← 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.

    Hi,


    The provider has confirmed that the missing annual collection you requested does not exist as part of their products, therefore we are not able to add it.


    If you have information from the provider that suggests otherwise, please forward it to tamar.ganor@clarivate.com.

  3. Update Bloomsbury Education and Childhood Studies

    We activated the Education & Childhood Studies CZ collection but are waiting for the CZ collection to be updated to reflect the 2023 autumn update. We set our collection so that new portfolios are automatically updated but the collection doesn't seem to have been updated since 27/09/23. There are currently 189 titles in the collection, the latest creation date being 26/02/2023. My colleague has checked a few of the new titles just for the sake of completeness and although they are in the CZ they aren't in the Education & Childhood Studies collections as yet.

    We are expecting:

  5. Add "J-DAC" [丸善株式会社 (Maruzen Co., Ltd.)] to CDI

    The provider is not interested in sending us metadata for these collections.

    Hello,

    "ひつじ研究叢書" is series title and the provider 丸善 is introducing it for sale or for marketing.

    You do not have to buy all the titles of the series, so there is no need in a new collection.

    Please select the relevant titles in 360, SFX, and Alma Marurzen Ebook Library (DBID:MOSFZ), and activate according to your agreement with Maruzen.

    Let me know directly if there are any issues with the suggested solution

    Please create a collection titled The Cancer Letter for two portfolios that are now in the collection "Miscellaneous Ejournals". Please make other changes outlined below as well.

    The existing provider is The Cancer Letter, Inc.

    The two existing portfolios are:
    The Cancer Letter: Portfolio ID: 53613678640007861
    The Clinical Cancer Letter: Portfolio ID: 53613678610007861

    They are both currently in Miscellaneous EJournals:
    Collection ID: 61613678680007861
    MMS ID: 991060498721707861

    The Clinical Cancer Letter became a section of The Cancer Letter in 2018, and that portfolio 53613678610007861 currently links to the Cancer Letter Archives. That is fine.

    Can a third portfolio be created in…

  9. OECD iLibrary going Open Access

    I sent this to the Content email listserv. And reply from Elizabeth York.

    Thanks for consideration.

    Hi Denise,

    Thanks for reminding us of OECD's switch to OA! If OECD wants to provide entirely new collection files to KB vendors, they could, and Ex Libris could load them, but based on the information provided by OECD, I am not sure whether that's necessary; it sounds like the content is not changing, but it is switching to OA. Assuming all the OECD content continues to be available at the same links, we could possibly simply remove our authentication methods (service-level proxying, in…

    Peeters Online Series

    You find the necessary content on https://www.peeters-leuven.be/index.php. As it is an existing provider, I suppose that you have already some contact information. On the website I only found very general contact information.
