← 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. The ideas for new providers will be annually prioritized via the CERV process.
  3. Other - for non provider specific ideas

If you want to add an institutional repository, please open a case and follow the documentation here:

  2. Add separate CDI collections for British Standards Institute (BSI) Modules

    Please add separate CDI collections for the various subject modules they sell. Currently, there's only one CDI collection for the BSI Group platform: DBID: EOT. Libraries can subscribe to a subset of the standards so there needs to be CDI collections for all these subsets.

  4. Add EBSCOHOST Ebooks DDA Collection to KBs

    Please add a separate KB collection for EBSCOHOST DDA Ebooks that only includes ebooks that are eligible for EBSCO's DDA program.

    Currently the largest EBSCO ebook collection in the CZ seems to be EBSCOhost Ebooks (Collection ID: 61111000211069000) and I don't want to use this same collection for both firm orders and DDA holdings.

  5. Add Docuseek2 Complete Collection 4th Edition Alexander Street version to Alma CZ

    Docuseek2 makes their films available both on their own Docuseek platform and on the Alexander Street platform. In general, they first make the films available on Docuseek, and then once they work out an agreement with Alexander Street, the films are added to Alexander Street as well. We heard from Docuseek2 that their 4th Edition collection is now available from Alexander Street. However, we don't see a CZ collection for the 4th Edition on Alexander Street. Could Ex Libris and Alexander Street please work together to load a collection for the Docuseek2 4th Edition on Alexander Street? It should parallel…

  13. Make Article-level Linking Immune to Provider Changes in Consortia Collections

    At least in the German-speaking market (feel free to comment below if this is true for your country as well!) it is very common for consortia contracts on e-resource collections that the subscription for any title contained in the collection persists even if that title is subject to a provider change. So, typically, at the very beginning of the contract all titles of the particular collection are hosted by one and the same provider and over the time several titles get acquired by other providers without causing them to drop out of the collection - at least in terms of…

    Under Review  ·  AdminTamar Ganor (Admin, Ex Libris) responded

    Hello,

    We’re currently analyzing the various scenarios related to this request, and believe we can implement a solution that will preserve moved titles within collections, rather than removing them.

    This solution will be integrated into our collection addition and update workflows. When title lists are picked up by our automated cycle, any title with a URL that differs from the collection’s parser will be assigned a Bulk::BULKdoi parser to accommodate the change.

    Developing a separate process to dynamically match and override collection parsers with dedicated ones isn’t feasible at this time, as the complexity and volume of potential matches would require a significantly more advanced logic framework than we currently support.

    I will update this idea once I have a clear timeline.

    Kind regards,

  14. Enrich Bibliographic Records for Kanopy Base collection

    We appreciate the addition of the Kanopy Base Kanopy BASE (Kanopy BASE US Collection- CID 61138888930006991) collection in the CZ. It will make management easier as the collection is refreshed rather frequently. We suggest enriching the bibliographic records of the titles within the collection. As it now stands, there are no subject headings for the 10,000 records in the collection, making discovery nearly impossible and of little use to our users.
