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:

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".

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.

  8. New source for CDI: The Conversation

    The Conversation (https://theconversation.com/) would be a valuable source to add to the CDI and make available in Primo as it provides Academic 'magazine-style' articles, often in multiple languages. There are region/country specific editions of "The Conversation" so this would need to be considered when adding them.

  13. Gale US Declassified Documents Online

    Hello, can Ex Libris please work with Gale to get this collection indexed in CDI? There are ten existing database collection in the CZ, but none have portfolios, and they don't have CDI access. Gale's page for the collection states that there are over 700,000 resources in the collection, so portfolio-level access doesn't seem realistic.

    Thanks,

    Kevin

  18. Add Wolters Kluwer VitalLaw collection

    Could a title level collection be added for VitalLaw, from Wolters Kluwer? VitalLaw is essential for academic law libraries, firms, and cross-displinary studies like business, healthcare, and economics. The VitalLaw platform includes treatises, journals, primary law, and research tools, specializing in the areas of tax, securities, international law, and business law. VitalLaw is widely used alongside Lexis and Westlaw, so I think it should have the same or similar discovery options available. It would be really helpful for my library and many others, I think. Thanks!
