- Add a direct link to the provider/resource you suggest, and a contact person if possible.

- Make sure you mention any specific added value your idea has to the community such as language or supporting diversity.
- 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.
- Other - for non provider specific ideas

Making the peer reviewed icon more accurate
Articles and journals are marked with the peer reviewed icon in Primo based on information extracted from Ulrichsweb (https://knowledge.exlibrisgroup.com/Ulrich%27s/Product_Documentation/Searching/Ulrichsweb%3A_Peer-Reviewed_Refereed_Journals_and_Academic_Scholarly_Journals).
The Peer Review indicator can only be set at the journal level at the moment. If a journal is identified as peer reviewed, or refereed in Ulrichsweb, all articles from this journal will be shown with the peer reviewed icon in Primo.
However, not all articles in such journals are peer reviewed, meaning the icon sends the wrong information to user, and that this label is not reliable. It can further cause users to lose confidence in the system.…799 votesThanks for the examples - we will review them and discuss our options.

Add Thoth Open Access collection as a Community Zone
This is a request to add the collection of Diamond OA publications in Thoth (http://www.thoth.pub/) as a Community Zone collection.
Thoth contains a steadily growing collection of OA publications from scholar-led publishers such as punctum books, Open Book Publishers, meson press, mediastudies.press, and African Minds, and we have been working with UC Santa Barbara Library to make it more accessible to libraries worldwide.
Creating a dedicated Community Zone would substantially increase access to these OA publishers.

We will reach out to Thoth (with the address provided in the comment - thank you!), and will review the available metadata to evaluate our options.

Separate publisher and aggregator collections to filter out unavailable preprints
Publishers are increasingly adding preprints to their collections but aggregators do not add them until they have been fully "published". Because aggregators and publishers share collections on the CDI, it looks as if our aggregator links are broken in the catalogue. If aggregators and publishers provide different levels of access, can the collections be separated to reflect this?
This is important because the preprints tend to be the latest publications and so are in relatively high demand.73 votesAdminTamar Ganor

Add a new vocabulary in the CZ
We have in NZ of CCUC (Catalan Union Catalog) a vocabulary in Catalan that is a controlled language used for indexing the genre or form and it can be used in bibliographic records together with any other subject heading system. Its use is of interest to any library that uses Catalan as the language of the catalog (for example, libraries in Andorra, the Valencian Community, the Balearic Islands, etc.). Some of these libraries use ALMA and have requested that this vocabulary be accessible in the CZ in order to use it.
Therefore, we request the indexing of the TGFC vocabulary…48 votes
