← 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. The ideas for new providers will be annually prioritized via the CERV process.
  3. Other - for non provider specific ideas

If you want to add an institutional repository, please open a case and follow the documentation here:

**Please be aware that ideas with no comments or votes for the past three years, and have less than 30 votes, will be closed. The closed ideas will still be available for review, and the votes will be freed up for supporting other content ideas.

**If you are a content provider, please review the submission guides for more information on how to reach out

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.

  5. Stop indexing “Book reviews” in CDI

    These documents generate a lot of link problems. Each review is generally indexed separately and is the subject of a separate CDI record.

    Problem 1
    This creates confusion for users, who believe they have access to the reviewed work, but it is usually only a brief summary, which creates frustration (in addition to polluting the database because the title they are really looking for is often buried among numerous review records).

    Problem 2
    This creates problems with links. Book reviews on journal websites are often grouped together in a single section of the issue, and the links in the CDI…

  7. Add Educ'Arte Video

    Hello,

    could you add Educ'Arte Video as Campus Arte (https://ideas.exlibrisgroup.com/forums/574345-content/suggestions/48797672-add-arte-video-campus) ?

    Hello,

    As this is a new provider, we are still working on onboarding their content to the Knowledgebases and CDI.

    We will add this collection to the list we are asking from them, and it would be helpful if you could also mention to the provider that you are interested in adding their metadata to Ex Libris products.

    Kind regards,

  17. "Roper Center for Public Opinion Research" https://ropercenter.cornell.edu/

    Roper Center has an Alma Community collection records with no portfolios. Roper has their own catalog, with study-level metadata that can be crosswalked into Dublin Core if not fullblown MARC.
    Roper regularly add new studies to their collection, so dynamic feeds into Alma Community would be a great idea.

  18. Gale US Declassified Documents Online

    Hello, can Ex Libris please work with Gale to get this collection indexed in CDI? There are ten existing database collection in the CZ, but none have portfolios, and they don't have CDI access. Gale's page for the collection states that there are over 700,000 resources in the collection, so portfolio-level access doesn't seem realistic.

    Thanks,

  20. Index Artist Profile

    I'd like to propose that the journal 'Artist Profile' be indexed directly from the provider. Artist Profile is an essential journal for arts researchers in Australia, and it would be very valuable to have it be discoverable in our system rather than having users having to search directly in their website.
