Add "subscribe by email" and other ways to monitor CKB release notes
It is crucial for us to monitor CKB release notes to ensure that collection activations are appropriately revised in response to changes. At present, the only way to monitor the notes is by RSS feed, which is cumbersome -- it is very easy to miss changes with only RSS feed updates. Please add other means of monitoring these changes, such as subscribing to the release notes by email.

MOOC, Open Courses and Open Coursewares
As helpful to newbies on curtain subject as other results already included in Summon Index.
Index the resourses from Coursera, edX, HarvardX, or any MOOC platform around the world. As well as OCWs at MIT, etc.
Many popular courses are hosted on multiple platforms, so they need to be generalized by name and teachers, like what EJP does for journals, I suppose.

These titles provide globally relevant, peer-reviewed multi-disciplinary content with particular strengths in Education and Social Sciences.

Alma currently provides access to over 50 authorities in several languages, unfortunately RVM is not one of them. Consequently, our cataloguing process for French materials is much slower than the process for materials in other languages as we need to consult RVM website every time when searching for French…

Unfortunately, Ex Libris will not be able to include RVM in Alma CZ due to contractual disagreements which cannot be resolved.
