Use better records for Henry Stewart Talks
Henry Stewart Talks provides high quality MARC records for their collection at https://hstalks.com/librarian-information/?biosci#nav-marc and claims they're already sending them to ProQuest for inclusion in the Alma CZ (and somehow put a large Primo/Alma logo on this page as a "discovery partner"), however, the actual records in the CZ are very brief records.
The CZ should include these records (and someone should figure out how they're getting lost if this "partnership" really exists...)
Hello,
We have enriched a significant number of the Henry Stewart Talks records, but some are still under review as they are not compatible with any automated process.
In addition, we are reviewing the NISO standard for audio and visual metadata guidelines which were recently released to improve handling such content.

Thanks,

Hi, I started a discussion around contribution of these records to CZ back in 2019 and I believe that at that time the issue was the ingestion and management of updating records for streaming video services. i.e. Lack of unique identifiers to ensure that updates matched and merged. Ex Libris had a similar problem with Alexander Street Press Video Online and I believe that a technical fix has now been devised and is in operation? Hopefully the same strategy of creating a unique ID can be used for HS collection? There is no industry standard for managing streaming video content and it is something that I have raised with OLAC but maybe NISO could be involved as well? Thanks, Jane

I second that.
I'll also add there is a parallel CDI collection that actually has better records, so it's hard to understand why the Community Zone doesn't have these. (To make it clear: a CDI collection is not a substitute to a CZ collection - we have a lot more control with the CZ collections).
