← Have an idea for Ex Libris?

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:

**Please be aware that ideas with no comments or votes for the past three years, and have less than 30 votes, will be closed. The closed ideas will still be available for review, and the votes will be freed up for supporting other content ideas.

**If you are a content provider, please review the submission guides for more information on how to reach out

How can we improve Content?

You've used all your votes and won't be able to post a new idea, but you can still search and comment on existing ideas.

There are two ways to get more votes:

  • When an admin closes an idea you've voted on, you'll get your votes back from that idea.
  • You can remove your votes from an open idea you support.
  • To see ideas you have already voted on, select the "My feedback" filter and select "My open ideas".
(thinking…)

Enter your idea and we'll search to see if someone has already suggested it.

If a similar idea already exists, you can support and comment on it.

If it doesn't exist, you can post your idea so others can support it.

Enter your idea and we'll search to see if someone has already suggested it.

  2. Improve full-text coverage and restore CDI fields for Factiva Academic

    Factiva is one of our primary sources for newspaper content. Previously, the link in record Factiva collection we used included CDI fields but now it does not. WIthout CDI fields, we can't even confirm whether records for Factiva content would be included in Primo search results or in Newspapers search only. Of the 4 Factiva collections currently available in the CZ, only the link in record collection for Corporate subscribers includes CDI fields. The full text and CDI coverage should be improved for Factiva Academic collections as well -- whether for the existing link resolver collection or with a new…

  4. New Community e-collection: Miscellaneous Free Documents

    Hello,

    we would like to have another Community Managed e-collection in the CZ. Currently, we are missing an e-collection where to contribute OA resources that do not fit in the category Journal / E-book. It could be called for example Miscellaneous Free Documents or Miscellaneous Free Resources.

    Use case: In our Consortia, we centrally activate the Miscellaneous Free... e-collections in the NZ so that the full-text links are available in the whole network. With the new e-collection we could autamatically centrally activate additional OA resources that are not journals or ebooks.

    Thank you for considering this request.

  11. New Database Request - Royal Society of Chemistry Read and Publish 2026-2029 (Reading list) - 360 KB

    A new Jisc agreement has been released for Royal Society of Chemistry Read and Publish covering 2026-2029. We need a new database in 360 KB to reflect the current collection and replace the now out-of-date database that covered the 2022-2024 agreement [Royal Society of Chemistry:Jisc Collections:Royal Society of Chemistry Read and Publish 2022-2024 (reading list). RAOCF]

    We also need article-level linking. RAOCF has article level linking in place and the platform has not changed so the same linking principles should still apply.

  19. Add Pressbooks Directory records to the CKB as a portfolio collection

    Previously the Pressbooks Directory was added to the CDI: https://ideas.exlibrisgroup.com/forums/574345-content/suggestions/42757319-ners-2021-pressbooks-directory

    That idea includes many community comments around a desire for a CKB collection instead, with significant benefits to this, such as adding metadata for discovery and to support OER initiatives by the library.

    There is good news starting in August, as Pressbooks has added an OPDS feed to their environment:
    https://pressbooks.directory/opds
    August 2025 update: https://youtu.be/45GPrE-l8Hg?si=8gPkGAKcdwueXZqd&t=718

    It would be great if Ex Libris could support Alma/Primo libraries globally to add these records as a portfolio based title level collection to the Alma Community Zone, as an Ex Libris managed collection.
