Separate publisher and aggregator collections to filter out unavailable preprints
Publishers are increasingly adding preprints to their collections but aggregators do not add them until they have been fully "published". Because aggregators and publishers share collections on the CDI, it looks as if our aggregator links are broken in the catalogue. If aggregators and publishers provide different levels of access, can the collections be separated to reflect this?
This is important because the preprints tend to be the latest publications and so are in relatively high demand.79 votesAdminTamar Ganor

Add conference proceedings from the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF)
ECMWF conference proceedings are open access. Having them indexed in the CDI would be an enormous help and bring together content that is valuable to us and our members.
An example of one conference they run: https://events.ecmwf.int/event/258/timetable/

Add TGC Books Play Collection
A collection from TGC Books, the largest independent trade publisher of dramatic literature in North America.
The collection includes 18 winners of the Pulitzer Prize in Drama, and also boasts a diverse range of voices which are often overlooked in less contemporary collections.
Our drama students are always looking for newer plays available in a digital format - and with the exception of this collection, the CZ in Alma has most of the collections available from Drama Online. This would be a welcome addition.
Many thanks,
Oliviahttps://www.dramaonlinelibrary.com/tcg-books-play-collection

Directly Index National Council of Teachers of Mathematics
I asked about article-level records for the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics journals, and was told "Currently we do not have this collection's content directly indexed; instead we rely on aggregators to provide alternative coverage, which may change over time. In order to ensure that the content is available, we recommend submitting a suggestion for direct ingestion via the ExLibris Idea Exchange for content"
Some articles show up through aggregators, but not all, and it would be good to have all articles show up.
