← Have an idea for Ex Libris?

Your feedback matters to us. Help us to extend our discovery indexes, KnowledgeBases and Community Zone by telling us what collections and data you’d like to see us add, using the message areas below. You can also support something already posted.
If you are suggesting new content for Discovery that is not yet in the Knowledgebase you do not need to submit two entries (one for Discovery and one for Knowledgebase)
Specifically you can suggest:
• New collections for Discovery (Primo Central and Summon)
• New collections for the Knowledgebase (Alma CZ, SFX KB and 360 KB)
• New authority files to be added to the Community Zone
• Enrichment of Community Zone bibliographic records for certain collections

We would love to be able to respond to every idea that is submitted, but this is not feasible. We are, however, committed to responding to the most popular ideas—those that have received the most points.
For more information please review our FAQ and guidelines. Thank you.

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".

  2. Add a metadata correction layer for PCI

    Many times when we found wrong metadata in PCI and reported to Ex Libris for correction, it took them a long time to contact the data vendors to make the corrections. Sometimes they never can get response or correction from the vendors, and the wrong metadata stayed in PCI without any changes. The wrong metadata is really misleading and cannot generate the correct OpenURLs for users to reach the full text articles. I would suggest Ex Libris to build an internal metadata correction layer for the PCI data to improve its quality. With this layer, even the vendors don't correct…

    Over the past months we have attempted to reach out to this provider unsuccessfully.
    If anyone from the community has a contact person at La Mia Biblioteca please send us this information so that perhaps we can establish communication.
    If we cannot establish contact we will need to decline this request.

    Thank you,

  5. Brepolis Databases

    Brepols Publishers is an international academic publisher of works in the humanities. The focus of its publications lies in "source-works" from Antiquity, the Middle Ages and the Early Modern period. By this is meant critical editions of original texts and documents in their original language, reference works such as encyclopaedias, handbooks and bibliographies, as well as monograph studies and cutting-edge research.

    The following Brepolis databases (online encyclopedias, handbooks and bibliographies) would significantly enrich the indexes if there were added to Primo Central and Summon:
    - L'Année Philologique
    - Bibliography of British and Irish History
    - International Medieval Bibliography
    - Bibliographie…

  6. LinkedIn Learning Videos

    please see https://learning.linkedin.com/en-us/partners to become a partner for LinkedIn Learning (formerly Lynda.com) for bib records for their online courses. I believe this should be in CDI and/orPCI.

    Hello all,

    As you are aware, we have made many attempts to establish contact with Lynda.com, and now LinkedIn, for the purpose of ingesting this content in our Index.

    We are reaching out to our community with the hopes that you can assist us in creating the necessary momentum to reach an agreement with LinkedIn.

    Until that time, this Idea will be on hold.

    Best,
    Rael

  7. Add Ebooks Minnesota collection to Alma CZ and Primo Central

    Please add the Ebooks Minnesota collection to both the Alma CZ and the Primo Central Index. This collection is freely accessible to all people located in the state of Minnesota and is therefore used by every Minnesota library (public, K12, higher ed, etc.). The MARC records are available from Minitex: https://mndigital.org/projects/ebooks-minnesota/faq#marc

  10. E-Book target for SFX - NOMOS

    Dear support

    In the attachment I send you a list with open access titles of the publisher Nomos, which should therefore have an appropriate target attached to them. May I kindly ask you to create a target named " NOMOSELIBRARYOPENACCESSEBOOKS" and attach it to the titles in the attachment?

    Many thanks and best wishes

  12. British Online Archives

    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.

  13. Classiques Sciences Sociales Free

    Classiques Sciences Sociales Free collection is composed of more than 4,300 portfolios. Most of the records are very poor: only the title, one author, and the eISBN. The publication date in 008/7-10 is usually incorrect.
    Full Marc records exist for these items and are available under certain conditions (for libraries) at http://classiques.uqac.ca/inter/telechargement_notices.php?lang=en
    Note also that Les Classiques des sciences sociales actually contain more than 6,500 free works http://classiques.uqac.ca . A general update of this collection would be welcome.

    Before closing this Idea, I would like to reach out to you to inquire if you have a contact person that we could reach out to once again, in the hopes of promoting this Idea.

    Please kindly comment here or feel free to send me contact details directly.

    Thank you,

  14. Missing subtarget FIAF_INTERNATIONAL_INDEX_TO_FILM_PERIODICALS_JOURNALS (publisher OVID)

    Dear support

    Referring to Salesforce case 00552970, I like to ask you to create a subtarget FIAFINTERNATIONALINDEXTOFILMPERIODICALSJOURNALS and attach the target "OVID" to it. The URL is http://ovidsp.uk.ovid.com/sp-3.30.0b/ovidweb.cgi, the content equals the one available on FIAF via EBSCO.

    Can you contact the provider OVID, so that he can allow his version of FIAF to be added to the SFX KB?

    Thank you.

    Kind regards,

  16. Add Project MUSE ALL ebook collection to Community Zone

    The Alma Community Zone knowledge base doesn't include a collection for all Project MUSE ebooks regardless of package/year (nearly 50,000 titles).

    It's available as a KBART file on the MUSE website and I believe it's regularly updated: https://muse.jhu.edu/cgi-bin/buildkbartfile.cgi?type=book&collectionID=all

    Could you please add this to the CZ?

    Thank you.

    Hello,

    This request is specifically for the addition of HeinOnline collections into Summon and Primo Central. We are working to contact the vendor to address the necessary legal agreements.
    We will update when progress is made with the vendor.

    HeinOnline collections are already available in 360, SFX, and Alma.
