Improve the metadata of Dalloz Bibliothèque in CZ and CDI
- Dalloz Bibliothèque
- Collection ID : 613680000000000037
- CDI Collection ID (DB ID): O7M
- Material type : books (currently : 2576)
The quality of the metadata for Dalloz Bibliothèque in the CZ and CDI is extremely poor (sometimes only one title). Please, consider enriching the metadata with those coming from the SUDOC (more complete and of better quality). Enrichment could perhaps be based on the PPN (SUDOC identifier) that you have already injected into the CZ records?

Thanks for the clarification.
Let me take it internally and check what we can do.

Add Docuseek Complete Collection 4th Edition Upgrade to Alma CZ
We have purchased the Docuseek Complete Collection 4th Edition Upgrade from Docuseek. Docuseek has many other Alma collections, including the original collection, the 2nd edition, and the 3rd edition upgrade. Could Ex Libris please work with Docuseek to load this new collection, the Docuseek Complete Collection 4th Edition Upgrade, into the Alma CZ and other KBs? The end result should be a collection with robust MARC records and portfolios we can activate. This is a video collection, and it is important that you work with Docuseek to load full MARC records for the videos--don't just load a KBART, as that…

American Welding Society eBooks
American Welding Society eBooks is available through the ASME (American Society of Mechanical Engineers) Digital Collection. The page for the books is below:
https://asmedigitalcollection.asme.org/aws-ebooks
ALMA does not have a collection for these books nor do the books seem to be available through other ASME collections in ALMA.
Please added a collection for these books.
1 voteHello,
Apologies for the delay in my response.
We will reach out to the provider and ask for the title list.
If we use the title list you provided, we will not be able to create this as an automatically updated collection, and it will be configured as "managed by community". So we prefer to ask the provider for an updated title location that can be automated.
Kind regards,
