← 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

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.

  1. Proquest - Separate collections or services for citation/abstract only titles

    We have a lot of confusion when titles appear in Community Zone Proquest collections and display in Primo as full-text when in fact these titles are only available as abstract/citation from Proquest. It would be good if we could have separate collections or services from the Community Zone for these titles rather than one Proquest collection including Full text and Citation/Abstract titles without differentiation between of which are which.

    Hello,

    Following analysis we discovered an issue with these collections that has been resolved.
    The collections are now separated as expected.

    Thank you for raising this matter to our attention.
    For future reference, please note that a Support Case would suffice to report this issue.

    Best,
    Rael

  3. Add videos from NFB Campus to the knowledge base (https://www.nfb.ca/education/campus/)

    The National Film Board of Canada (NFB) is Canada's publicly-funded film production house. Almost all Canadian libraries subscribe to their videostreaming service, Campus (https://www.nfb.ca/education/campus/), so we would like to be able to track the content in Summon and 360 Link.

  11. JSTOR Path to Open Ebooks

    The first 100 titles in JSTOR's new Path to Open initiative will be live on their platform in October. The title list is already available so it would be great if Ex Libris could work to add the new collection in time for when the titles go live.
    https://about.jstor.org/path-to-open/titles/

    Please treat this as an annual ebook collection as 2024, 2025, 2026 will have discrete collections and libraries can opt whether to participate in just one year or all years.
