Hello,
We will reach out to curio.ca, and ask for metadata for CDI.
Kind regards,

Hello,
The metadata feed is pending a legal agreement, which is currently awaiting the provider's approval.
Once the agreement is approved, we will be able to proceed with processing the metadata.
Kind regards,

Thanks for reviving this thread — this is such an important request. Curio.ca’s content is highly valuable, and integrating its metadata into the CDI (or other discovery systems) would make a big difference in discoverability and usage.
Has there been any progress on Ex Libris’ outreach to Curio or on receiving metadata? I’d be eager to help with testing or advocacy from my institution if needed.

Hi there! We were just discussing our local process for loading Curio records, and were curious if there were any updates on getting this metadata into CDI. Thanks for any info you can provide!

Hi there, just a note to add support to this long running thread. We will also be informing the provider that we are struggling to demonstrate use of the base Curio subscription, and that this is a disincentive to considering investment in additional Curio content, and that we suspect that inadequate indexing is contributing to low use. Hopefully we can move this along?
Tangentially, I had a near miss in posting this and almost hit the xitter button by accident. I would be more than happy to boost on mastodon when I see that option available here, thanks.

Whole heartedly support this! As mentioned in the idea referred to below (by Mark Nelson): This database is essential for any Canadian library. The content is high quality and the metadata available from Curio is more than adequate for good 360MARC record supply, and good Central Indexing and discovery of content through Summon

CBC Curio is equally as essential to Canadian libraries as NFB Campus, which already has a knowledge base collection. There's precedent!

We need this. CBC Curio is an important resource for our collection.

The Canadian Broadcasting Company (CBC) is Canada's publicly-funded national media station, and almost every Canadian library subscribes to the Curio videostreaming service, so we would like to be able to track the content in Summon and 360 Link.
