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

    Hello,

    After meeting with the MARCIVE rep during ELUNA, it is confirmed their sales model will not allow the creation of a MARCIVE collection in the knowledgebases.

    Hello, 

    Following a discussion with EBSCO, they have provided the below explanation for your convenience. 

    --- 

    Since each customer may have different Learning Express modules enabled, there is no standard set of MARC records for all customers. Additionally, Learning Express MARC records are updated quarterly, so customers would need to update their records consistently. Therefore each Learning Express customer would need to maintain their MARC records individually.

    Downloading MARC records for Learning Express is easy to do, and I am providing some documentation that you might pass along to your library customers:

    1) The following is a link to the Instructions for Accessing & Downloading MARC Records guide (.pdf):

    https://www.learningexpresshub.com/File%20Library/LearningExpressLibrary/Administrator/MARCRecord_Instructions_LibResources.pdf

    2) The following article is available on EBSCO Connect:

    LearningExpress - Accessing, Downloading and Updating MARC Records
    https://connect.ebsco.com/s/article/LearningExpress-Accessing-Downloading-and-Updating-MARC-Records?language=en_US

    3) The link to access MARC records and to register for access to MARC records is the following URL:
