← 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.

  7. CZ Collection Request: CARE-CRUI SpringerLink Journals

    The CARE-CRUI italian consortium has agreed with Springer a version of the "SpringerLink Journals" package tailored for the italian universities participating at the consortium.

    This consortium (http://www.crui-risorselettroniche.it/) is the master reference for all the italian universities.

    So the italian Alma customers are in the need of a tailored package in the CZ too: say a "CARE-CRUI SpringerLink Journals" package, similar to other localized packages yet present on the CZ ( i.e. "OhioLINK SpringerLink Journals" package).

    Please note that at now such package does not exist: all the springerlink journals packages available in the CZ have different content than…

  13. Proquest - Separate collections or services for citation/abstract only titles

    We have a lot of confusion when titles appear in Community Zone Proquest collections and display in Primo as full-text when in fact these titles are only available as abstract/citation from Proquest. It would be good if we could have separate collections or services from the Community Zone for these titles rather than one Proquest collection including Full text and Citation/Abstract titles without differentiation between of which are which.

    Hello,

    Following analysis we discovered an issue with these collections that has been resolved.
    The collections are now separated as expected.

    Thank you for raising this matter to our attention.
    For future reference, please note that a Support Case would suffice to report this issue.

    Best,
    Rael

    Hello,

    We have successfully performed an update to the Lynda.com content in SFX and Alma (available in the coming release).

    Please Note that we will continue to work with LinkedIn to see if we can receive ongoing updates. There are no current plans to add this to Discovery, as we are still in talks to reach an agreement.

    Thank you,

  17. Add Cambridge Journals 2018 North American Full Package

    Please add this package ASAP. We'd like to see these new title packages at the beginning of a new calendar year. As it is, we either need to take the time to create a local package or we leave our users without accurate holding info. This is not the time-saving we're supposed to realize with the Alma CZ.

    Various Ebsco collections have been nominated but the Nursing collection hasn't been mentioned so far that I can see, so have added that as well. I hope Ex Libris counts up ALLl the Ebsco votes for various collections to realise that this is something that is urgently needed.

    Currently in Primo Central Index there are collections available to activate for ASCE ebooks, ASCE Proceedings, ASCE Standards in addition to the main ASCE Library [all content] option. The Journals option is described as NESLI2 Journals 2014. Could we have an 'American Society of Civil Engineers - ASCE Journals' option which is not linked to a specific licence/deal?
