← 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.

  13. New target for Recueil de cours de L'Académie de droit de La Haye

    Hello,
    We see that there are targets for Recueil de cours de L'Académie de droit de La Haye in SFX but they are consortia targets. It still means that we can request a target for this. It would be a target for everyone, not for a consortium.
    The difficulty would be in getting a list by book and not divided by chapters like the one I got and attached.
    Thank you

    Hi,


    It seems that it is already available and called "American Mathematical Society eBooks" DBID: G-R and contains the title list related to the requested collection.


    Can you please check if it is relevant?

  15. finish indexing International Journal of Mass Emergencies and Disasters (IJMED) articles

    Only 26 IJMED (ISSN 0280-7270) articles are indexed in Summon. It would be invaluable to be able to access all 24 years' worth of articles through Summon.

  16. Add indexing in Primo Central to more Canadian scholarly content: eg Erudit

    Since we changed discovery from Summon to Primo - users are unable to find Canadian content without first signing in in order to gain access to the Web of Science and MLA international bibliography article citations. This is especially true for Canadian scholarly content that may not be published in commercial academic publishers. A good first addition would be Erudit - which, despite its name provides access to a wide range of Canadian English and French content.

    http://oai.erudit.org/oaiproviderpublic/

    Thanks for considering.

  18. COMPLIANCEDIGITAL

    Dear support

    the titles in the attachment are ebook- and journal titles of publisher COMPLIANCEDIGITAL. We ask for the enrichment of the target COMPLIANCEDIGITAL, which already exists. Further we noticed that 2 ejournals are open access (see the green colored rowes in the appendix ).
    If possible, we suggest an separate ebook-subtarget, a separate subtarget for the open access journals and an third subtarget for the chargeable journals .

    Best regards
    A.Schantz
