Add C-SPAN content to CDI
Purdue has worked with C-SPAN on adding a harvestable OAI-feed to the C-SPAN system. We have since added the content locally: https://purdue.primo.exlibrisgroup.com/discovery/search?query=any,contains,PURDUE_CSPAN&tab=Everything&search_scope=MyInst_and_CI&vid=01PURDUE_PUWL:PURDUE&offset=0
There maybe an interest to have C-SPAN loaded at the CDI level now that an OAI_PMH feed is available?

Add Kortext as an e-book provider
Please could content from Kortext (https://www.kortext.com/) be added to the KB?
They are an e-book provider - we currently have a collection of books from them that are only in Summon via a LSH and would love the user experience / discoverability for these books to be the same as that for other e-book providers.
Thank you!
