← 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.
  3. Other - for non provider specific ideas

If you want to add an institutional repository, please open a case and follow the documentation here:

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.

    Hello,

    This collection only contains ~6,500 titles in Full Text, the rest are abstracts only.

    We will proceed to create this collection with the Full Text titles in Alma CZ.

    I will update once I have a timeline.

  8. Add CDI link-in record records for 3 JoVE Encyclopedia of Experiments collections

    JoVE, an existing provider partner of Ex Libris, has contributed many video collections to the CZ. Most of the collections have CDI link in record records we can activate. The MARCs and portfolios for JoVE are very poor (because these are video collections, so it's not possible to generate good data from the KBART files loaded to produce the portfolios and bibs), so it is very important that there be link in record records we can activate instead. However, for 3 JoVE Encyclopedia of Experiments collections, there are portfolios and bibs but no link in record records. Could Ex Libris…

  14. Oxford Scholarship Online Yearly subject specific collections for years prior to 2022

    Most of the Oxford Scholarship Online subject specific collections only have yearly collections that go back to 2022 (for example Classical Studies has a 2022 and 2023 collection). Could yearly collections for the years prior to 2022 be added to the Alma CZ? We are particularly interested in yearly subject specific collections for the following subjects:

    Political Science
    Literature
    Business & Management
    Classical Studies
    Economics and Finance
    History
    Linguistics
    Neuroscience
    Philosophy
    Psychology
    Public Health and Epidemiology
    Religion
    Social Work

    Hello,

    Apologies for the delay in my response.

    We will reach out to the provider and ask for the title list.

    If we use the title list you provided, we will not be able to create this as an automatically updated collection, and it will be configured as "managed by community". So we prefer to ask the provider for an updated title location that can be automated.

    Kind regards,

  18. Enrich CZ bib data for Africa Commons: Southern African Films and Documentaries

    The Africa Commons: Southern African Films and Documentaries collection is a collection of films from Africa. It looks like the portfolios and bibs were created by loading a KBART file. That process creates bib records that contain very little data (just a 245 title, a 260 publisher, and a 906 VIDEO). See attached example of a typical bib in this collection. Could Ex Libris please work with the provider, Coherent Digital, to overlay the brief bibs with full bibs? This is a collection of films from southern Africa that are not available from any other source, so enriching this bib…

    Hi Andrew,

    Hello,
    We will reach out to IEEE, and ask for the metadata for this collection.

    We are reluctant to use customer provided title lists because then we cannot automate the collections and they will not be updated with any additions, removals or changes.

    Also, one customer's holdings may not reflect other customer's holdings so we prefer to use the provider feed.
    Thanks,
