← 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.

  3. Proquest - Separate collections or services for citation/abstract only titles

    We have a lot of confusion when titles appear in Community Zone Proquest collections and display in Primo as full-text when in fact these titles are only available as abstract/citation from Proquest. It would be good if we could have separate collections or services from the Community Zone for these titles rather than one Proquest collection including Full text and Citation/Abstract titles without differentiation between of which are which.

    Hello,

    Following analysis we discovered an issue with these collections that has been resolved.
    The collections are now separated as expected.

    Thank you for raising this matter to our attention.
    For future reference, please note that a Support Case would suffice to report this issue.

    Best,

    Hello,

    We have successfully performed an update to the Lynda.com content in SFX and Alma (available in the coming release).

    Please Note that we will continue to work with LinkedIn to see if we can receive ongoing updates. There are no current plans to add this to Discovery, as we are still in talks to reach an agreement.

    Thank you,

  7. Add Cambridge Journals 2018 North American Full Package

    Please add this package ASAP. We'd like to see these new title packages at the beginning of a new calendar year. As it is, we either need to take the time to create a local package or we leave our users without accurate holding info. This is not the time-saving we're supposed to realize with the Alma CZ.

  9. Ebsco eBook Nursing Collection

    Various Ebsco collections have been nominated but the Nursing collection hasn't been mentioned so far that I can see, so have added that as well. I hope Ex Libris counts up ALLl the Ebsco votes for various collections to realise that this is something that is urgently needed.

  10. Please add bioRxiv https://www.biorxiv.org/ to Primo Central

    bioRxiv (pronounced "bio-archive") is a free online archive and distribution service for unpublished preprints in the life sciences. It is operated by Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, a not-for-profit research and educational institution. By posting preprints on bioRxiv, authors are able to make their findings immediately available to the scientific community and receive feedback on draft manuscripts before they are submitted to journals.

  11. Primo Central index - American Society of Civil Engineers - ASCE Journals

    Currently in Primo Central Index there are collections available to activate for ASCE ebooks, ASCE Proceedings, ASCE Standards in addition to the main ASCE Library [all content] option. The Journals option is described as NESLI2 Journals 2014. Could we have an 'American Society of Civil Engineers - ASCE Journals' option which is not linked to a specific licence/deal?

    Hello all,

    We have added this list of collections to our Delivery products.

    As for the enrichment request, to add MARC records to the Alma CZ, at this time we have not reached an agreement with the provider to enable us to move forward with this project.
    That said, we are in high-level management discussions, and should there be any change to this status, we will gladly ingest the provider’s MARC records to enrich the Alma CZ.

    Best,
    Rael

  17. Add Ebsco subject ebook collections to the CZ

    EbscoHost has a number ofsubscribable subject ebook collections that are not present in the CZ. Just as Ebook Central's various subscribable collections (Academic Complete, College Complete, University Press, Reference, Reference Research) are in the CZ as separate collecitons, so should the EbscoHost collections be in there so that they can be activated as a collection, rather than forcing libraries to choose between not providing access to these collection titles at all or acitivating each title one by one in the full EbscoHost ebook collection. EbscoHost book collection. My library specifically needs the EbscoHost Education ebook collection to be added to…

  18. Provide a seamless, timely and automatic workflow for ingesting Jisc KB+ data into the Alma Community Zone.

    We subscribe to the majority of our eresource content via nationally negotiated eresource deals (Jisc Collections, WHEEL). Jisc’s KB+ product (https://www.kbplus.ac.uk/kbplus/) maintains a knowledgebase which includes comprehensive title and package information for these EResources.

    We would like ExLibris to harvest the KB+ title lists from the KB+ publicly accessible export page (https://www.kbplus.ac.uk/kbplus/publicExport) on a daily basis to ensure that all new and updated title lists in the Alma Community Zone are identical to the title lists in KB+.

    We would like ExLibris to identify the KB+ title lists in the Alma Community Zone with a KB+…

    Hello all,

    We are very happy to announce that we have released a game-changing API that we worked very closely with KB+ to develop. As part of this API the Ex Libris SFX and Alma products will have an automated process that identifies a new collection by KB+ and automatically creates this new collection in the system, as well as setting up the ongoing updates.
    This development took us several months and extensive collaboration with the KB+ team. We have completed testing and plan to monitor this process over the coming months when new collections become available, with an expected turnaround of up to two weeks.

    Best,
    Rael

  19. Updating the ‘University Press Scholarship Online’ CZ interface name

    Could you please consider updating the Community Zone interface from ‘University Press Scholarship Online’ to ‘Oxford Scholarship Online’. We think it would be clearer and overall more useful for students and staff at institutions using the Community Zone resources. This is used for a numbe rof Oxford Scholarship CZ e-Collections. For example on Collection ID # 61198889130002386.
