← 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.

    Hello all,

    As previously updated, this content is already available in our Delivery products.

    Following discussions with Lexis we have reached the mutual conclusion that at this time Ex Libris will not be able to ingest this content in our Discovery products.
    Lexis are currently unable to provide Ex Libris with the metadata in a format that we can properly process.

  11. Index the Hathitrust content in PCI similarly to the way it is in Summon

    This request is not for a new collection but for optimizing the existing Hathitrust collection in PCI to behave similarly to the way it does in Summon.

    Search from PCI (Every Issue has hit in search result >200):
    https://purdue-primo-prod.hosted.exlibrisgroup.com/primo-explore/search?query=any,contains,missionary%20review%20of%20the%20world&tab=default_tab&search_scope=everything&sortby=rank&vid=PURDUE_NEW&facet=domain,include,HathiTrust%20Digital%20Library&offset=0
    screenshot:
    http://www.awesomescreenshot.com/image/2485517/08b0f790b68d948cf79d10fcc5e3705a

    http://bsu.summon.serialssolutions.com/?#!/search?ho=t&l=en&q=%22missionary%20review%20of%20the%20world%22
    Screenshot:
    http://www.awesomescreenshot.com/image/2485566/5bac59255959f28529931d8c791a6f31

    This search seemingly only has two hits for the journal coming from Hathi vs. the >200 for PCI. Not hard to imagine what is better for patrons?

    The summon search result is almost perfect, yet still could be improved slightly by linking to the…

  19. French MeSH (Medical Subject Headings) vocabulary implementation

    As a scientific librarian in a French-speaking university hospital in Switzerland, I would like to have the opportunity for our library users to search also with French medical subject headings.

    The NLM (National Library of Medicine) MeSH vocabulary https://www.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/ is already implemented in Alma but Inserm (Institut national de la santé et de la recherche médicale) https://www.inserm.fr/ did its translation http://mesh.inserm.fr/FrenchMesh/ and is available for download here http://mesh.inserm.fr/FrenchMesh/conditions_en.htm

    The implementation of French MeSH would be very useful for users to search with controlled terms in their own language and / or for library professionals to set cross-references between French and…
