Content

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

  11. The Encyclopédie, ou Dictionnaire raisonné des sciences, des arts et des métiers

    A famous general encyclopedia edited by Denis Diderot and D'Alembert between 1751 and 1772.

    http://enccre.academie-sciences.fr/encyclopedie/
    The Encyclopédie stands out as a fundamental reference tool on account of the wide range of topics covered in many different fields of knowledge, especially:
    - in its philosophical articles with contributions of the most famous writers and philosophers of the French 18th’s century: Montesquieu, J. J. Rousseau, Voltaire…
    - in the detailed description of the mechanical arts.

  14. GALEGROUP EIGHTEENTH CENTURY COLLECTIONS ONLINE I

    Please can the bib record portfolios for this Community Zone collection be enriched, some of them are incredibly poor and scant.
    We have received complaints from some of our users and librarians about the lack of bibliographic information in these ebook records.

    An example of a brief record is "The adventures of Roderick Random" MMS ID 993360000000079640
    There is no author, publisher, publication date, isbn, only a partial title.
