Content
Your feedback matters to us. Help us to extend our discovery indexes, KnowledgeBases and Community Zone by telling us what collections and data you’d like to see us add, using the message areas below. You can also support something already posted.
If you are suggesting new content for Discovery that is not yet in the Knowledgebase you do not need to submit two entries (one for Discovery and one for Knowledgebase)
Specifically you can suggest:
• New collections for Discovery (Primo Central and Summon)
• New collections for the Knowledgebase (Alma CZ, SFX KB and 360 KB)
• New authority files to be added to the Community Zone
• Enrichment of Community Zone bibliographic records for certain collections
We would love to be able to respond to every idea that is submitted, but this is not feasible. We are, however, committed to responding to the most popular ideas—those that have received the most points.
For more information please review our FAQ and guidelines. Thank you.

Add "Fuente académica Plus" electronic collection in CZ
Currently there are "EBSCOhost Fuente Académica" and "EBSCOhost Fuente Académica Premier" as collections in Alma Community Zone, but "EBSCOhost Fuente Académica Plus" collection it is not available.
So adding "EBSCOhost Fuente Académica Plus" as a collection in the CZ will be very useful.

Elsevier ELibrary (elsevierelibrary.de)
Target/Collection: Elsevier ELibrary
Provider: ELSEVIER
URL: https://institut.elsevierelibrary.de/
title list: https://institut.elsevierelibrary.de/catalog/show/all
content: (mostly) German-speaking textbooks for medicine studies (pre-clinical & clinical, post-graduate), veterinary medicine and nursing
Instead of using the default target "miscellaneous_ebooks", we think it appropriate to create a dedicated target for this collection.
The list of D-A-CH clients using the Elsevier eLibrary has become quite long: https://institut.elsevierelibrary.de/staticcms/referenzen

E-Journal target for SFX: JSTOR_LIVES_OF_LITERATURE
We are proposing to create a new target for the JSTOR-collection Lives of Literature with the name: JSTORLIVESOF_LITERATURE
The Title list can be found here: https://www.jstor.org/librarians/products/thematic-collections/lives-of-literature/#content
It makes the e-ressources librarian possible to activate the SFX-link-resolver for the JSTOR-collection LIVESOFLITERATURE. This generates an added values for our users like e.g.: adding SFX-Link in catalogue, visibility of SFX-Button in Google Scholar, etc.

Add Odilo Library to the Summon Index.
Add the digital library platform Odilo to collections indexed in Summon. It is used by many universities to offer their e-publications (i.e. https://uv.odilotk.es )
We have done the same suggestion to Odilo staff and they recommended that Summon use Odilo API to get and update the content.21 votes -

Add Project MUSE ALL ebook collection to Community Zone
The Alma Community Zone knowledge base doesn't include a collection for all Project MUSE ebooks regardless of package/year (nearly 50,000 titles).
It's available as a KBART file on the MUSE website and I believe it's regularly updated: https://muse.jhu.edu/cgi-bin/buildkbartfile.cgi?type=book&collectionID=all
Could you please add this to the CZ?
Thank you.
