← 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.

  5. Gale Literature Criticism (International)

    Hello, We'd like a CZ collection/CDI database that represents Gale Literature Criticism in our region. The title lists from Gale show that full-text access differs for "International" (non-US) institutions due to differing rights. At the moment, we have to deactivate specific portfolios from the current Literature Criticism CZ collection so that our correct entitlements are reflected.

  6. SAGE Catalyst

    We would like to be able to activate the SAGE Catalyst package of e-books in SFX (and CDI if possible). https://learningresources.sagepub.com/catalyst

    We are currently managing this in SFX with Dataloader, which is not a smooth process since there seems to be some incompatibility issues between the SAGE provided ISBN:s and the ISBN:s in the KB. The Catalyst collection is a core resource for us, including crucial textbooks.

    Could we please have a collection added for the latest in Brill's "Companions to Classical Studies" added to the KB? I had previously opened a support case with this request but have not received any updates since March. The collection is described here: https://brill.com/display/package/9789004512207. The previous collections in this series--I-V--are already available in the KB, so we just need the latest one added.
