← Have an idea for Ex Libris?
That idea has been deleted

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. The ideas for new providers will be annually prioritized via the CERV process.
  3. Other - for non provider specific ideas

If you want to add an institutional repository, please open a case and follow the documentation here:

    Hello,

    We currently do not receive any metadata from Yomiuri, therefore this idea has been updated to "New provider".

    It will be reviewed with other priorities and CERV voting cycle, as other new content providers are being addressed.

  6. Add CDI metadata to CZ records for Mintel collections

    Community zone collections from Mintel are odd. All have CZ records, but only a few have corresponding CDI records. The CDI records duplicate the CZ records but with better metadata. An example is "Mintel Beauty and Personal Care: China" (ID: 613860000000000186; DBID:ACFGR) The CDI records are labeled "market research" and have a full description. The CZ records only contain a title. Mintel recently released Shibboleth functionality (and the CZ collections were updated accordingly), so I need to use the CZ records so the linking works. The CDI records are all "link in record," which only works with a proxy. So,…

    Hello,

    The metadata Mintel provides is more suitable for CDI only, and although in previous years we have created collections with titles in the Kowledgebases, going forward we will only have the metadata presented in CDI.

    Please let me know which collections do not have metadata in CDI either in a comment to this idea, or directly to me

    tamar.ganor@clarivate.com.

    Regarding the authentication issue, I will consult with our support analysts on the best way to address this challenge.

  9. Add C-SPAN content to CDI

    Purdue has worked with C-SPAN on adding a harvestable OAI-feed to the C-SPAN system. We have since added the content locally: https://purdue.primo.exlibrisgroup.com/discovery/search?query=any,contains,PURDUE_CSPAN&tab=Everything&search_scope=MyInst_and_CI&vid=01PURDUE_PUWL:PURDUE&offset=0

    There maybe an interest to have C-SPAN loaded at the CDI level now that an OAI_PMH feed is available?

    Hello,

    We will check with EIU regarding metadata for CDI or to add portfolios for a full text collection.

    For CDI metadata we may need to setup an agreement, which can take time. And for a full text collection the records may not have enough metadata to be properly presented in the Knowledgebases.

    I will update the idea once I have some information to share.
