← 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.

    Hi Charlie,

    Unfortunately, Swank informed us they cannot provide us with enriched metadata at this time.

    Therefore I am closing this idea.

  2. Create collection for Nexis Uni Plus

    There's only one collection in the CZ for Nexis Uni (collection ID 613780000000001685) but there are two versions of this product available from the provider: Core and Plus.

    The Plus version includes extra content and, from my spot testing, it seems the current CZ collection is for the Core version.

    Please create a new collection for Nexis Uni Plus and rename the existing collection as Nexis Uni Core.

    Hello,

    According to the provider, there is no product they sell called Nexis Uni Plus.

    If you have any other information such as a URL to this product page, or any promotional material that details this specific product, please forward it directly to me

    Thanks,

  3. Add CDI Collection for Factiva Academic

    Could you please explore the possibility of creating a CDI collection for Factiva Academic with links in record (no portfolios)? Many publications in Factiva have "Selected coverage" and therefore are not available at the title level in the CZ collection (Collection ID: 61111037301464000). This means a significant amount of content is not being represented in the KB and I think moving this to a CDI collection would improve overall coverage as well as have more reliable full text linking.

    Hi Charlie,

    After reviewing the amount of metadata and its' potential, it will not be added to the CDI due to overlap and massive quantity.

    Hello,

    Respectfully, please open a support ticket for this issue as this needs to go to a different team for analysis.

    Requests for new collections or enrichment should be posted in Idea Exchange, while fixing errors in existing metadata should be tracked via support cases.

    Thank you for understanding.

    There is content on the CIAO platform besides journals and books. Content includes videos, research papers, policy briefs, working papers, country data and maps, etc. These do not appear to have individual portfolios. Could portfolios be created for these items to aid discovery?

    Please create a collection titled The Cancer Letter for two portfolios that are now in the collection "Miscellaneous Ejournals". Please make other changes outlined below as well.

    The existing provider is The Cancer Letter, Inc.

    The two existing portfolios are:
    The Cancer Letter: Portfolio ID: 53613678640007861
    The Clinical Cancer Letter: Portfolio ID: 53613678610007861

    They are both currently in Miscellaneous EJournals:
    Collection ID: 61613678680007861
    MMS ID: 991060498721707861

    The Clinical Cancer Letter became a section of The Cancer Letter in 2018, and that portfolio 53613678610007861 currently links to the Cancer Letter Archives. That is fine.

    Can a third portfolio be created in…

"I checked in CDI and the majority of our records for American journal of play come from ProQuest. ProQuest only has full text and citation coverage starting in 2012. Gale also indexes content from this journal, but they only start indexing content in 2014. With content on EBSCO, we have to rely on alternative coverage, because EBSCO does…

  16. Open Library of Humanities

    It seems Open Library of Humanities, https://www.openlibhums.org/, hasn't updated their title list in the 360 KB since 2020 (last full update was in 2015) (DB code ABAGC).

    Zygon is now part of Open Library of Humanities and we would like to be able to connect our users to it via Summon/360.

    I sent a message to Andy Byers via the OLH contact form, https://www.openlibhums.org/contact/, but also wanted to ask you all to follow up with them.

    Hello,

    "ひつじ研究叢書" is series title and the provider 丸善 is introducing it for sale or for marketing.

    You do not have to buy all the titles of the series, so there is no need in a new collection.

    Please select the relevant titles in 360, SFX, and Alma Marurzen Ebook Library (DBID:MOSFZ), and activate according to your agreement with Maruzen.

    Let me know directly if there are any issues with the suggested solution
