Content

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

  12. Add the "freely available" titles in the EZB "Medicine" category as a new target

    Add the "freely available" titles in the EZB "Medicine" category as a new target for the SFX Knowledgebase. There are already many EZB (University Library of Regensburg Electronic Journals Library) targets in SFX, including the ZB-FREE-00999FREELYAVAILABLEEZBJOURNALS full-text target. This currently contains around 68,000 free title object portfolios.

    We would like to be able to use the "Medicine" subset of the free target (currently 8,977 titles) as many of the other titles are not relevant to our clinicians

  16. CZ AMD bib material type revised

    There are many AMD related collections (Collection ID: 61616107200003966; Collection ID: 61616086800003966 and so on) in ALMA CZ. We found many resources bib material type are defined as JOURNAL, which is wrong compared with the real situation(They may be manscript,document ,photograph in the database platform). However, we cannot upload electronic material type in batch to replace.

    We think CZ should confirm and fix the wrong bib material type.
