Content
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).
- Check if your idea has already been posted and vote for it before posting a new idea.
- 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.
- Add a direct link to the provider/resource you suggest, and a contact person if possible.
- For enrichment requests add the relevant collection ID(s).
- Make sure you mention any specific added value your idea has to the community such as language or supporting diversity.
- Did you find errors in an existing collection? please open a case.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.

Springer Nature Open Access Community Zone Electronic Collection
This is a request to add a single free/open access collection for all Springer Nature free/open access journals. Currently there are 4 community zone collections in Alma with many overlaps:
SpringerOpen Free - (CKB)613170000000000044
BioMed Central open Access - (CKB)611000000000000500
Bacon Springer Nature Global Open Access - (CKB)613780000000000900
Springer Nature Oa Journals - (CKB)614910000000000075We’d like the addition of one single consolidated collection because having the above 4 collections is unnecessarily confusing for students and staff as they currently encounter so many electronic collections for the same journal/article even when different community zone electronic collection links in Primo end up…
112 votesHello,
Due to linking limitations, we will not be able to create a collection for all Open Access content from Springer.
Therefore I am closing the idea.

Add books from Proquest's Oasis database to PCI
We are recommending Primo to our users as the route to suggest new books for purchase. However, PCI is not great for books, unless they are part of a publisher's e-book collection.
Proquest have their own database of books in print via Oasis - this would be a fantastic addition to PCI and would greatly facilitate purchase requests or resource sharing requests via Primo.
48 votesHello,
Oasis should be wholly represented in CDI.
If there are any specific content gaps in CDI, please let me know directly

Encyclopaedia Universalis, with availability type "Link resolver"
Encyclopaedia Universalis collection already exists in PCI, but the availability type is "Link in Record". It makes it impossible for patrons to access the fulltext.
The availability should be "Link resolver", so the library can manage its proxy settings in the link resolver.74 votesHello,
This content is available in our Knowledgebases and CDI. We have reviewed the request to switch to Link Resolver, and determined that the collection is best represented with the Link in Record method for best results.
Thank you,

World Meteorological Organization

Bloomberg Law
Bloomberg Law (https://www.bloomberglaw.com) is a major platform for American legal content, including books, journals, news channels, and other sources. Please add an Alma CZ collection covering the Bloomberg Law content made available by subscription to academic law libraries.
Please also explore the possibility of using Bloomberg Law MARC records to enrich the CZ records: https://www.bna.com/marc-records-bloomberg-m17179934017 Without enriched CZ records, libraries that are currently loading vendor records for this collection are likely to continue doing so rather than use a CZ collection.
Also, the linking and title lists of the following BNA e-collections are outdated. Bloomberg has shut down…

Add the Bridget Williams Books collections to Primo Central Index
As a student and researcher of New Zealand materials I would like the books published by Bridget Williams Books to be indexed in Primo Central Index.
Background: Currently the content of these collections is not discoverable in Primo. This makes it harder to discover key New Zealand content and impacts the efficiency of my study and research capabilities.
47 votesHello,
Unfortunately, we were not able to receive the metadata from the provider.
Therefore, we will not be able to add the collection to CDI.
