- Did you find errors in an existing collection? please open a case.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.

Elgar AI and Disruptive Technology Subject Specific Collection needed in ALMA
Dalhouse University has recently added some ebook collections from Elgar. One of them, "AI and Disruptive Technology Subject Specific Collection", does not look to have any options in the Community zone to activate in ALMA. Could this collection be added to ALMA, so we could activate it? There are 106 titles in this service, and there are currently no options available for adding it. Elgar has numerous collections in the system already, so one would hope this could be added quickly. Thanks, André Richard

baltimore afro-american
Please add CDI coverage for ProQuest Historical Newspapers: The Baltimore Afro-American (All Years) Collection ID: 614940000000000323. This collection currently covers 1893-2010.
There is existing Link in record coverage for ProQuest Historical Newspapers: The Baltimore Afro-American (1893-1988) Collection ID: 614340000000000184, but it doesn't cover the full range of dates we are subscribed to and doesn't actually seem to be indexing any articles. For example, I cannot get this article to appear in Primo search results:
