Sustainable Development Goals Online from Taylor and Francis CDI collection
Please could SDGO be added as a collection in the CDI? This is a collection of mainly articles and book chapters, and so the contents cannot be activated through portfolios in the Alma CZ.
https://www.taylorfrancis.com/sdgo/3 votesHello,
We have received the mapping for the discovery metadata for the general SDGO collection, and it will be added by November 2023.
Please be advised that currently there is no way for us to map the SDGO sub-collections, because the chapters and articles CDI metadata does not contain any tags to match them to the sub-collections.
Kind regards,

Add History of Religiosity in Latin America Online (Brill)
Please add this new Brill collection to the 360 KB. It contains 3,000+ monographs and almost 600 periodicals. Languages: primarily Spanish but also Portuguese. Some Latin, English, French, and Italian
https://primarysources.brillonline.com/browse/history-of-religiosity-in-latin-america
"Until recently it was impossible for sociologists, anthropologists, historians of attitudes and social psychologists to develop the study of religion in modern Latin America into a field of teaching and research. The documents pertaining to the colonial period are, of course, preserved and often well edited. But the publications of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries that deal with local devotions and syncretist rituals, religious iconography and poetry, and the…

Enrich metadata from vendor Editions ENI in the Alma CZ
The ebook records in the e-collection "Bibliotheque numerique ENI" have currently brief level 3. So generally only ISBNs, publication year and title in their metadata. This is not enough to provide optimal discovery experience for users.
We would like to ask you to enrich the metadata and enhance the brief level. We are also in contact with the publisher and will post here any feedback from their side.
33 votesHello,
We have an agreement in place, and are planning to proceed with enrichment by end of June 20024.

start enrichment process for Hogrefe eBooks (Hogrefe eLibrary)
ExLibris created an automation for updates that will run on a weekly basis and will check for any changes made to the title list by Hogrefe Verlag. However, the metadata are rudimentary. We are missing author or editor, place of publication and publisher in the metadata. This makes it difficult to find out the ebooks in Primo VE.
Hence: could you please start an enrichment process with Hogrefe for their eLibrary eBooks titles?
119 votesHello,
After feedback from the community, we have reopened this idea.
The provider MARC will add authors, 300, better language and 008, Publisher.
Please be advised that although some improvement is expected, it will not enrich the records to robust Bibliographic records that meets library standards.
We will complete the enrichment by end of May 2024.

Editorial Tirant lo Blanch
Editorial Tirant lo Blanch (https://editorial.tirant.com/es) is one of the main Law content providers in Spanish. The majority of the academic institutions are their customer.
They produced databases, journals and books, and host them in their platforms (called Tirant Online, Biblioteca Tirant and Nube de Lectura). It would be very interesting to be able to index their contents.
Adding their resources in the CDI would be very beneficial for all academic institutions studying Spanish Law.

We have established a feed for the collection in the Knowledgebases, we are working now to create a CDI feed as well.

The Pressbooks Directory (https://pressbooks.directory/) indexes over 2000 open access books created by educational institutions.
