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.

Target/Collection: University of Alberta Libraries OJS Journal Collection
The University of Alberta Library publishes a high quality collection of over 40 open access journals, many of whom have been publishing for over a decade https://journals.library.ualberta.ca/. These titles provide globally relevant, peer-reviewed multi-disciplinary content with particular strengths in Education and Social Sciences. Improved access to these resources will benefit researchers and students world-wide. Library publishers are important partners in knowledge creation and discovery, and we would like to work with Ex Libris to include important collections like these in their discovery environments.

Add Swank film database to Summon
Swank is in the Knowledge Base but not available to track in Summon. Can we make it available to track?
22 votesHello,
There are three Swank collections in the Knowledgebases:
SWANK_DIGITAL_CAMPUS_TOP_1000_VIDEOS
SWANK_DIGITAL_CAMPUS_TOP_1500_COLLECTION
SWANK_DIGITAL_CAMPUS_TOP_500_VIDEOSHowever, it is not possible for Swank to send metadata for discovery as their agreements do not allow sharing that level of metadata.

Add "RVM - le Répertoire de vedettes-matière" to Alma CZ
We suggest the addition of University Laval's RVM subject authorities to the Alma CZ:
https://rvmweb.bibl.ulaval.ca/rvmweb/contenu/contenu.do?chemin=/a-propos
We are a large bilingual (English-French) academic library, with more than 35% of our collection consisting of French materials. We create French cataloguing records, including French subject headings, for all titles in French that we hold.
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…
22 votesHello,
Unfortunately, Ex Libris will not be able to include RVM in Alma CZ due to contractual disagreements which cannot be resolved.
RVM is available for local management for subscribing institutions.

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.
20 votesHello,
I could not find the collection ID's you mentioned.
If this is still an issue, please open a support ticket.
