← 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.

    Hello Andrew,

    According to OUP, the Politics Trove is already not in annual format, and they instructed us to use the collection Politics Trove (Collection ID 615410000000000049).

    To improve our alignment with the provider's naming convention, we will rename the collection to Oxford University Press Politics Trove in the upcoming month.

    Kind regards,

    Tamar

  5. Add a new vocabulary in the CZ

    We have in NZ of CCUC (Catalan Union Catalog) a vocabulary in Catalan that is a controlled language used for indexing the genre or form and it can be used in bibliographic records together with any other subject heading system. Its use is of interest to any library that uses Catalan as the language of the catalog (for example, libraries in Andorra, the Valencian Community, the Balearic Islands, etc.). Some of these libraries use ALMA and have requested that this vocabulary be accessible in the CZ in order to use it.
    Therefore, we request the indexing of the TGFC vocabulary…

  10. Add new Hein collection

    We've received an automated message from Hein saying that their new "National Defense University Press Publications" collection has been added to the existing "Military and Government" collection and is available free of charge through our HeinOnline Core subscription. We have the CZ instance for Military and Government (615470000000000459) activated, but I don't see a separate collection for the NDU set. Please (a) confirm that Hein will feed the NDU titles into 615470000000000459 or (b) provide the NDU titles as a separate CZ collection for activation. https://help.heinonline.org/kb/heinonline-database-title-listings/
