Improve full-text coverage and restore CDI fields for Factiva Academic
Factiva is one of our primary sources for newspaper content. Previously, the link in record Factiva collection we used included CDI fields but now it does not. WIthout CDI fields, we can't even confirm whether records for Factiva content would be included in Primo search results or in Newspapers search only. Of the 4 Factiva collections currently available in the CZ, only the link in record collection for Corporate subscribers includes CDI fields. The full text and CDI coverage should be improved for Factiva Academic collections as well -- whether for the existing link resolver collection or with a new link in record or link resolver collection or any other approach.
There have been several past Idea Exchange proposals for improvements to Factiva academic CZ collections and CDI coverage, suggesting that this is a collection of ongoing interest and importance.

Hello,
We add descriptive fields to CDI collections only when their coverage exceeds 80%.
For this collection, only approximately one-third of the titles include identifiers, which does not allow us to achieve the required matching level to meet this threshold.
As a result, we are unable to add descriptive fields to this collection.
Kind regards,
Tamar

We need full article level records directly from Factiva added to the CDI. I'm thinking it would be best if they all contained links in record so they would be more reliable from a linking standpoint. Currently Primo Newspaper search is too ProQuest centric in terms of search results because of the lack of CDI coverage from other large news providers.
