← 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.

  7. Manchester Medieval Studies Collection - All Titles

    We have recently purchased a significant number of ebooks from Manchesterhive's Medieval Studies collection (https://www.manchesterhive.com/collection/medieval-studies-collection) that spans across multiple years. However, the content we have access to is spread across multiple CZ collections, and we don't have access to all of the portfolios in any one collection.

    Two of the collections we have the most availability in are "Manchester Medieval Studies" and "Manchester Medieval Sources Online (MMSO)", but there are several titles in the other yearly "MMSO" collections as well.

    In order to minimize how many collections we have to activate, can an "All title" selective collection be…

  10. ProQuest Digital U.S. Bills and Resolutions 2025--add to CZ with CDI link in record records

    ProQuest offers annual modules of ProQuest Digital U.S. Bills and Resolutions. Those created through 2024 are in the CZ with CDI link in record records. For example:

    ProQuest Digital U.S. Bills and Resolutions 2023, 615500000000000168
    ProQuest Digital U.S. Bills and Resolutions 2024, 614940000000000399

    Could Ex Libris please work with ProQuest to add the 2025 collection to the CZ, making sure to load it (like the others) with CDI link in record records? The collection should be titled:

  11. ProQuest Legislative Insight 2024 & ProQuest Legislative Insight 2025--Add to CZ with CDI link in record records

    ProQuest offers annual modules on the ProQuest Legislative Insight platform, and several are already in the CZ as database collections with CDI link in record records. For example:

    ProQuest Legislative Insight 2020, 614940000000000105
    ProQuest Legislative Insight 2021, 614940000000000227

    ProQuest Legislative Insight 2023, 615500000000000169

    However, there are no single year-specific collections for 2024 and 2025. There is a CZ collection for ProQuest Legislative Insight 2024-forward (614940000000000401), but we don't want to activate that one, as we haven't purchased an ongoing subscription (i.e. all content going forward).
