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.So we…

Add History of Religiosity in Latin America Online (Brill)
Please add this new Brill collection to the 360 KB. It contains 3,000+ monographs and almost 600 periodicals. Languages: primarily Spanish but also Portuguese. Some Latin, English, French, and Italian
https://primarysources.brillonline.com/browse/history-of-religiosity-in-latin-america
"Until recently it was impossible for sociologists, anthropologists, historians of attitudes and social psychologists to develop the study of religion in modern Latin America into a field of teaching and research. The documents pertaining to the colonial period are, of course, preserved and often well edited. But the publications of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries that deal with local devotions and syncretist rituals, religious iconography and poetry, and the…

start enrichment process for Hogrefe eBooks (Hogrefe eLibrary)
ExLibris created an automation for updates that will run on a weekly basis and will check for any changes made to the title list by Hogrefe Verlag. However, the metadata are rudimentary. We are missing author or editor, place of publication and publisher in the metadata. This makes it difficult to find out the ebooks in Primo VE.
Hence: could you please start an enrichment process with Hogrefe for their eLibrary eBooks titles?
119 votesHello,
After feedback from the community, we have reopened this idea.
The provider MARC will add authors, 300, better language and 008, Publisher.
Please be advised that although some improvement is expected, it will not enrich the records to robust Bibliographic records that meets library standards.
We will complete the enrichment by end of May 2024.
Kind regards,
