← Have an idea for Ex Libris?

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. The ideas for new providers will be annually prioritized via the CERV process.
  3. Other - for non provider specific ideas

If you want to add an institutional repository, please open a case and follow the documentation here:

**Please be aware that ideas with no comments or votes for the past three years, and have less than 30 votes, will be closed. The closed ideas will still be available for review, and the votes will be freed up for supporting other content ideas.

**If you are a content provider, please review the submission guides for more information on how to reach out

How can we improve Content?

You've used all your votes and won't be able to post a new idea, but you can still search and comment on existing ideas.

There are two ways to get more votes:

  • When an admin closes an idea you've voted on, you'll get your votes back from that idea.
  • You can remove your votes from an open idea you support.
  • To see ideas you have already voted on, select the "My feedback" filter and select "My open ideas".

Enter your idea and we'll search to see if someone has already suggested it.

If a similar idea already exists, you can support and comment on it.

If it doesn't exist, you can post your idea so others can support it.

Enter your idea and we'll search to see if someone has already suggested it.

  14. Add CDI metadata to CZ records for Mintel collections

    Community zone collections from Mintel are odd. All have CZ records, but only a few have corresponding CDI records. The CDI records duplicate the CZ records but with better metadata. An example is "Mintel Beauty and Personal Care: China" (ID: 613860000000000186; DBID:ACFGR) The CDI records are labeled "market research" and have a full description. The CZ records only contain a title. Mintel recently released Shibboleth functionality (and the CZ collections were updated accordingly), so I need to use the CZ records so the linking works. The CDI records are all "link in record," which only works with a proxy. So,…

    AdminTamar Ganor (Admin, Ex Libris) responded

    Hello,

    The metadata Mintel provides is more suitable for CDI only, and although in previous years we have created collections with titles in the Kowledgebases, going forward we will only have the metadata presented in CDI.

    Please let me know which collections do not have metadata in CDI either in a comment to this idea, or directly to me

    tamar.ganor@clarivate.com.

    Regarding the authentication issue, I will consult with our support analysts on the best way to address this challenge.

    Kind regards,

  15. CZ: Keep contributions from Community to bibliographic records, where possible

    The Community Zone is open for contributions by editing bibliographic records in the Community. However, as soon as Ex Libris uploads the same bibliographic records again from the provider, the contributions by the community are overwritten, if the provider sends an identical field. In some cases this is OK (if the providers version is better) in others it is not (when the contributed field was more complete).
    I propose therefore, that the rules for importing updated bibliographic records into the Community Zone by Ex Libris are changed in the following points:
    • If not present, 040 field is added with…

    Hello,

    We encountered several challenges during the analysis, and at this time we do not have a timeline for implementing a policy change.

    I have updated the status to "Under Review" as we continue evaluating the best approach for adjusting the overwrite process.

    Thank you for your patience and understanding.

    Best regards,
