- 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.

- 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. The ideas for new providers will be annually prioritized via the CERV process.

Add CZ Collection for EBSCO Child & Adolescent Studies Source
There is a CZ collection for the ebook portion of this collection (Child & Adolescent Studies Source eBook Subscription Collection ID: 611022575880000041), but not for the rest, which means the other individual items in the collection will not be discoverable in Primo. Please add the EBSCO Child & Adolescent Studies Source collection to the CZ.

History Makers metadata
This is in reference to the previous post about History Makers from 2023. Since the burden of manually loading MARC records for the collection remains, and since it has been over three years when you last reached out to the provider, would you kindly look into the feasibility of adding title-level metadata and electronic service to the History Makers CZ database?

Add Bloomsbury Food Library: Core Collection 462 portfolios
Can you add the e-collection: Bloomsbury Food Library: Core Collection to the CZ? The current e-collection in the Alma CZ is entitled, "Bloomsbury Food Library: Core Collection - Annual Update 2025" and contains only 15 portfolios. The Core Collections contains 462 portfolios. See this link: https://www.bloomsburyfoodlibrary.com/about-bloomsbury-food-library-core-collection. I will attach the associated title list that I downloaded from the webpage.
If you filter by collection title in the spreadsheet there is nothing named, "Core Collection" or "Bloomsbury Food Library: Core Collection," there is just "Bloomsbury Food Library" and it has more than 15 portfolios. This link is what was provided…

Enrich CZ bib records for MedOne Education- Anatomy / MedOne Education Plus Add-On Titles
Would it be possible to enrich bib records for Thieme's MedOne Education- Anatomy collection in CZ (Collection ID: 616180000000000269) using vendor's MARC records for "MedOne Education Plus (Add-On Titles)" listed here: https://try-medone.thieme.com/medone-librarians/#titleMARC or using LC MARC by ISBN match (e.g. LCCN 2017057413)?
Not sure if the Alma collection name also needs to be updated since there's no corresponding MedOne Anatomy collection listed on vendor's page above. Thanks!

Add Met Opera on Demand Records to the CZ
Please add the Metropolitan Opera's "Met Opera on Demand" content to the CZ. They do not appear to have records directly available, but they do offer MARC records through OCLC's Connection Manager.
Very few students use the correct proxy database link to visit Met Opera separately as their first method of finding these recordings. More often, students search Primo (which will not show Met Opera records, leading them to assume it's not online) OR bypass our specific link and go directly to Met Opera or Google, often making it appear like they can't access it. Accessing these records via Primo…

Implement auto holdings for Kanopy (Overdrive)
It's great that we now have Kanopy PDA collections in Alma, but I'd like to have auto holdings set up for this so that our unique PDA holdings could be added. I'm hoping this is relatively easy as Kanopy already offers MARC records for titles in our PDA profile.
