← 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.
  3. Other - for non provider specific ideas

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.

  1. A new Alma CZ authority vocabulary for the Finnish work-authority-file (case 06675712)

    A request for new content ASAP, upon ExLibris suggestion (case 06675712): a new Alma CZ authority vocabulary for the Finnish work-authority-file

    The National Library of Finland offers a work authority file, which is urgently needed by all Finnish Alma-libraries. As it turns out, it is not possible to add the Finnish work-authority-file into the existing Alma CZ FINAF vocabulary (due to the work-authority records and name-authority records with identical 001 fields). As a workaround, ExLibris SF support suggested (see case 06675712) adding a new Alma CZ authority vocabulary containing only the Finnish work-authority-file.

    Hence, we are requesting Ex Libris to…

  7. Add Cassyni (https://cassyni.com) which makes academic seminars openly available to CDI

    An academic at Imperial College London has co-founded a platform called Cassyni (https://cassyni.com) which makes academic seminars openly available. It'd be very useful if the platform is added to CDI so that individual seminars regarding many journals from major publishers can be discoverable in Primo. To give you some idea what Cassyni is like I posted some links below.

    It has partnered with various publishers including Elsevier, Cambridge University Press, Springer Nature and Royal Society to run seminar series for journals e.g.:

    https://cassyni.com/s/jcp
    https://cassyni.com/s/fmws
    https://cassyni.com/s/naturewater

    All published seminars receive a DOI e.g.:

    https://doi.org/10.52843/cassyni.dpf4mb

  8. JSTOR Path to Open Ebooks

    The first 100 titles in JSTOR's new Path to Open initiative will be live on their platform in October. The title list is already available so it would be great if Ex Libris could work to add the new collection in time for when the titles go live.
    https://about.jstor.org/path-to-open/titles/

    Please treat this as an annual ebook collection as 2024, 2025, 2026 will have discrete collections and libraries can opt whether to participate in just one year or all years.

  11. Behind the Scenes of the Civil Rights Movements (JSTOR primary source collection)

    A new open access primary source collection, Behind the Scenes of the Civil Rights Movements, has launched on the JSTOR platform at https://www.jstor.org/site/reveal-digital/behind-the-scenes-civil-rights-movements/?searchkey=1695218064856

    JSTOR is an established provider-partner of Ex Libris, so we hope it will be possible to work with them to load this collection.
    Because these are primary sources and thus lack ISBNs, ISSNs, or other identifiers that would work with link resolver linking, this collection should not be loaded as a KB collection with portfolios and MARCs. Instead, this collection should be loaded as a CDI link in record collection.

    This collection at launch contains materials focusing…

    Hello,

    As per Oxford, OUP has not published any Oxford Handbooks titles for the Criminology collection in 2023,  and the education OHO only has one title published in 2023 so they do not have collection level metadata for these subjects.

    If you have any other information, please forward it to me directly
