Content
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).
- Check if your idea has already been posted and vote for it before posting a new idea.
- 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.
- 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.
- Other - for non provider specific ideas

Add journal 'Art + Auction' from Ebsco
The journal 'Art + Auction' is part of Ebsco's Art and Architecture Source, but because it's changed title and ISSN in the past, there is quite a bit of coverage that is not indexed in Primo, even though it's available on the platform.
ExLibris explained as follows:
"Art & Auction (ISSN 0197-1093) - covered up to 2013.
Blouin Art + Auction (ISSN 2331-5342) - started from 2014 onwards.
In Alma, and particularly in the Community Zone, it's common that the provider (EBSCO in this case) combines coverage for both ISSNs into a single title or portfolio, especially if the publisher…4 votes

Hello,
We do not receive discovery metadata from Ebsco.
In order to obtain such metadata, we will need to establish a workflow with a new provider - the publisher of Art + Auction.
Since the process for new providers is going through CERV, I have changed the status of this request and it will be prioritized by the Content Working Group.
Kind regards,

Prevent deletion in Community Zone based on field or value in specific field.
Blocking deletion in Community Zone based on field or value in specific field. Possibility to be definded as a parameter for each CZ vocabulary.
107 votesAs you all know, the Community Zone content is shared among all Alma customers, each with different requirements. Therefore, I’m not sure this request would be acceptable to the wider Alma community. That said, if there were a consensus on a closed list of fields that CZ bibliographic records should be restricted from deleting per MARC profile, this capability already exists and is managed by the Ex Libris Content Operations team. Unfortunately, this is not available for authorities. Do you think such a consensus could be reached?
