360Link usage stats for un-normalized journal titles and CJK (Chinese, Japanese and Korean) titles
In current specification of 360Link usage stats, admin can not get detailed journal usage stats for un-normalized journal titles from "By Title and ISSN (Journal Title)".
Especially, admins in Japan (probably Korea and China are the same),are unsatisfied with that they can not get the usage of titles they registered in Library Specific Holdings and CJK(Chinese, Japanese and Korean) titles.
I hope it would be improved.21 votesThis is not an Alma issue, an enhancement for 360 Usage Statistics has been created for this request.

CZ AMD bib material type revised
There are many AMD related collections (Collection ID: 61616107200003966; Collection ID: 61616086800003966 and so on) in ALMA CZ. We found many resources bib material type are defined as JOURNAL, which is wrong compared with the real situation(They may be manscript,document ,photograph in the database platform). However, we cannot upload electronic material type in batch to replace.
We think CZ should confirm and fix the wrong bib material type.

I could not find the collection ID's you mentioned.
