← 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.

  1. ebony magazine archive

    Please consider changing this collection type from a database to a aggregated collection. It is an archive of one journal title, Ebony magazine. Not having the portfolio of Ebony magazine makes discovery challenging for our users because it is appearing in primo as a database and not a journal. The journal/portfolio title should be Ebony magazine archive: 11/01/1945 to 06/01/2014

  9. Add Walter De Gruyter Publishing collection for Vervuert 2023

    Hello,

    We have noticed that there is not yet a collection in the ALMA Community Zone for 2023 Vervuert books through Walter De Gruyter Publishing. The De Gruyter site has 2023 books for Vervuert but there is no collection in ALMA. The most recent collection is the following from 2022:

    Please add a collection for 2023 to ALMA.

    JSTOR has offered a big collection called Archival Journals and Primary Sources collection to include all their archival journals. However, research reports are not included for Public Health, Security Studies and Sustainability collections in this collection.

    However, the research reports only collection is missing for JSTOR Public Health Titles collection. Because of that, if we activate the Archival Journals and Primary Sources collection, we would miss out on…
