In the CZ there is an existing collection (613790000000001601) for the Open Textbook Catalog.

Compared to the MARC records available at https://open.umn.edu/opentextbooks/discovery the CZ collection has fewer titles (651 vs 766 as of 07/13/2020).

Also the CZ bibliographic records are extremely brief and usually have nothing more than a title in the 245 field. The bib records from open.umn.edu are fuller with author, title, publisher, content and summary notes and subject headings.

This request is to ask Exlibris to use the publicly available MARC bib records from the open.umn.edu website to enhance the existing CZ collection.

Thank you.

There is currently no discovery for Learning Express. This database is used by all libraries in Texas and should be added to the Community Zone and PCI for indexing and discovery.

F-Mesh is a bilingual French/English version of the Medical Subject Headings (Mesh).
We are a French speaking Library network using MARC21. We were very happy to hear that Alma now includes F-Mesh as a subject headings vocabulary. However, as it is available only in UNIMARC, we cannot use it. If you are in the same situation, then don’t hesitate to vote for this Idea!

Add PressReader to Primo Central Index. Previously titled, PressDisplay, PressReader provides online access to approx 5,000 newspapers from over 100 countries around the world in over 60 languages in a full-color, full-page format.

Customers have the ability to perform keyword searches across all titles and the entire archive. PressReader is already in Alma CZ.

Thank you and kind regards

The Pressbooks Directory (https://pressbooks.directory/) indexes over 2000 open access books created by educational institutions. As many of these are not indexed separately, it would be great if the contents of the directory could be included in the Alma Community Zone and/or the Central Discovery Index.

Urbadoc bibliographic database indexes european architectural journals and can enrich PCI with unique references.
It would be very useful to have this database searchable in Primo Central Index.
Urbadoc has an OAI-PMH data provider. More info at: http://www.cnba.it/2017/09/28/novita-urbadoc/
