← 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.

    Already Supported  ·  AdminRael Elstein (Product Manager, Ex Libris) responded

    Hello,

    The following collections are already supported in our products:
    - Safari Business Books Online
    - Safari Tech Books Online

    We are currently working on the ingestion of the O’Reilly Safari Learning Platform as well.

    If there are any missing ProQuest collections, please kindly submit a Support Case rather than an Idea.

    Best,
    Rael

  5. Add to the Proquest Aquatic Science Journals Collection

    Proceedings from the 2010 AGU Ocean Sciences Meeting is part of the Proquest Aquatic Science Journals collection (which we have a local subscription to).

    However, there's no portfolio for this journal in the CZ, so Primo isn't indexing this correctly.

    I'd like for this journal to be added to the CZ collection.

  6. Add Sage Premier 2018 and Sage Deep Backfile Upgrade 2018 packages

    Please add these packages ASAP. We'd like to see these new title packages at the beginning of a new calendar year. As it is, we either need to take the time to create a local package or we leave our users without accurate holding info. This is not the time-saving we're supposed to realize with the Alma CZ.

  7. Index results from DataCite search

    Open Data is a new field of emerging research sources. As at the DataCite seach website (https://search.datacite.org ) we can seek datasets on varied subjects, or by entering a DOI such as 10.18170/DVN/45LCSO to locate a specific dataset. Also does Google have the right results.

    Summon doesn't index these results for now. I sugget Summon do it, or users would know them by reading the very articles citing the datasets.

  8. Add 2018 Community Zone collection for ProQuest Arts Premium, SciTech Premium and Social Science Premium collections

    We have renewed our subscriptions to the following three collections:

    ProQuest Arts Premium
    ProQuest SciTech Premium
    Social Science Premium

    However, when we look in the Community Zone for suitable collections, the most recent ones are from 2016. In this time, the number of titles in these packages have grown significantly and now the CZ collections fall short by 800 titles for Arts Premiums and thousands 4000 titles for both SciTech and Social Science Premium. It is to large a task to put these remaining titles into these collections manually.

    I would request that you create new 2018 Community Zone collections…

  10. Periodicals Archive Online

    ProQuest's Periodicals Archive Online has some rich metadata for journal articles that would be a valuable addition to the PCI.

    For example:
    Dahl, R.A. 1957, "The Concept of Power", Behavioral science, vol. 2, no. 3, pp. 201

    There is no metadata present in the PCI but Proquest have full details (Proquest document ID - 1301269515) and would enhance our use of this resource if it existed in Primo.

    In the event that you would like to elaborate on the requested metadata for discovery, please feel free to resubmit a new Idea.

  15. finish indexing International Journal of Mass Emergencies and Disasters (IJMED) articles

    Only 26 IJMED (ISSN 0280-7270) articles are indexed in Summon. It would be invaluable to be able to access all 24 years' worth of articles through Summon.

  18. taylor and francis

    Currently in Primo Central the only available resource collection for Taylor and Francis journal content is 'Taylor & Francis Journals - Online'. Could more granular resource collections be made available (as occurs at journal title level in the Alma Community Zone collections) reflecting the different subject areas?
