ARTE Campus - Switzerland
ARTE Campus (https://campus.arte.tv/) is also available in Switzerland. However, due to geographic restrictions, the video selection differs slightly from the French catalog.
The platform offers around 3,000 videos (as of December 2025), with transcriptions in five languages, including documentary series, short films, and recorded programmes and podcasts.
Is it possible to create a specific catalog reflecting the content available in Switzerland?
Their team is ready to provide the list of titles available for Switzerland.9 votes -
Enhancing searchability through original script support for non-latin data
Hi,
currently, the CZ-data in other than latin scripts is often transliterated using the ALA transliteration rules. However, these rules are not used in all regions of the world. This issue concerns mainly the title and authors. Ultimately, the different transliterations make the search for this data very difficult.We suggest that the CZ-data in other than latin scripts should contain the original script as well as the transliteration. If ExLibris could introduce the original script in a linked field 880 as the standard for non-Latin scripts in the CZ, this would be a big advantage for us in the…

Hope to enhance these brief records of package（WORLD_SCIENTIFIC_JOURNALS;Collection ID: 61590044640003966）
Some journals in this resource package（WORLDSCIENTIFICJOURNALS;Collection ID: 61590044640003966）, approximately 47 titles, have neither Library of Congress Classification numbers nor Dewey Classification numbers. It is recommended to enhance these brief records by replacing them with more comprehensive bibliographic information.

Hello,
Can you please confirm what is the CZ Collection ID for the requested collection?
There is one collection that may be what you mean (Collection ID: 61110974746497576), but its' average Bibliographic ranking is 73 which is considered fairly good.
In any case, we do not receive Dewey Classification for this collection and many others, but we might be able to add LCSH.
Kind regards,

New source for CDI: The Conversation
The Conversation (https://theconversation.com/) would be a valuable source to add to the CDI and make available in Primo as it provides Academic 'magazine-style' articles, often in multiple languages. There are region/country specific editions of "The Conversation" so this would need to be considered when adding them.

Add ISLaS+ database to Alma
