, and have less than 30 votes, will be closed. The closed ideas will still be available for review, and the votes will be freed up for supporting other content ideas.

**If you are a content provider, please review the submission guides for more information on how to reach out

How can we improve Content?

You've used all your votes and won't be able to post a new idea, but you can still search and comment on existing ideas.

There are two ways to get more votes:

  • When an admin closes an idea you've voted on, you'll get your votes back from that idea.
  • You can remove your votes from an open idea you support.
  • To see ideas you have already voted on, select the "My feedback" filter and select "My open ideas".
(thinking…)

Enter your idea and we'll search to see if someone has already suggested it.

If a similar idea already exists, you can support and comment on it.

If it doesn't exist, you can post your idea so others can support it.

Enter your idea and we'll search to see if someone has already suggested it.

  3. Cappelen Damm Open Access ebooks

    We request the creation of a separate e-collection in Alma CZ for open access ebooks from Cappelen Damm Forskning. This is the research publishing division of Cappelen Damm Akademisk.

    https://cdforskning.no/cdf/catalog/newReleases
    Via the link above, you can find their academic open access book releases. Many of these books are published in Norwegian, a language we naturally want to promote for our students and researchers.

    Please note that Cappelen Damm Forskning is already a content provider in Alma CZ. The records for their OA ebooks are available through the OAPEN (613450000000000043) and DOAB (613680000000000027) e-collections. Since these records already exist in CZ…

  8. Add Docuseek2 Complete Collection 4th Edition Alexander Street version to Alma CZ

    Docuseek2 makes their films available both on their own Docuseek platform and on the Alexander Street platform. In general, they first make the films available on Docuseek, and then once they work out an agreement with Alexander Street, the films are added to Alexander Street as well. We heard from Docuseek2 that their 4th Edition collection is now available from Alexander Street. However, we don't see a CZ collection for the 4th Edition on Alexander Street. Could Ex Libris and Alexander Street please work together to load a collection for the Docuseek2 4th Edition on Alexander Street? It should parallel…

    Hello,

    could you add Educ'Arte Video as Campus Arte (https://ideas.exlibrisgroup.com/forums/574345-content/suggestions/48797672-add-arte-video-campus) ?

    Many of the titles are similar to the Campus Arte collection, but some titles are only available to school audiences.

    Hello,

    As this is a new provider, we are still working on onboarding their content to the Knowledgebases and CDI.

    We will add this collection to the list we are asking from them, and it would be helpful if you could also mention to the provider that you are interested in adding their metadata to Ex Libris products.

  19. ASM Digital Library Conference Proceedings

    Hello,

    We recently subscribed to the ASM Digital Library's All Access model. There is an Alma database available for this collection (ID: 61585093310000041), but there doesn't appear to be any content included. There are no portfolios attached, and the DBID yields zero results in the CDI.

    Would it be possible to update this collection to include CDI content? Alternatively, it would be helpful to have a collection available that includes the ASM conference proceedings:

    Heat Treating Conference and Exposition: https://dl.asminternational.org/heat-treating/
    International Symposium for Testing and Failure Analysis: https://dl.asminternational.org/ISTFA
    Shape Memory and Superelastic Technologies Conference: https://dl.asminternational.org/shape-memory
    International Thermal Spray Conference: https://dl.asminternational.org/itsc/
