start enrichment process for Hogrefe eBooks (Hogrefe eLibrary)
ExLibris created an automation for updates that will run on a weekly basis and will check for any changes made to the title list by Hogrefe Verlag. However, the metadata are rudimentary. We are missing author or editor, place of publication and publisher in the metadata. This makes it difficult to find out the ebooks in Primo VE.
Hence: could you please start an enrichment process with Hogrefe for their eLibrary eBooks titles?

We are working with the provider to check enrichment options.
Thank you for submitting and supporting this ides.

Improve the metadata of Dalloz Bibliothèque in CZ and CDI
- Dalloz Bibliothèque
- Collection ID : 613680000000000037
- CDI Collection ID (DB ID): O7M
- Material type : books (currently : 2576)
The quality of the metadata for Dalloz Bibliothèque in the CZ and CDI is extremely poor (sometimes only one title). Please, consider enriching the metadata with those coming from the SUDOC (more complete and of better quality). Enrichment could perhaps be based on the PPN (SUDOC identifier) that you have already injected into the CZ records?

Thanks for the clarification.
Let me take it internally and check what we can do.

Improve indexing of HAL in CDI
Hal is one of the most important French open archive. The database offers open access documents directly from the platform and references to documents for which the full text is not available.
In CDI two collections allow to activate the search on this database.
- Hyper Article en Ligne (HAL) (Open Access) (ID CDI VOOES) which covers only open access records.
- Hyper Article Online (HAL) (CDI ID 1XC) which covers all the records in HAL.
Both of the HAL collections are link-in-records databases
The problem is that it shows as unavailable the records to which we could have gained…62 votes -

Enrich metadata from vendor Editions ENI in the Alma CZ
The ebook records in the e-collection "Bibliotheque numerique ENI" have currently brief level 3. So generally only ISBNs, publication year and title in their metadata. This is not enough to provide optimal discovery experience for users.
We would like to ask you to enrich the metadata and enhance the brief level. We are also in contact with the publisher and will post here any feedback from their side.
33 votesHello,
It appears we do not have an enrichment agreement with the content provider, ENI.
We will reach out to them and check if they can send us a feed for this collection, but if you have a contact person that we can work with that would be very helpful.
Thanks,

A new Alma CZ authority vocabulary for the Finnish work-authority-file (case 06675712)
A request for new content ASAP, upon ExLibris suggestion (case 06675712): a new Alma CZ authority vocabulary for the Finnish work-authority-file
The National Library of Finland offers a work authority file, which is urgently needed by all Finnish Alma-libraries. As it turns out, it is not possible to add the Finnish work-authority-file into the existing Alma CZ FINAF vocabulary (due to the work-authority records and name-authority records with identical 001 fields). As a workaround, ExLibris SF support suggested (see case 06675712) adding a new Alma CZ authority vocabulary containing only the Finnish work-authority-file.
Hence, we are requesting Ex Libris to…

Add the "freely available" titles in the EZB "Medicine" category as a new target
Add the "freely available" titles in the EZB "Medicine" category as a new target for the SFX Knowledgebase. There are already many EZB (University Library of Regensburg Electronic Journals Library) targets in SFX, including the ZB-FREE-00999FREELYAVAILABLEEZBJOURNALS full-text target. This currently contains around 68,000 free title object portfolios.
We would like to be able to use the "Medicine" subset of the free target (currently 8,977 titles) as many of the other titles are not relevant to our clinicians

Better Metadata for HANSER_ELIBRARY_BOOKS
The bib records in the electronic collection Hanser Elibrary Books are very poor and sometimes even wrong.
i.e. MMS-ID 993440000000000927:
LDR -----cam-a22-----z--4500
008 210309u1916uuuuuuuuu-|-o----u|----|dut-d

245 00 |a VoIP Praxisleitfaden
776 __ |z 3-446-44491-2
776 __ |z 3-446-44814-4
906 __ |a BOOKAuthors, title and other bibliographic information are missing, year and language are wrong.
The publisher Hanser offers libraries much better metadata, therefore I suggest to improve it in the CZ.
