- Add a direct link to the provider/resource you suggest, and a contact person if possible.
- For enrichment requests add the relevant collection ID(s).
- Make sure you mention any specific added value your idea has to the community such as language or supporting diversity.
- Did you find errors in an existing collection? please open a case.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.

ARTE Campus - Switzerland
ARTE Campus (https://campus.arte.tv/) is also available in Switzerland. However, due to geographic restrictions, the video selection differs slightly from the French catalog.
The platform offers around 3,000 videos (as of December 2025), with transcriptions in five languages, including documentary series, short films, and recorded programmes and podcasts.
Is it possible to create a specific catalog reflecting the content available in Switzerland?
Their team is ready to provide the list of titles available for Switzerland.6 votes -
Add Educ'Arte Video
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.

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.

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/…
5 votesHello,
We will reach out to ASM, and ask for the metadata for this collection.
We will also review if we can create a collection for their proceedings.

Teachingbooks need contents update
Hi,
We have subscribed to Teachingbooks and obtained MARC records from them to create a collection when we set it up years ago. Recently, they told us that to get updates, individual libraries have to set up API to connect to their catalogs using software such as TLC’s LS2, Apollo’s Biblionix, etc.
Alma Community Zone has offered several Teachingbooks versions as databases. It would be beneficial to all Alma libraries if Ex Libris's Content Team contacts them and sets up API with them, so the databases can become collections with updates, than individual libraries setting up API on their own.…
3 votesHello,
We will reach out to TeachingBooks and request metadata for their collections.
Please note that TeachingBooks currently does not share metadata with us, so establishing a new metadata feed may take longer than it would with providers that already supply regular updates.
