← 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. Emerald's "eJournal Backfiles Premier" - create an Alma CZ collection for this vendor's collection

    Hello,

    We would like to suggest you add the following Emerald backfiles collection to Alma.

    "eJournal Backfiles Premier"

    This is a specific backfiles collection with 265 titles and there currently isn’t one available in the CZ.

    This means that we’ve had to activate more than one Emerald collection to cover the titles, which isn't ideal.

    The title list can be found here:

    https://www.emeraldgrouppublishing.com/ejournal-backfiles#premier

    Thank you.

  4. BTAA consortium's Early American Newspaper Series collections from Readex / Newsbank

    The Big Ten Academic Alliance (BTAA) purchased a specific version of the Early American Newspapers collections from Ex Libris's established provider-partner Readex (also known as Newsbank). We thus cannot use the Early American Newspapers that are in the CZ at present, as they are not the versions of the collections that we purchased. We need the BTAA-specific versions to be loaded into the CZ.

    The BTAA consists of 14 of the largest public research universities in the United States, with collectively hundreds of thousands of students. Ex Libris has loaded consortia-specific collections for other consortia, and Ex Libris has loaded…
