← 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:

**Please be aware that ideas with no comments or votes for the past three years, and have less than 30 votes, will be closed. The closed ideas will still be available for review, and the votes will be freed up for supporting other content ideas.

**If you are a content provider, please review the submission guides for more information on how to reach out

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.

  6. New Database Request - Elsevier Read and Publish 2026-2028 (Reading list) - 360 KB

    A new Jisc agreement has been released for Elsevier Read and Publish covering 2026-2028. We need a new database in 360 KB to reflect the current collection and replace the now out-of-date database that covered the 2022-2024 agreement [Elsevier:Jisc Collections:Elsevier Read and Publish Agreement 2022-2024:Freedom Collection (Reading list). FYGXN]

    We also need article-level linking. FYGXN has article level linking in place and the platform has not changed so the same linking principles should still apply.

  14. Expand Digital Theatre+ CZ collections

    Currently there is only the US database for Digital Theatre+ available in the CZ. It would be wonderful to get the other geographic area collections added (Australia in our case), as our subscription includes titles not available in the US. This setup is already present in OCLC WorldShare.

  17. Add a CZ collection for "Lived Places Publishing" Open Access titles

    There are several "Lived Places Publishing" collections already in the CZ (and prior Idea Exchange submissions), but these are yearly based purchased collections.
    For example: "2024 Lived Places Publishing Library Collection".

    This submission is specifically for the Open Access titles by this publisher, and ideally this would be maintained ongoing rather than year based.

    The current title list: https://livedplacespublishing.com/open-access-titles/
