- 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.

Springer Nature Open Access Community Zone Electronic Collection
This is a request to add a single free/open access collection for all Springer Nature free/open access journals. Currently there are 4 community zone collections in Alma with many overlaps:
SpringerOpen Free - (CKB)613170000000000044
BioMed Central open Access - (CKB)611000000000000500
Bacon Springer Nature Global Open Access - (CKB)613780000000000900
Springer Nature Oa Journals - (CKB)614910000000000075We’d like the addition of one single consolidated collection because having the above 4 collections is unnecessarily confusing for students and staff as they currently encounter so many electronic collections for the same journal/article even when different community zone electronic collection links in Primo end up…
113 votesHello,
Due to linking limitations, we will not be able to create a collection for all Open Access content from Springer.
Therefore I am closing the idea.

Add a collection of PQDT collection to our CZ.
For China users, PQDT full text content is hosted in Beijing Zhongke platform, rather than in PQ platform. As far as I know, Zhongke PQDT content has been added in 360 KB. Could you please refer to below information and add it into CZ ？
Collection Name: ProQuest Dissertations and Theses Full Text - DRAA
Platform URL: http://www.pqdtcn.com/6 votesHello,
After reviewing the technical aspects of setting up this collection, the metadata cannot be automated and the links to CDI will not work properly so we will not add this to the Knowledge Bases and CDI.
You can create a local representation for this resource.

NERS 2021 - Portico Post-cancellation/perpetual access
In 360 KB and SFX (maybe in Alma as well) there exist several databases for Portico - triggered Content.
But Portico has a supplementary offer that is called "Portico - Post-cancellation/perpetual access". This offer contains journals from various publishers where the post-cancellation access is partly not through the platform of the publisher but through Portico.
You find some information about this offer here: https://www.portico.org/for-participants/#pca
The title lists for this database can be found here: https://www.portico.org/coverage/titles/ - it includes e-journals and e-books.
I ask you to add this database to SFX and 360 KB (and Alma if it doesn't exist there…
50 votesHello all,
We have been in touch with Portico and they have been engaged and responsive.
At this time they are unable to supply an "all titles" list (not institution-specific), so unfortunately we cannot currently support this request.That said, Portico have taken this feedback and will be considering internally how to address this request.
Whenever such a possibility will arise, we will gladly re-engage with Portico to create a title list as suggested here.Best,

Encyclopaedia Universalis, with availability type "Link resolver"
Encyclopaedia Universalis collection already exists in PCI, but the availability type is "Link in Record". It makes it impossible for patrons to access the fulltext.
The availability should be "Link resolver", so the library can manage its proxy settings in the link resolver.74 votesHello,
This content is available in our Knowledgebases and CDI. We have reviewed the request to switch to Link Resolver, and determined that the collection is best represented with the Link in Record method for best results.

360Link usage stats for un-normalized journal titles and CJK (Chinese, Japanese and Korean) titles
In current specification of 360Link usage stats, admin can not get detailed journal usage stats for un-normalized journal titles from "By Title and ISSN (Journal Title)".
Especially, admins in Japan (probably Korea and China are the same),are unsatisfied with that they can not get the usage of titles they registered in Library Specific Holdings and CJK(Chinese, Japanese and Korean) titles.
I hope it would be improved.21 votesThis is not an Alma issue, an enhancement for 360 Usage Statistics has been created for this request.
