← 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.

  7. Factiva (separate electronic collections for different subscription products)

    I would like separate electronic collections in the Community Zone for Factiva, specific to the academic subscription product and non-academic subscription products.

    We have an academic subscription to Factiva and have activated the Electronic Collection 'Factiva' in the Community Zone. When you follow the links to full text in many of the portfolio records, you get a message saying 'No search results. This may be due to content restrictions on your academic account'. I believe this is because this single electronic collection contains records relating to content that is available to subscribers of the academic product, but also records relating…

    Hello all,

    Thank you for this suggestion!
    We have looked into this request and also discussed the matter with Factiva and ProQuest. We ingest the Factiva content through our ProQuest feed.

    Factiva cannot produce individual title lists and therefore we will leave the collection as is.

    That said, we are in touch with Factiva and are hoping to see improvements.

    Best,
    Rael

Collecting Bureau of Justice statistics, memoirs of retired Scotland Yard investigators, congressional hearings on drug control policies, accounts of prison life in days long past and much more, this collection explores how criminal justice has changed in America and the effect criminology has had on those changes.

    Hello,

    Thank you for your contribution!
    This collection is currently available under the collection name “HeinOnline Criminal Justice in America: U.S. Attorney General Opinions, Reports, and Publications”.
    We have plans to update the collection name following confirmation from HeinOnline that indeed this is the same collection that needs only to be renamed.

    Until the name is changed, you can still activate this collection and the name change will be reflected as soon as it is made.

    Best,

    Hello,

    Thank you for your contribution!
    The ProQuest Dissertations and Theses collection is available as a Database (a collection without titles) and the coverage is fully supported by the content being indexed in the CDI.
    Given that there are millions of titles in this collection it is best supported in this method.

    Thank you,

  17. Flag PCI/CDI Content That Appears on the Beall's List as "Potentially Predatory"

    We have noticed that certain content in the PCI/CDI overlaps with content listed on the Beall's List of Predatory Journals and Publishers (https://beallslist.net/). For example, all journals by Iris Publishers and Crimson Publishers that are indexed via CrossRef are indexed in the *** ALL CrossRef Collections *** and Rest of CrossRef collections not specified. However, discovering this information on our own is very time-consuming. Could Ex Libris systematically flag PCI/CDI content that appears on the Beall's List as "potentially predatory" so that institutions could more easily decide if they would like to include this content in their Primo…
