Enrich CZ MARC records for CRL (Center for Research Libraries) collections
CRL (Center for Research Libraries) has provided metadata to Ex Libris, which has been used to create CZ collections with MARC bibliographic records and portfolios. However, these collections have very poor MARC bibliographic metadata. I suspect they were created by KBART file uploads. Because many of the resources in these collections are older digitized materials, they lack identifiers such as ISSNs and ISBNs and are thus unlikely to join to robust existing CZ records (nor are they likely to be overlaid by provide record loads or CONSER records).
Could Ex Libris please work with CRL to enrich the MARC bibliographic…

Enrich Bibliographic Records for Kanopy Base collection
We appreciate the addition of the Kanopy Base Kanopy BASE (Kanopy BASE US Collection- CID 61138888930006991) collection in the CZ. It will make management easier as the collection is refreshed rather frequently. We suggest enriching the bibliographic records of the titles within the collection. As it now stands, there are no subject headings for the 10,000 records in the collection, making discovery nearly impossible and of little use to our users.
