← 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. The ideas for new providers will be annually prioritized via the CERV process.
  3. Other - for non provider specific ideas

If you want to add an institutional repository, please open a case and follow the documentation here:

**Please be aware that ideas with no comments or votes for the past three years, and have less than 30 votes, will be closed. The closed ideas will still be available for review, and the votes will be freed up for supporting other content ideas.

**If you are a content provider, please review the submission guides for more information on how to reach out

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. Request the improvement of user experience for "lancet"

    Currently, as per the design of 360 Link, the title is changed to "Lancet" and ISSN is removed if the title contains "lancet" and ISSN is 0099-5355 (for North America) or 0140-6736 (for British).

    Because of this design, users need to select an exact title from a large number of suggested journal titles on the 360 Link from PubMed on their own.
    This is because the setting to every related title of "lancet" is set "lancet " as the alternative title.
    This design sometimes helps the user experience, but the negative impact is also huge for the user.

  3. Please add collection for open access gaming journals

    Many of the journals relating to the subject of "gaming" and "gaming production" are haphazardly categorized in multiple collections. Since this is an emerging field with a high percentage of Open Access titles, I was hoping that you could create a collection (similar to the "freely accessible xyz" collections already in existence) of free/open access gaming titles to collect them in one place. Attached is a list of suggestions

    Hello,

    The freely accessible collections are not maintained by Ex Libris as there is no specific provider who takes ownership on these collections.

    Similarly, we will not be able to aggregate and sustainably maintain a gaming specific collection since we rely on provider feeds and updates.

    You are welcome to create such a collection and contribute it to the Community Zone for the benefit of other community members.
