← 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

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.

  2. wiley digital archives - Commonwealth Forestry Archive (within the Environmental Science and History archive)

    Hello,
    The Wiley Digital Archive - Environmental Science and History has a portfolio within called called Commonwealth Forestry Archive (CFA). I wondered if it would be possible to make this a top level collection with the digitised items within it as portfolios, i.e. one portfolio per Reference Code maybe? http://WDAgo.com/s/e4a7bfe7
    Many thanks for your consideration

    Hello,

    We will reach out to Wiley, and ask for the metadata for this collection.

    In any case, if there's no CDI feed to correspond with this, you can always create a local zero-title database for this title.

    Thanks,

  8. Enrich Bibliographic Records for Kanopy Base collection

    We appreciate the addition of the Kanopy Base Kanopy BASE (Kanopy BASE US Collection- CID 61138888930006991) collection in the CZ. It will make management easier as the collection is refreshed rather frequently. We suggest enriching the bibliographic records of the titles within the collection. As it now stands, there are no subject headings for the 10,000 records in the collection, making discovery nearly impossible and of little use to our users.

    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.
