Add two Wiley Digital Archives ebook collections

Mahdi GanjaviMetadata Production and Electronic Access Specialist
Department of Metadata Services, University of Toronto4 votesHello,
Wiley responded that the Environmental Science and History (ENV) collection is scheduled for completion in Spring 2024, we will add that collection then.
Regarding the Royal Geographical Society, the metadata will be provided not directly by Wiley but by a 3rd party so it requires some legal clarification.
In the meantime, we have created two zero title databases to activate for this request:
dbid: RPVOM - WILEY_DIGITAL_ARCHIVES_ROYAL_GEOGRAPHICAL_SOCIETY_PART_I
dbid: APJRU - WILEY_DIGITAL_ARCHIVES_ROYAL_GEOGRAPHICAL_SOCIETY_PART_IIKind regards,

Bloomsbury Open Collections 2023-2024
Add an Alma Community Zone collection for the 194 backlist titles included in the JISC Bloomsbury Open Collections 2023-2024 collection.
https://subscriptionsmanager.jisc.ac.uk/catalogue/29724 votesHello,
We are planning to add these collections by March 2024.
Please be advised that according to Jisc, this Bloomsbury Open Collections 2023-2024 agreement is for books, and they don't have title lists for these as they only store journal title lists in KB+.
Therefore the collection's name will not contain Jisc/KB+.

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.

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.
