← 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.

  4. Better Metadata for HANSER_ELIBRARY_BOOKS

    The bib records in the electronic collection Hanser Elibrary Books are very poor and sometimes even wrong.

    i.e. MMS-ID 993440000000000927:
    LDR -----cam-a22-----z--4500
    008 210309u1916uuuuuuuuu-|-o----u|----|dut-d
    035 __ |a (CKB)3440000000000927
    245 00 |a VoIP Praxisleitfaden
    776 __ |z 3-446-44491-2
    776 __ |z 3-446-44814-4
    906 __ |a BOOK

    Authors, title and other bibliographic information are missing, year and language are wrong.

    The publisher Hanser offers libraries much better metadata, therefore I suggest to improve it in the CZ.

  8. Include additional ASTM content in Primo Central Index

    Currently, the journal articles, symposia papers, STPs, and research reports, are not included, so users have to go to the ASTM Compass database directly to locate those resources.

  9. Center for Research Libraries full text collection in PCI

    We would like to see a new subcollection in Primo Central Index for the Center for Research Libraries "Online Catalog".

    Records in the Online Catalog PCI collection currently link to both CRL metadata only records and CRL records with digitized content.

    If there was a CRL Online Catalog Full Text Only collection (with Link in Record) that only contained "Available online for Center for Research Libraries" (excluding the "Hathitrust available" records) we could activate that collection with assurance our users would be pointed to full text content.

    This content would only be available to CRL members.

    Dear Dana McFarland,

    A new comment was received for case #00740133:

    Case Title: Journal title: Decolonization: Indigeneity, Education & Society - Content not included in Summon Index?

    Last comment:
    Hi Dana,

    Thank you for bringing this to our attention!

    It does indeed looks like we do not currently have any article-level records for the journal Decolonization: Indigeneity, Education & Society (ISSN: 1929-8692) in the Summon Index.

    Hello,

    Most of the collections are available in the KBs.

    The missing ones are:

    1. British Library Manuscripts Part I and II
    2. Luso-Brazilian History and Culture: Oliveira Lima Library I & II
    3. Early Arabic Printed Books Religion & Law
    4. Early Arabic Printed Books Science & History
    5. Early Arabic Printed Books Christian Literature

    We will reach out to Gale to establish a feed for these collections.

    Thanks for your support,

  14. Collection: Unglue.it open access books

    unglue.it provides free MARC records for its collection of open access ebooks (see https://unglue.it/libraries/)

    This would be useful both for discovery (complementing other open access resources) and as a collection for CZ (so we could choose to activate either specific titles or the whole collection.)

    (From previous conversations with them I'm sure they'd very much welcome working on this with Ex Libris.)

    Many citations for them are already in CrossRef so users are aware of the content.
