Add Learning Express to Discovery, KB and Alma Community Zone
There is currently no discovery for Learning Express. This database is used by all libraries in Texas and should be added to the Community Zone and PCI for indexing and discovery.

Hello,
Following a discussion with EBSCO, they have provided the below explanation for your convenience.

Since each customer may have different Learning Express modules enabled, there is no standard set of MARC records for all customers. Additionally, Learning Express MARC records are updated quarterly, so customers would need to update their records consistently. Therefore each Learning Express customer would need to maintain their MARC records individually.
Downloading MARC records for Learning Express is easy to do, and I am providing some documentation that you might pass along to your library customers:
1) The following is a link to the Instructions for Accessing & Downloading MARC Records guide (.pdf):
2) The following article is available on EBSCO Connect:
LearningExpress - Accessing, Downloading and Updating MARC Records
https://connect.ebsco.com/s/article/LearningExpress-Accessing-Downloading-and-Updating-MARC-Records?language=en_US
3) The link to access MARC records and to register for access to MARC records is the following URL:
Note: To register for access to download MARC records each customer will need their unique product key (also called "AUthToken") and provide an email address.

Thank you,

All Michigan libraries have access to Learning Express Library, why do we have to beg for this to be added?

Can I suggest that Ex Libris move this one to the Content Idea Exchange?

LearningExpressLibrary.com appears in Alma CZ as a Database, but at a minimum we would like to see a separate collection created in the Alma CZ (with portfolios discoverable in Primo) of the ebooks that are part of the LearningExpressLibrary product. Splitting the content in this way in Alma and adding records to PCI allows users to discover content with identifiers (ISBNs) from within collections that would normally be zero-portfolio databases. This is the way that LearningExpressLibrary.com database and LearningExpressLibrary e-books are currently managed in 360 Knowledgebase and Summon.

All Minnesota Academic and Public Libraries have access to Learning Express as well, and would like to see it included in Alma!
