"Architectural Institute of Japan Search System (日本建築学会論文等検索システム - 機関定額制)" for discovery
"Architectural Institute of Japan Search System (日本建築学会論文等検索システム - 機関定額制)" is a database managed by Architectural Institute of Japan.
It contains many publications published by Architectural Institute of Japan.
Some of journals has been covered by existing databases like IRDB, J-STAGE but this database includes not only academic journals but also conference reports or any other type of contents, and they are not searchable on discovery.https://www.aij.or.jp/paper/search.html
It would be helpful for researchers if Ex Libris discovery included this database as a search target.

Add Oxford Handbooks 2024 collections to Alma CZ
Could you please add Oxford Handbooks 2024 collections to the Alma CZ? Oxford is an established provider-partner of Ex Libris, and they offer yearly Oxford handbooks collections in a variety of subject areas. We have purchased the Oxford Handbooks 2024 Law collection, so that's the one we specifically want, but as long as Ex Libris is working on this, it would be good if all the subject collections could be loaded. These should be Alma CZ collections with portfolios and bib records. There are many Oxford Handbooks subject collections in the CZ for previous years, so we think it should…

Add Max Planck Encyclopedia of Comparative Constitutional Law from Oxford University Press
We are purchasing the Max Planck Encyclopedia of Comparative Constitutional Law from Oxford (https://oxcon.ouplaw.com/home/MPECCOL), one of Ex Libris's established provider partners, but it is not in the CZ. Could Ex Libris please work with Oxford to load this resource into the CZ? The CZ already contains a related Max Planck collection from Oxford, Max Planck Encyclopedia of Public International Law (collection ID 613790000000001626), so I'm hopeful you'll be able to load Max Planck Encyclopedia of Comparative Constitutional Law as well.
