← 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.
  3. Other - for non provider specific ideas

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.

  10. CiNii Research for Discovery

    CiNii Research is a japanese database managed by NII.
    https://support.nii.ac.jp/ja/cir/manual_outline

    This database includes not only literature, but also research data, project information, and so on.
    It would be helpful for researchers if Ex Libris discovery included CiNii Research as a search target.

  11. Improve indexing of HAL in CDI

    Hal is one of the most important French open archive. The database offers open access documents directly from the platform and references to documents for which the full text is not available.
    In CDI two collections allow to activate the search on this database.
    - Hyper Article en Ligne (HAL) (Open Access) (ID CDI VOOES) which covers only open access records.
    - Hyper Article Online (HAL) (CDI ID 1XC) which covers all the records in HAL.
    Both of the HAL collections are link-in-records databases
    The problem is that it shows as unavailable the records to which we could have gained…

    Hello,

    Our analysts suggested this can be solved by the following settings:

    1. CDI-only full text activation: Unchecked
    2. CDI search activation status: Active

    That will allow distinguishing Open Access records from records that are not available in full text.

    Please let me know directly if this is not solving the issue

  12. Add Collection from Hanser eLibrary.com

    Support: "Carl Hanser Verlag GmbH & Co. KG does not provide bib records to Central Discovery Index (CDI). 83% of the Hanser eLibrary.com records are covered by alternative sources, but there is still no record from another metadata provider for the eBook. At the moment, keeping the catalog record in CDI seems to be the best way to display the eBook in your Summon. You might want to submit a new content request at Content Idea Exchange for Hanser eLibrary.com."

    Please add the collection.

    Thank you!

  13. Create an Ebook Central Academic Complete specific to North America

    Currently the Ebook Central Academic Complete collection contains contains all titles in the collection regardless of territory restrictions set by the publishers. There are 318 titles which cannot be used in the United States. This is a lot of editing for libraries in the US with this collection. Some other geographic areas have their own collections. Create one for North America or the United States, depending on the geographic restrictions by publishers. If Canada and the United States of America have different restrictions, please separate.

    Hello,

    Thank you for your contribution!

    Currently the ProQuest EBook Central offerings do not include a North America specific collection that we can represent in the Alma CZ.
    We suggest that you consider utilizing the Upload Electronic Holdings feature in Alma which will automatically manage and maintain all of your Ebook Central holdings based on your acquisitions directly from ProQuest including representation of territorial rights. This will ensure that you are automatically activating only the titles available for your institution, for all of your Ebook Central content.

    For more information on this see our Knowledge Center documentation. Search for “Upload Electronic Holdings from ProQuest Ebook Central” under the Alma product.

    We would also like to kindly remind that any requests for ProQuest content do not need to go through the Idea Exchange platform. You can simply submit a Support Case for these requests.

    Best,
    Rael

  14. Add Films on Demand's Feature Films for Education collection to Alma's CZ.

    Please add the Feature Films for Education collection from Infobase to the CZ in Alma. It currently has over 600 portfolios and should not be added as a database (as many of the current FoD collections are).

  20. Add an independent collection to the journals of NCTM; National Council of Teachers of Mathematics.

    The journals are part of the "Single Journals" collection, and since they are sold as a package, it is very difficult to handle the order and payment when the journals do not have a separate package.
