Newsbank 'America's News' - article level / CDI
Rather than provide a webhook for 'America's News,' I am hoping ExL can enable article level linking in the way it has done for EBSCOhost Newspaper Source Plus. I assume this is done via CDI.
3 votesHello,
Unfortunately, this is not something we can develop at this time due to the massive amount of content that is required to index from Newsbank.
For Ebsco we have coverage from alternative sources, it is not a webhook solution.

Unfortunately, CIAO cannot provide a title list for these material types.

Respectfully, please open a support ticket for this issue as this needs to go to a different team for analysis.
Requests for new collections or enrichment should be posted in Idea Exchange, while fixing errors in existing metadata should be tracked via support cases.

Add CDI Collection for Factiva Academic
Could you please explore the possibility of creating a CDI collection for Factiva Academic with links in record (no portfolios)? Many publications in Factiva have "Selected coverage" and therefore are not available at the title level in the CZ collection (Collection ID: 61111037301464000). This means a significant amount of content is not being represented in the KB and I think moving this to a CDI collection would improve overall coverage as well as have more reliable full text linking.
1 voteHi Charlie,
After reviewing the amount of metadata and its' potential, it will not be added to the CDI due to overlap and massive quantity.

Please enrich records of "Exploring Race in Society" collection
Thank you for adding the EBSCO Exploring Race in Society collection (616180000000000029) in CZ. However, the quality is not great. Out of 70 titles, 61 titles have brief level 3 and below. They are brief records with title and publisher only.
Please work with the vendor to enrich the records.
Thanks!
3 votesHello,
Unfortunately, Ebsco provides us with KBART files only, and we will not be able to enrich this collection without their support of MARC records delivery to us.
