← Have an idea for Ex Libris?

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

How can we improve Content?

You've used all your votes and won't be able to post a new idea, but you can still search and comment on existing ideas.

There are two ways to get more votes:

  • When an admin closes an idea you've voted on, you'll get your votes back from that idea.
  • You can remove your votes from an open idea you support.
  • To see ideas you have already voted on, select the "My feedback" filter and select "My open ideas".
(thinking…)

Enter your idea and we'll search to see if someone has already suggested it.

If a similar idea already exists, you can support and comment on it.

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

Enter your idea and we'll search to see if someone has already suggested it.

  6. Enrich metadata records for British Online Archives

    We noticed that the level of metadata for portfolios in the British Online Archives (collection ID: 6114047950000041) is incredibly sparse. Would it be possible to investigate and update the MARC records for these portfolios (which represent collections on the British Online Archives platform)? BOA provides MARC records for customers here & on OCLC: https://microform.digital/boa/librarian-resources.

    We would prefer to not have to locally improve the metadata for portfolios in this collection.

  10. New Database Request - SAGE:Jisc Collections:SAGE Journals Read and Publish 2023-2024: Reading List - 360 KB

    A new Jisc agreement has been released for SAGE Journals covering 2023-2024. We therefore need a new database in 360 KB to reflect the current collection and replace the now out-of-date database that covered the 2020-2022 agreement [Sage:Jisc Collections:SAGE Journals Read & Publish 2020-2022 Agreement (Reading List) AIOMO]

    Master list can be obtained via the KB+ Exports Page:
    https://www.kbplus.ac.uk/kbplus7/publicExport/pkg/3027

    We also need article-level linking. AIOMO has article level linking in place and the platform has not changed so the same linking principles should still apply.
