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.
Kind regards,

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…

Request to add annual update for "Bloomsbury Screen Collections: Bloomsbury and Faber Screenplays and Criticism - Annual Update 2023"

From Bloomsbury we are told to ask ExLibris for the file to be uploaded to Alma Community Zone. We'd like it to be activated both in Alma Knowledge Base and in Primo CDI. See also case no. 06925486.

Add target specifically for EBSCO Environment - Core coverage only
There is only 1 target for this database in SFX KB ( EBSCOHOSTENVIRONMENTCOMPLETE ) and it includes titles with both "Core" and "Priority" coverage. "Core" coverage refers to sources which are indexed and abstracted in their entirety (i.e. cover to cover), while "Priority" coverage refers to sources which include only those articles which are relevant to the field."
Can you create a new target that includes only the "Core" titles with complete coverage? Or remove the "Priority" titles from the existing target? I have attached a title list with the Core/Priority category in the first column. We don't…

Add Oxford Handbooks 2024 collections to Alma CZ
Could you please add Oxford Handbooks 2024 collections to the Alma CZ? Oxford is an established provider-partner of Ex Libris, and they offer yearly Oxford handbooks collections in a variety of subject areas. We have purchased the Oxford Handbooks 2024 Law collection, so that's the one we specifically want, but as long as Ex Libris is working on this, it would be good if all the subject collections could be loaded. These should be Alma CZ collections with portfolios and bib records. There are many Oxford Handbooks subject collections in the CZ for previous years, so we think it should…
