EIU Viewpoint - Add content to CDI
There is an EIU Viewpoint database in Alma. Can you ask EIU for metadata to add reports, forecasts, etc. to CDI? Or add portfolios to the collection?
3 votesHello,
We will check with EIU regarding metadata for CDI or to add portfolios for a full text collection.
For CDI metadata we may need to setup an agreement, which can take time. And for a full text collection the records may not have enough metadata to be properly presented in the Knowledgebases.
I will update the idea once I have some information to share.
