Add CDI link-in record records for 3 JoVE Encyclopedia of Experiments collections
JoVE, an existing provider partner of Ex Libris, has contributed many video collections to the CZ. Most of the collections have CDI link in record records we can activate. The MARCs and portfolios for JoVE are very poor (because these are video collections, so it's not possible to generate good data from the KBART files loaded to produce the portfolios and bibs), so it is very important that there be link in record records we can activate instead. However, for 3 JoVE Encyclopedia of Experiments collections, there are portfolios and bibs but no link in record records. Could Ex Libris…

American Welding Society eBooks
American Welding Society eBooks is available through the ASME (American Society of Mechanical Engineers) Digital Collection. The page for the books is below:
https://asmedigitalcollection.asme.org/aws-ebooks
ALMA does not have a collection for these books nor do the books seem to be available through other ASME collections in ALMA.
Please added a collection for these books.
1 voteHello,
Apologies for the delay in my response.
We will reach out to the provider and ask for the title list.
If we use the title list you provided, we will not be able to create this as an automatically updated collection, and it will be configured as "managed by community". So we prefer to ask the provider for an updated title location that can be automated.

Enrich CZ bib data for Africa Commons: Southern African Films and Documentaries
The Africa Commons: Southern African Films and Documentaries collection is a collection of films from Africa. It looks like the portfolios and bibs were created by loading a KBART file. That process creates bib records that contain very little data (just a 245 title, a 260 publisher, and a 906 VIDEO). See attached example of a typical bib in this collection. Could Ex Libris please work with the provider, Coherent Digital, to overlay the brief bibs with full bibs? This is a collection of films from southern Africa that are not available from any other source, so enriching this bib…

CZ New collection request: IEEE Xplore MIT Press 2024 eBooks
We have purchased a 2024 collection of eBooks for IEEE Xplore published by MIT Press. Please add a collection in the CZ. Titles list is attached.
3 votesHi Andrew,
Hello,
We will reach out to IEEE, and ask for the metadata for this collection.We are reluctant to use customer provided title lists because then we cannot automate the collections and they will not be updated with any additions, removals or changes.
Also, one customer's holdings may not reflect other customer's holdings so we prefer to use the provider feed.
Thanks,
