← 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.
  3. Other - for non provider specific ideas

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.

    Hi,


    The provider has confirmed that the missing annual collection you requested does not exist as part of their products, therefore we are not able to add it.


    If you have information from the provider that suggests otherwise, please forward it to tamar.ganor@clarivate.com.

  2. OECD iLibrary going Open Access

    I sent this to the Content email listserv. And reply from Elizabeth York.

    Thanks for consideration.

    Hi Denise,

    Thanks for reminding us of OECD's switch to OA! If OECD wants to provide entirely new collection files to KB vendors, they could, and Ex Libris could load them, but based on the information provided by OECD, I am not sure whether that's necessary; it sounds like the content is not changing, but it is switching to OA. Assuming all the OECD content continues to be available at the same links, we could possibly simply remove our authentication methods (service-level proxying, in…

    Hi,

    Any issues with updates of existing collections should be addressed via a support ticket in Salesforce.


    There is a collection called "Chronicle of Higher Education" (DBID: DBV) and this request should be regarding adding a new portfolio to an existing collection.


    I apologize for this inconvenience, but opening a case would be the best way to investigate the delayed update to this collection.


    Kind regards,

  4. Enrich HathiTrust CDI Records

    Hello,

    Could Ex Libris please work with HathiTrust to enrich the records in their various CDI collections (including DBID: J3O)?

    The records are currently very brief and lack subject headings, tables of contents, abstracts, etc.

    Thanks.

    Hello,

    We were recently informed that Hathi trust halted the development of their MARC feed for Ex Libris until further notice. So unfortunately, we will not be able to improve the records in CDI.

    This has been added to the "content issues in progress" Knowledge Article:

    Hello,

    "ひつじ研究叢書" is series title and the provider 丸善 is introducing it for sale or for marketing.

    You do not have to buy all the titles of the series, so there is no need in a new collection.

    Please select the relevant titles in 360, SFX, and Alma Marurzen Ebook Library (DBID:MOSFZ), and activate according to your agreement with Maruzen.

    Let me know directly if there are any issues with the suggested solution

    We would like the individual databases covered by this service to be included in CDI.

    The provider is not interested in sending us metadata for these collections.

    Therefore we will not add these to the Knowledge Bases, please maintain them locally.

  7. Add recent titles to Ancient Near East Monographs open access series from SBL

    Our faculty and students have a high interest in these books.

  8. Peeters E-Books

    Alma has already an electronic Collection for Peeters Online Journals.

    Therefore I ask you to add the following three collections to Alma:
    Peeters Online E-Books
    Peeters Online Open Access E-Books
    Peeters Online Series

    You find the necessary content on https://www.peeters-leuven.be/index.php. As it is an existing provider, I suppose that you have already some contact information. On the website I only found very general contact information.

  10. Update Bloomsbury Education and Childhood Studies

    We activated the Education & Childhood Studies CZ collection but are waiting for the CZ collection to be updated to reflect the 2023 autumn update. We set our collection so that new portfolios are automatically updated but the collection doesn't seem to have been updated since 27/09/23. There are currently 189 titles in the collection, the latest creation date being 26/02/2023. My colleague has checked a few of the new titles just for the sake of completeness and although they are in the CZ they aren't in the Education & Childhood Studies collections as yet.

    We are expecting:

  11. Open Library of Humanities

    It seems Open Library of Humanities, https://www.openlibhums.org/, hasn't updated their title list in the 360 KB since 2020 (last full update was in 2015) (DB code ABAGC).

    Zygon is now part of Open Library of Humanities and we would like to be able to connect our users to it via Summon/360.

    I sent a message to Andy Byers via the OLH contact form, https://www.openlibhums.org/contact/, but also wanted to ask you all to follow up with them.

    Thank you!

    Please consider indexing the content for the title, American Journal of Play.

"I checked in CDI and the majority of our records for American journal of play come from ProQuest. ProQuest only has full text and citation coverage starting in 2012. Gale also indexes content from this journal, but they only start indexing content in 2014. With content on EBSCO, we have to rely on alternative coverage, because EBSCO does…

  17. Add database for Skillsoft Percipio french titles

    Ex Libris recently added two new databases (AABQT & ANMXM) with English titles available in Skillsoft's Percipio based on content lists that we provided (original case 06845269). This was very helpful to us! We've also procured French titles in Percipio; could we please add these as another database so that our users can search them in Summon along with our other Percipio titles? I've attached the list of titles with permalinks.

    Hello,

    According to Skillsoft, They do not sell a "French" only collection for Percipio.

    They requested that if we create such a collection we will restrict the activation to Environment Canada only which we cannot accommodate.

    In this case I would suggest creating a local collection with the title list you have.

    Please reach out to me directly if further clarification is needed
