We welcome your ideas for new content (metadata) to add to the Knowledge Bases (KBs - Alma CZ, SFX, 360) and Discovery services (CDI - Central Discovery Index whose data supports Primo and Summon).


How to increase your idea's visibility and get more votes:
  1. Check if your idea has already been posted and vote for it before posting a new idea.
  2. Choose the right category: "New Provider" for content from a provider that has no available content in the KBs or CDI, or "Existing Provider" for content from a provider that already has content available in the KBs or CDI.
  3. Add a direct link to the provider/resource you suggest, and a contact person if possible.
  4. For enrichment requests add the relevant collection ID(s). 
  5. Make sure you mention any specific added value your idea has to the community such as language or supporting diversity.
  6. Did you find errors in an existing collection? please open a case.
  7. A new year has begun but no corresponding annual collection? post an idea in Idea Exchange, make sure to mention if it is an existing provider.


The categories for new content ideas are:
  1. Existing Provider - if your idea is for a new collection from a provider that already has content available in the KBs and CDI or enriching records for an existing collection, use this category. No voting is necessary, ideas for existing providers will be handled regardless of voting.
  2. New Providers - if your idea is for content from a provider that does not have any content available in the KBs and CDI, choose this category.
  3. Other - for non provider specific ideas

If you want to add an institutional repository, please open a case and follow the documentation here:

  • To see ideas you have already voted on, select the "My feedback" filter and select "My open ideas".

If it doesn't exist, you can post your idea so others can support it.

    Hello,
    The Wiley Digital Archive - Environmental Science and History has a portfolio within called called Commonwealth Forestry Archive (CFA). I wondered if it would be possible to make this a top level collection with the digitised items within it as portfolios, i.e. one portfolio per Reference Code maybe? http://WDAgo.com/s/e4a7bfe7
    Many thanks for your consideration

  5. 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…

  15. 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.
