← 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

If you want to add an institutional repository, please open a case and follow the documentation here:

**Please be aware that ideas with no comments or votes for the past three years, and have less than 30 votes, will be closed. The closed ideas will still be available for review, and the votes will be freed up for supporting other content ideas.

**If you are a content provider, please review the submission guides for more information on how to reach out

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.

  8. Oxford Scholarship Online Yearly subject specific collections for years prior to 2022

    Most of the Oxford Scholarship Online subject specific collections only have yearly collections that go back to 2022 (for example Classical Studies has a 2022 and 2023 collection). Could yearly collections for the years prior to 2022 be added to the Alma CZ? We are particularly interested in yearly subject specific collections for the following subjects:

    Political Science
    Literature
    Business & Management
    Classical Studies
    Economics and Finance
    History
    Linguistics
    Neuroscience
    Philosophy
    Psychology
    Public Health and Epidemiology
    Religion
    Social Work

    Thank you!

    Hello,

    We will reach out to this provider and check if they can send us metadata that we can use.

    Please be advised, that although this is Open Access, we will need to confirm with our legal department that the metadata can be used.

  10. Target/Collection: ASTM journals hosted on ASME platform

    ASTM (American Society of Testing and Materials) is in the process of moving their journals from their ASTM Standards and Engineering Digital Library database to another society's (ASME (American Society of Mechanical Engineers)) platform, see https://asmedigitalcollection.asme.org/astm-journals .

    There are portfolios for the ASTM journals set up under the ASME Digital Collection Journals collection (Collection ID: 611000000000000172). I've activated a second version of that collection, given it the 'ASTM Digital Library Journals' public name and activated the ASTM journal portfolios under that collection. Since the ASTM journals are purchased separately, it seems to me that they should be under a separate…

  11. CDI collection for Elsevier Open Access articles

    Could you please add a CDI database only collection with links in record for Elsevier open access articles?

    There is no longer an Elsevier open access knowledge base collection https://ideas.exlibrisgroup.com/forums/574345-content/suggestions/43048611-add-elsevier-open-access-collection-to-alma-cz

    And I think this would work better as a CDI collection given how many OA articles there are in hybrid journals.

    For example, 76,000 archival articles were made open as the result of a large United States Library consortia agreement:
    https://scholarlykitchen.sspnet.org/2022/03/16/retroactively-open-elsevier-backflips-for-nerl-agreement/

    And these OA articles should be more easily discoverable via a dedicated CDI link in record collection.
