← 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.

  2. Add University of Toronto Press eBook collection

    Hello, can you please work with the University of Toronto Press to add an eBook collection for the Press? There is an existing collection for "University of Toronto Press" (Collection ID: 611000000000001593), but it only contains journals. There are over 7,000 ebooks available on the platform, but I could not locate any titles in the CZ that direct to the platform.

    Thanks,

    Kevin

  7. 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.

With an intuitive A-Z index and unique affiliations section (e.g., Tribe of Levi, Genealogy of Jesus), the site helps users uncover connections and context. Detailed profiles include interactive timelines, relationship charts, and scripture references, perfect for researchers, Bible study groups, students, pastors, and casual readers. Built on open data and completely free, it inspires through stories of wisdom and faith. I hope you'll add content…

  18. 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…
