← 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.

  2. lived places publishing

    Hello,
    I previously submitted a request for this provider to be loaded into the community zone (case 06660914), but it was closed due to no timeline being reached. Since some time has passed, I hope to try again and see if the content can be loaded into the community zone. The main contact remains David Parker (david@livedplacespublishing.com).
    Thank you!

  3. Please add the second release of Drama Online Core Collection Annual Update 2023 (UK, Commonwealth, Europe) to 360 KB

    Please note that this is the second annual update 2023 for Drama Online Core collection (they have two updates a year). The first annual update 2023 is already on 360KB.

    Bloomsbury advise that they've already supplied the title list and MARC records to discovery partners.

    Also, could you add the MARC records to the title metadata for entries on 360KB for Bloomsbury databases (Drama Online and others)? I noticed that they're not there for the collections I've checked, although Bloomsbury do supply them. Thank you

    Hello,

    The updates have been processed for this Bloomsbury collection.

    Regarding the brief records, it is being updated and the MARCs are used to address these issues.

    We are progressing with Bloomsbury to ensure the records are enriched and updates are processed according to the metadata they send.

    Kind regards,

    Tamar

  11. ebony magazine archive

    Please consider changing this collection type from a database to a aggregated collection. It is an archive of one journal title, Ebony magazine. Not having the portfolio of Ebony magazine makes discovery challenging for our users because it is appearing in primo as a database and not a journal. The journal/portfolio title should be Ebony magazine archive: 11/01/1945 to 06/01/2014
