← 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".

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

  2. Add "RVM - le Répertoire de vedettes-matière" to Alma CZ

    We suggest the addition of University Laval's RVM subject authorities to the Alma CZ:

    https://rvmweb.bibl.ulaval.ca/rvmweb/contenu/contenu.do?chemin=/a-propos

    We are a large bilingual (English-French) academic library, with more than 35% of our collection consisting of French materials. We create French cataloguing records, including French subject headings, for all titles in French that we hold.

    Alma currently provides access to over 50 authorities in several languages, unfortunately RVM is not one of them. Consequently, our cataloguing process for French materials is much slower than the process for materials in other languages as we need to consult RVM website every time when searching for French…

    Hello,

    Unfortunately, Ex Libris will not be able to include RVM in Alma CZ due to contractual disagreements which cannot be resolved.

    RVM is available for local management for subscribing institutions.

  6. Education Source collection: improve indexing

    EBSCOhost Education Source (613580000000000010) - the indexing of this collection needs to be improved.

    (1) although this collection is indexed at article-level, a sizable number of portfolios can only be found at title-level, e.g. "Negotiating toward truth", "Advise: powering student leadership and engagement" and "Insights on law & society"

    (2) also, some article-level indexing isn't clear to the user, e.g. a search for book chapter "Slippery Shibboleths: The Shady Side of Truisms in Special Education" retrieves the book title "Disability studies in education: readings in theory and method". Not clear to user to click through.

    (3) some articles are available…

  17. Enable linking to Ministry Matters full text content in the legacy or research library

    Create effective links from discovery to content in the Ministry Matters research library (and its legacy library). The links that are produced today (on our 360 Link pages anyway) do not deliver the user to the full text to which a library is subscribed. Instead, they land users on a product page where it looks like they need to buy the book. In 2020, our library and then ExLibris each tried in vain to get Abingdon Press to produce updated title lists and URLs that would resolve from subscribers' discovery services/link resolvers to legacy research library on its Ministry Matters…
