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.

- 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.

Updating the 'Ebook Central Perpetual and DDA Titles' CZ interface name
As we are unable to update CZ interfaces our self, could you consider updating the ProQuest eBook Central Community Zone interface from; “Ebook Central Perpetual and DDA Titles” to "ProQuest Ebook Central"? We currently name the collection in our local Alma environment the same (as we think this might help with indexing) and think it is not very helpful for our students and staff accessing material. We believed that "ProQuest Ebook Central" would be a much more clear collection interface that our users and users in other institutions would understand.
The current CZ collection has MMS ID# 995521883500041.3 votesHello,
Our naming convention for CZ-based collections is aligned with the names supported by the source providers.
If you require assistance with you IZ names, please submit a support case.

Add "ACS Symposium Series eBooks - Archives" to CZ
Could you please add the "ACS Symposium Series eBooks - Archives" as a collection in the Alma Community Zone knowledge base?
Currently there's an "American Chemical Society Symposium Series" collection in the CZ which includes backfile and front file titles.
Since my library only owns the archival collection, I have to select only those titles in the larger Symposium CZ collections since there's no separate archive collection.
The archival collection has a 4 year moving wall where it gains a new year of titles annually.
Thank you.

Need up-to-date 'Westlaw Thomson Reuters' CZ Selective Package
There is no up-to-date ‘Westlaw Thomson Reuters’ Selective Package in the Community Zone. This Westlaw database has had much flux over recent years, including name changes.
Due to internal changes of where particular content is kept in the database, even in the most recent CZ Selective Packages many parser parameter links need to be updated.142 votesHello all,
As indicated in the previous note, we had been in contact with the provider and they do not have a specific collection called “Westlaw Thomson Reuters Selective Package”.
Without any further details or information we will close this request.
Should you like to request a specific Westlaw Thomson Reuters collection that we can obtain, please create a new request on this platform and we will work with the provider to make it accessible.Thank you,
