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).


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

  4. F-Mesh in MARC21

    F-Mesh is a bilingual French/English version of the Medical Subject Headings (Mesh).
    We are a French speaking Library network using MARC21. We were very happy to hear that Alma now includes F-Mesh as a subject headings vocabulary. However, as it is available only in UNIMARC, we cannot use it. If you are in the same situation, then don’t hesitate to vote for this Idea!

    Hello,

    Unfortunately, Verena Rube confirmed they are not interested in sharing their metadata.

  6. The Encyclopédie, ou Dictionnaire raisonné des sciences, des arts et des métiers

    A famous general encyclopedia edited by Denis Diderot and D'Alembert between 1751 and 1772.

    http://enccre.academie-sciences.fr/encyclopedie/
    The Encyclopédie stands out as a fundamental reference tool on account of the wide range of topics covered in many different fields of knowledge, especially:
    - in its philosophical articles with contributions of the most famous writers and philosophers of the French 18th’s century: Montesquieu, J. J. Rousseau, Voltaire…
    - in the detailed description of the mechanical arts.

    We can find many sites with digitalization of later editions of the Encyclopédie (and also in your KB!), but the proposed items are infinitely less interesting.

  17. Elsevier hybrid Open Access journals

    There are several hybrid OA journals - meaning that only some articles are Open Access and most are behind a paywall - in the portfolio ELSEVIERSCIENCEDIRECTOPENACCESSJOURNALS-getFullTxt . Since these are not freely available cover-to-cover, it would be more appropriate to put these in a new service ELSEVIERSCIENCEDIRECTOPENACCESSJOURNALS-getSelectedFullTxt

    Attached is a list of several hybrid OA journals on the ScienceDirect platform.
