Create new/separate automatic holdings collections for Taylor & Francis
I'd love to make use of the new Taylor & Francis automatic holdings feature, but the collections it points to are collections that we are already using. For certain providers, I prefer to use automatic holdings as a "back-up" to my own management. The "Taylor & Francis eBooks Complete" is the collection that the GOBI API uses. I'm also already using the "Taylor & Francis Current Content Access" for another reason. Springer and Wiley both have separate autoholdings collections. Could separate collections also be created for Taylor & Francis? Thanks!

We will take this with the Alma product team to decide what is the best approach for this request.

New Database Request - Wiley:Jisc Collections:Wiley Read and Publish Open Access 2024-2025 Reading List - 360 KB
A new Jisc agreement has been released for Wiley Journals covering 2024-2025. We therefore need a new database in 360 KB to reflect the current collection and replace the now out-of-date database that covered the 2020-2023 agreement [Wiley:Jisc Collections:Wiley Jisc Read and Publish Open Access Agreement 2020-2023 (reading list) ACPOU]
Master list can be obtained via the KB+ Exports Page:
https://www.kbplus.ac.uk/kbplus7/publicExport/pkg/3227We also need article-level linking. ACPOU has article level linking in place and the platform has not changed so the same linking principles should still apply.
