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.

Make Article-level Linking Immune to Provider Changes in Consortia Collections
At least in the German-speaking market (feel free to comment below if this is true for your country as well!) it is very common for consortia contracts on e-resource collections that the subscription for any title contained in the collection persists even if that title is subject to a provider change. So, typically, at the very beginning of the contract all titles of the particular collection are hosted by one and the same provider and over the time several titles get acquired by other providers without causing them to drop out of the collection - at least in terms of…
274 votesHello,
We’re currently analyzing the various scenarios related to this request, and believe we can implement a solution that will preserve moved titles within collections, rather than removing them.
This solution will be integrated into our collection addition and update workflows. When title lists are picked up by our automated cycle, any title with a URL that differs from the collection’s parser will be assigned a Bulk::BULKdoi parser to accommodate the change.
Developing a separate process to dynamically match and override collection parsers with dedicated ones isn’t feasible at this time, as the complexity and volume of potential matches would require a significantly more advanced logic framework than we currently support.
I will update this idea once I have a clear timeline.
Kind regards,

ASM Digital Library Conference Proceedings
Hello,
We recently subscribed to the ASM Digital Library's All Access model. There is an Alma database available for this collection (ID: 61585093310000041), but there doesn't appear to be any content included. There are no portfolios attached, and the DBID yields zero results in the CDI.
Would it be possible to update this collection to include CDI content? Alternatively, it would be helpful to have a collection available that includes the ASM conference proceedings:
Heat Treating Conference and Exposition: https://dl.asminternational.org/heat-treating/
International Symposium for Testing and Failure Analysis: https://dl.asminternational.org/ISTFA
Shape Memory and Superelastic Technologies Conference: https://dl.asminternational.org/shape-memory
International Thermal Spray Conference: https://dl.asminternational.org/itsc/…

We will reach out to ASM, and ask for the metadata for this collection.
We will also review if we can create a collection for their proceedings.

Add Docuseek2 Complete Collection 4th Edition Alexander Street version to Alma CZ
