← 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.

  1. New Database Request - SAGE:Jisc Collections:SAGE Journals Read and Publish 2023-2024: Reading List - 360 KB

    A new Jisc agreement has been released for SAGE Journals covering 2023-2024. We therefore need a new database in 360 KB to reflect the current collection and replace the now out-of-date database that covered the 2020-2022 agreement [Sage:Jisc Collections:SAGE Journals Read & Publish 2020-2022 Agreement (Reading List) AIOMO]

    Master list can be obtained via the KB+ Exports Page:
    https://www.kbplus.ac.uk/kbplus7/publicExport/pkg/3027

    We also need article-level linking. AIOMO has article level linking in place and the platform has not changed so the same linking principles should still apply.

  2. Kanopy Base Collection

    Hello,
    Recently we've had 15 member libraries purchase the new "Kanopy Base Collection". In addition CARLI staff know of at least four other I-Share Alma libraries with significant Kanopy streaming video purchases.

    Here's a quick description of the newly offered "Kanopy Base Collection" with a link to an example title list. https://www.lyrasis.org/content/Pages/product-details.aspx?pid=3747DED9-9754-ED11-80FE-00155D0A2732

    I've checked the content road map and release notes, however, I found nothing from Kanopy "coming soon" beyond the "database" type e-collections in the Community Zone.

    Please consider adding a selective package or aggregator for the Kanopy Base collection.

    Thank you,
    Denise Green, CARLI

  3. JSTOR Archival Journal & Primary Source Collection

    JSTOR has created a new single collection composed of all JSTOR Archival Journal and Primary Source collections. Having one comprehensive JSTOR collection rather than multiple discipline collections would be great.

  4. The House Magazine - PoliticsHome

    Please can you add the content from The House magazine to the Summon Knowledge Base. It is available from Freely Accessible Social Science Journals as PoliticsHome.
    https://www.politicshome.com/thehouse/magazine.htm

    The resource is the UK Parliament's in-house magazine and access at an article level via Summon would be very useful.

  8. Break up IBISWorld into sub-collections

    The existing IBISWorld collection (IBISWorld Alma ID 6113915960000041 DBID 6EY) is for the entire platform, but many customers license only a subset of that content. The smaller IBISWorld collections in the CZ are not connected to a CDI DB and they aren't complete (e.g., there's no collection for the Ontario Provincial Reports). Please make more subset collections and CDI DBs for them.

    Hello,

    We are adding sub-collections for IBISWorld.

    Most recently we added Australia Industry Reports, Collection ID: 614970000000000761.

    Other collections in the future will be added as zero title databases with the full metadata in CDI only, due to the metadata insufficient which creates brief records which cannot be enriched.

    Kind regards,

  13. Improve the metadata of Dalloz Bibliothèque in CZ and CDI

    • Dalloz Bibliothèque
    • Collection ID : 613680000000000037
    • CDI Collection ID (DB ID): O7M
    • Material type : books (currently : 2576)

    The quality of the metadata for Dalloz Bibliothèque in the CZ and CDI is extremely poor (sometimes only one title). Please, consider enriching the metadata with those coming from the SUDOC (more complete and of better quality). Enrichment could perhaps be based on the PPN (SUDOC identifier) that you have already injected into the CZ records?

    "Until recently it was impossible for sociologists, anthropologists, historians of attitudes and social psychologists to develop the study of religion in modern Latin America into a field of teaching and research. The documents pertaining to the colonial period are, of course, preserved and often well edited. But the publications of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries that deal with local devotions and syncretist rituals, religious iconography and poetry, and the…
