- 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.
- 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.

EBSCO Open Access Journals
Please add a target in SFX Knowledgebase for the collection EBSCO Open Access Journals.
5 votesHello,
Following a discussion with EBSCO, we have received the below information from them regarding this request:
---
I'd like to inform you that the collections provided are not databases due to which we are unable to provide title lists for these collections. These collections are available as packages in the Holdings Management knowledge base.
The customers can log in to their EBSCO admin account and download the title list for these collections by following the steps provided in the below FAQ.
https://connect.ebsco.com/s/article/Holdings-Management-Downloading-Your-Holdings
The title lists in the Holdings Management tab can only be downloaded if the packages are selected in their holdings. Also, the title list can be downloaded in KBART format from Holdings Management.

Index Theologicus
Please consider adding Index Theologicus in the Summon index. https://www.ixtheo.de/
"The new IxTheo is a comprehensive bibliography for theology and religious studies. It is now possible to search not only for articles, but also for monographs, databases and relevant Internet links."5 votesHello,
For requests to update the linking syntax for existing collections, please kindly submit a support case, so that our linking team can investigate and resolve this issue.
I am closing this request, as the collection is represented in the KBs as a “database” (collection without title list).
Thank you,

Amend all e-resource URLs to HTTPS, where appropriate, so we don't need to notify Ex Libris on an ad-hoc basis
Update e-resource URLs as publishers change their platforms. Keep track of these changes so we don't need to notify Ex Libris ad-hoc. Follow OCLC database stanza changes, and subscribe to publisher and aggregator alerts like the libraries do to maintain current awareness.

The Law Review Commons is an open-access source of law reviews
The paralegal studies program at my institution uses Law Review Commons as a source of law reviews in their program and assignments, and the ability to search through so many different law reviews in Summon would make their research so much more efficient when combined with the other resources we have available for them.

Update MathSciNet CZ collection
MathSciNet has many more journals in the database than are currently indexed the CZ collection (ID: 613800000000000364). See this list here: https://mathscinet.ams.org/mathscinet/2006/mathscinet/mrcit/journal_list.html Can this collection be reviewed? I think all those journals are available in full-text in the database...
4 votesHello,
We tried in the past to receive a CDI feed for MathSciNet, but were unsuccessful.
If you have information from the provider's side that this can be done, please reach out to me directly

Add "J-DAC" [丸善株式会社 (Maruzen Co., Ltd.)] to CDI
"J-DAC" (https://j-dac.jp/) is a Japanese service that provides access to multiple databases of historical and rare materials. Provider of this service is "丸善株式会社 (Maruzen Co., Ltd.)" and it already exists in KB.
We would like the individual databases covered by this service to be included in CDI.
4 votesHi,
We have contacted Maruzen in request to add the missing content.
The provider is not interested in sending us metadata for these collections.
Therefore we will not add these to the Knowledge Bases, please maintain them locally.

Updating the 'Ebook Central Perpetual and DDA Titles' CZ interface name
As we are unable to update CZ interfaces our self, could you consider updating the ProQuest eBook Central Community Zone interface from; “Ebook Central Perpetual and DDA Titles” to "ProQuest Ebook Central"? We currently name the collection in our local Alma environment the same (as we think this might help with indexing) and think it is not very helpful for our students and staff accessing material. We believed that "ProQuest Ebook Central" would be a much more clear collection interface that our users and users in other institutions would understand.
The current CZ collection has MMS ID# 995521883500041.3 votesHello,
Our naming convention for CZ-based collections is aligned with the names supported by the source providers.
If you require assistance with you IZ names, please submit a support case.
Thank you,
