Caribbean Search>Add Full Text Service, Portfolios
While there is a CZ database collection for Caribbean Search, there are no portfolios. As this is a full text collection, we would like to see the portfolios added.

Unfortunately, this idea did not gather enough votes since posted.
Therefore we will close it and it will remain as a no-portfolio database.

Availability of SJR in EJP
BrowZine offers the SJR for each magazine. If that was an option in the EJP, we could let go of BrowZine and have students go straight to the EJP for everything full-text journal-related.

Enable the addition of an "institutionId" parameter to the service for CREDOreference Academic Core Backfile
Without the additional "institutionId" parameter, if signing in using SAML or OpenAthens the link generated by the parser does not know the institution you have linked from. You will be challenged to select institution and then taken to the sign in page. Once this is resolved you are taken to the Credo Reference homepage as it has forgotten the original linking parameter. This is resolved by adding the parameter ?institutionId=1234 (where 1234 is your institution ID).
Please add the institionId as an optional parameter that is added to the url that is generated by the parser.1 voteHello,
Please submit this request as a support case so that our team can address this linking change request directly.
Thank you,

Ensuring Journal Titles are displayed in correct case in Primo
Generally journal titles tend to be displayed in sentence case rather than headline case. Is there any setting we can do in Primo to ensure that Journal Titles are displayed in the correct case?
This creates problems when the records are exported to EndNote via .ris file export. Is there any setting we can do in Primo to ensure that Journal Titles are displayed in the correct case?
According to ExLIBRIS, the journal title (JF tag) is taken from the PNX addata/jtitle. If this field is written in lower case, the journal title will be exported the same. For CDI…1 voteHello,

Add Scientific Research Publishing (SCIRP)
I would like to request the addition of Scientific Research Publishing (SCIRP) Open Access titles as a new collection or to an existing collection in the community

Please add collection for open access gaming journals
Many of the journals relating to the subject of "gaming" and "gaming production" are haphazardly categorized in multiple collections. Since this is an emerging field with a high percentage of Open Access titles, I was hoping that you could create a collection (similar to the "freely accessible xyz" collections already in existence) of free/open access gaming titles to collect them in one place. Attached is a list of suggestions
1 voteHello,
The freely accessible collections are not maintained by Ex Libris as there is no specific provider who takes ownership on these collections.
Similarly, we will not be able to aggregate and sustainably maintain a gaming specific collection since we rely on provider feeds and updates.
You are welcome to create such a collection and contribute it to the Community Zone for the benefit of other community members.

Add American Chemical Society : Advances in Chemistry Series to Alma CZ
Hello,
We have this database in Serials solutions 360, but I'm not finding it in Alma:
American Chemical Society :: Advances in Chemistry Series Code 3RK
It has 255 eBooks and 1 journal.
Thanks for considering adding it to Alma!1 voteHello,
There was a collection in Alma for Advances in Chemistry Series, but it was deleted in 2022.
We were informed by ACS that they no longer distinguishes their books as Advances in Chemistry and Symposium Series; all books are now under the ACS eBooks collection.
Since we do not receive a separate feed for Advances in Chemistry Series, we cannot maintain such a collection.

add missing alexander Street collection: Social and Cultural History: Letters and Diaries Online
Hello,
Please consider adding this collection to Alma CZ:Social and Cultural History: Letters and Diaries Online
https://search.alexanderstreet.com/lado1 voteHello,
Alexander Street is only able to provide MARC records for individual collections. For Alexander Street packages made up of multiple collections, such as Letters and Diaries Online, customers must activate all the individual Letters & Diaries CZ collections that comprise the package.
You can use the My Electronic Resources by Provider tool to automatically activate the collections.
Therefore this collection will not be added to the CZ.

Add America History & Life and Historical Abstracts
These are both key history databases whose usage would no doubt improve if they were indexed within Summon
1 voteHello,
Unfortunately, Ebsco does not supply Ex Libris with CDI metadata.
However, these resources are aptly represented in CDI:
America History & Life has 92% alternative coverage for the content in that database, and Historical Abstracts has 98% alternative coverage.
You can find that information in the CDI list CKC page
More about Alternative coverage can be found here:
