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).


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

  3. Enrich metadata from vendor Editions ENI in the Alma CZ

    The ebook records in the e-collection "Bibliotheque numerique ENI" have currently brief level 3. So generally only ISBNs, publication year and title in their metadata. This is not enough to provide optimal discovery experience for users.

    We would like to ask you to enrich the metadata and enhance the brief level. We are also in contact with the publisher and will post here any feedback from their side.

    Hello,

    It appears we do not have an enrichment agreement with the content provider, ENI.

    We will reach out to them and check if they can send us a feed for this collection, but if you have a contact person that we can work with that would be very helpful.

    Thanks,

  5. Naxos Music Library - U.S. CDI collections

    Some of the content in the CDI collections for Naxos Music Library, Naxos Music Library Jazz, and Naxos Music Library - World are not available in the United States due to copyright restrictions. OCLC has separate collections in WorldShare Manager for NML content that is available to U.S. subscribers. I am requesting that similar collections be added to CDI that contain only the records for content U.S. subscribers can access.

  8. Policy Commons

    Please ingest as a CDI "link in record" database the various Policy Commons modules on this page: https://policycommons.net/modules/

    We are particularly interested in "Global Think Tanks", but all should be added.

    Also note that while I expect this would be a new provider, there is already an idea with a status of "planned" for Africa Commons, from the same provider, Coherent Digital.

    Thank you!

  13. Improve the metadata of Scholarvox Université (Cyberlibris) collections

    The quality of the metadata for the Scholarvox in the CZ is often extremely poor (only title, print ISBN and language is specified as English but the ebooks are in French).

    In other electronic collections , we find records with only electronic ISBN. So it is confusing.

    Find here the Scholarvox Université Collections :

    • ScholarVox Université Arts
    Collection ID : 614920000000003777

    • ScholarVox Université Emploi, métiers et formation

    • ScholarVox Université Géographie

    • ScholarVox Université Histoire

    Thanks Courtney, this is indeed the right place to post these requests.

    We are already working on this collection, but there are some technical details that need to be worked out.

    Hello,

    We currently don't have a metadata feed for DROPS, so this will be managed as a request for a "new provider".

    This will be evaluated with the Content Working Group, and decided upon next NERS round.
