Content
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.
- Other - for non provider specific ideas

CZ: Keep contributions from Community to bibliographic records, where possible
The Community Zone is open for contributions by editing bibliographic records in the Community. However, as soon as Ex Libris uploads the same bibliographic records again from the provider, the contributions by the community are overwritten, if the provider sends an identical field. In some cases this is OK (if the providers version is better) in others it is not (when the contributed field was more complete).
I propose therefore, that the rules for importing updated bibliographic records into the Community Zone by Ex Libris are changed in the following points:

Improve the metadata of Scholarvox Université (Cyberlibris) collections
The quality of the metadata for the Scholarvox in the CZ is often extremely poor (only title, print ISBN and language is specified as English but the ebooks are in French).
In other electronic collections , we find records with only electronic ISBN. So it is confusing.
Find here the Scholarvox Université Collections :
• ScholarVox Université Arts
Collection ID : 614920000000003777• ScholarVox Université Emploi, métiers et formation
Collection ID : 614920000000003778• ScholarVox Université Géographie

Editorial Tirant lo Blanch
Editorial Tirant lo Blanch (https://editorial.tirant.com/es) is one of the main Law content providers in Spanish. The majority of the academic institutions are their customer.
They produced databases, journals and books, and host them in their platforms (called Tirant Online, Biblioteca Tirant and Nube de Lectura). It would be very interesting to be able to index their contents.
Adding their resources in the CDI would be very beneficial for all academic institutions studying Spanish Law.

We have established a feed for the collection in the Knowledgebases, we are working now to create a CDI feed as well.
