E-Book Target for SFX. Several publishers via Preselect
We are missing the SFX-Target for the e-book packages for the scholars-e-library from the publisher UTB https://www.utb.de/bibliotheken/. Although there is a target in SFX for another product from UTB utb-studi-e-book the portfolios from the scholars-e-library are missing in SFX.
The publisher eventually informed us that they are not responsible for the delivery of metadata for this package and referred us to the service platform Preselect http://www.preselect.com/en. Preselect offers also an bunch of other packages from 36 publisher. The half of these affects licence contracts of our libraries which have also no target in SFX.
Please add all these targets in SFX as complete targets and as fine-grained subject targets.
Thank you!
Hello,
The list of targets suggested in the comments below has been added to SFX and Alma.
Thank you,

Dear Rael
Thank you for your update on this case.
Is it already foreseeable, when the requested subtargets will be added to the SFX KB? Are we supposed to wait or is there any action on our side to take in order to accelerate the implementation of the requested subtargets?
Thank you for your answer.
Kind regards,

Dear Rael,
Thanks for your prompt feedback.
The University of Zurich has got e-books by the following publishers where we are missing an SFX target in the SFX Knowledge Base:
- Facultas.wuv - Maudrich
- WBG (Wissenschaftliche Buchgesellschaft)
- Waxmann Verlag
- UVK Verlagsgesellschaft
- W. Bertelsmann Verlag
- Ernst Reinhardt Verlag
- Herbert von Halem
- Narr Francke Attempto
- Vandenhoeck & Ruprecht
- Verlag Barbara Budrich
- Verlag Ferdinand Schöningh
- Wilhelm Fink VerlagThere are some other publishers on the provider's platform Content-Select.com with missing targets in SFX. Some other institutions may have purchased such ebooks. So I think a full list of the collections would be helpful.
ExLibris has created targets for a few publishers available on content-select.com already (for instance Schattauer, Transcript via a de_Gruyter target), so I think that should be possible to do the same for other publishers.
Many thanks and best regards,

Dear team, this idea has been under review for more than 3 months now. Could you please tell us if you're thinking of implementing it at this point?
Thank you for an update!
