← 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".

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.

  2. ARTE Campus - Switzerland

    ARTE Campus (https://campus.arte.tv/) is also available in Switzerland. However, due to geographic restrictions, the video selection differs slightly from the French catalog.
    The platform offers around 3,000 videos (as of December 2025), with transcriptions in five languages, including documentary series, short films, and recorded programmes and podcasts.
    Is it possible to create a specific catalog reflecting the content available in Switzerland?
    Their team is ready to provide the list of titles available for Switzerland.

  5. Cappelen Damm Open Access ebooks

    We request the creation of a separate e-collection in Alma CZ for open access ebooks from Cappelen Damm Forskning. This is the research publishing division of Cappelen Damm Akademisk.

    https://cdforskning.no/cdf/catalog/newReleases
    Via the link above, you can find their academic open access book releases. Many of these books are published in Norwegian, a language we naturally want to promote for our students and researchers.

    Please note that Cappelen Damm Forskning is already a content provider in Alma CZ. The records for their OA ebooks are available through the OAPEN (613450000000000043) and DOAB (613680000000000027) e-collections. Since these records already exist in CZ…

  7. Add University of Toronto Press eBook collection

    Hello, can you please work with the University of Toronto Press to add an eBook collection for the Press? There is an existing collection for "University of Toronto Press" (Collection ID: 611000000000001593), but it only contains journals. There are over 7,000 ebooks available on the platform, but I could not locate any titles in the CZ that direct to the platform.

    Thanks,

    Kevin

    Hello,

    We will check with EIU regarding metadata for CDI or to add portfolios for a full text collection.

    For CDI metadata we may need to setup an agreement, which can take time. And for a full text collection the records may not have enough metadata to be properly presented in the Knowledgebases.

    I will update the idea once I have some information to share.

    Kind regards,
