← 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.

    Hello,

    This title is available as part of the Brill Online Reference Works database, DBID: JQX.

    Is there a need to create it as a separate database?

  13. SPRINGER_NATURE__SPRINGER_PROTOCOLS_ARCHIVE

    We purchased 1980-2010 of the Springer Protocols Archive. There are 3 targets but none have the same coverage as our purchase: 1980-2004, 1980-2024 and 2008-2024. Would it be possible to get a target in SFX that covers 1980-2010?

    Hello,

    We are using the Springer title lists from this page

    https://adminportal.springernature.com/metadata/kbart

    However, there is no designated title list for Springer Protocols Archive 1980-2010.

    We will reach out to Springer and ask for this title list, but if it is a custom product, we might not be able to receive the title list.

  16. Please add to CDI images from the flickr commons of institutions

    Hello,

    Please consider adding to CDI images from:
    https://www.flickr.com/commons/institutions

    In the CZ there is a database for "Flickr Images" - Collection ID: 6113989190000041, however, it is not CDI.

    The images from libraries and archives that appear in Flickr can be a very useful addition to image format search in CDI.

    Thanks,
    Irit and Dafna
