Idunn open access e-books

We would like to see open access e-books from Universitetsforlaget added as a separate e-collection in Alma CZ. For more details, see this link:
https://www.universitetsforlaget.no/en/boker/apen-tilgang

Note that there are two Idunn e-collections in CZ already:
Idunn.no (all Idunn portfolios)
IDUNN Open Acess Journals

Unit – The Norwegian Directorate for ICT and Joint Services in Higher Education and Research are administering an Open Access collection with journals within the humanities and social sciences. We would like this collection to be included in
Alma's Community Zone.

Name of the collection: 'Norske OA humsam-tidsskrift'

We would love to see MARCIVE's GPO database added to the PCI.

There is currently no discovery for Learning Express. This database is used by all libraries in Texas and should be added to the Community Zone and PCI for indexing and discovery.

In the CZ there is an existing collection (613790000000001601) for the Open Textbook Catalog.

Compared to the MARC records available at https://open.umn.edu/opentextbooks/discovery the CZ collection has fewer titles (651 vs 766 as of 07/13/2020).

Also the CZ bibliographic records are extremely brief and usually have nothing more than a title in the 245 field. The bib records from open.umn.edu are fuller with author, title, publisher, content and summary notes and subject headings.

This request is to ask Exlibris to use the publicly available MARC bib records from the open.umn.edu website to enhance the existing CZ collection.

Thank you.

F-Mesh is a bilingual French/English version of the Medical Subject Headings (Mesh).
We are a French speaking Library network using MARC21. We were very happy to hear that Alma now includes F-Mesh as a subject headings vocabulary. However, as it is available only in UNIMARC, we cannot use it. If you are in the same situation, then don’t hesitate to vote for this Idea!

Dear support

Referring to the Salesforce Case 593244 there is a need for a new target for Ebooks in the Tectum E-library.

Therefor I kindly ask you to create a target TECTUM_ELIBRARY

The URL to the collection is the following: http://www.tectum-elibrary.de/

Thank you and kind regards

The Pressbooks Directory (https://pressbooks.directory/) indexes over 2000 open access books created by educational institutions. As many of these are not indexed separately, it would be great if the contents of the directory could be included in the Alma Community Zone and/or the Central Discovery Index.

Please add connections for the Kanopy streaming video database for Discovery (Summon) and the Knowledgebase (360 KB).

Created from a collaboration between EBSCO and BiblioLabs, EBSCO Open Dissertations™ is a new, free electronic theses and dissertations database offering access to more than 800,000 ETDs. It is available to all and searchable at www.opendissertations.org.

Records for publications contained in British Online Archives should be added to Primo Central. The resource is published by Microform Academic Publishers and is available at https://www.britishonlinearchives.co.uk/

There are a number of collections within this resource (about 60). I am not sure whether all subscriptions offer the full range of content or whether the separate collections will need to be managed within Primo Central.

They have full-text indexing of the materials so ideally this would be available in Primo Central too.

The Think Tank Repository of the Library of Council of the European Union monitors worldwide the publications of 250 Think Tanks on EU affairs. It is a precious and useful ressource of literature.

Consider to add the Perlego collection to the CZ of Alma.

The vendor provides an online library of academic resources with over 400,000 titles in several topics.

Many international publishers are participate in the collection which can be very useful for academic institutions especially for textbooks.
