← 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:

**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.

  1. Update Arianta : Polish Scientific and Professional Electronic Journals on KB & CZ

    Since last update in 2020, Arianta , code Y2W, has included more journals than 5 years ago.

    Please add ProQuest access numbers for collection id 613170000000000058. When patrons find these records in Primo and create Resource Sharing requests, our RS team needs to spend too much time searching for the access numbers so that they can purchase copies of dissertations.

    Hello,

    Unfortunately, Elsevier does not provide a sustainable updated title list for this collection.

    Therefore, Ex Libris cannot maintain this collection in the CZ, and it can be added and managed locally using the Librarian Resource Center

  7. Request to Include DOI in Article Links for Article Galaxy Scholar

    I would like to request that the DOI be included in the article links for Reprints Desk Article Galaxy Scholar (dbcode: ABJNI).

    The reason for this request is that Article Galaxy Scholar checks for the availability of open-access articles using the DOI. Currently, the DOI is not included in the full-text links, which prevents the open-access check from functioning properly.

  12. Bloomsbury Fashion 2023

    Please add a collection for Bloomsbury Fashion 2023. While this collection currently does exist (id 615460000000001242), many portfolios were removed from it.

    The titles from this collection have been added to Bloomsbury Fashion Central which only provides access to customers that have purchased the database and does not provide access to those that purchased the ebook subject collection.
    Ex. Link for Bloomsbury Fashion Central https://www.bloomsburyfashioncentral.com/encyclopedia?docid=b-9781350247789
    Link for Bloomsbury Ebooks https://www.bloomsburycollections.com/monograph?docid=b-9781350247789

    All other Bloomsbury Collection ebooks have subject collections in the CZ and Fashion 2023 should not be an exception.

    Hello,

    As you wrote, Bloomsbury Fashion 2023 already exists so we will not create anew collection with the same name, rather we need to review why the titles were removed and to set up automation for the updating file to get the titles back.
