Enriching records of two collections contributed to CZ by Turku University Library.
Turku University Library (FI-T)has contributed two collections to CZ: Finnish Historical Journals (Collection id 61254065080005971 )and Finnish Historical Newspapers (Collection id 61218060720005971).

FI-T as a contributor is of course responsible of the quality and validity of the…

Add Elsevier Open Archive Collection
Can you add a collection for Elsevier's Open Archive? See this list here: https://www.elsevier.com/open-access/open-archive
It doesn't contain all the open access titles, but it does contain a list of the backfiles they've unlocked with the date ranges.
Thanks!
10 votesHello,
Unfortunately, Elsevier does not provide a sustainable updated title list for this collection.
Therefore, Ex Libris cannot maintain this collection in the CZ, and it can be added and managed locally using the Librarian Resource Center

SPRINGER_NATURE__SPRINGER_PROTOCOLS_ARCHIVE
We purchased 1980-2010 of the Springer Protocols Archive. There are 3 targets but none have the same coverage as our purchase: 1980-2004, 1980-2024 and 2008-2024. Would it be possible to get a target in SFX that covers 1980-2010?

At this time, Springer is not producing the title list for this collection, therefore we will not be able to add it to the Knowledgebases.

Request to Include DOI in Article Links for Article Galaxy Scholar
I would like to request that the DOI be included in the article links for Reprints Desk Article Galaxy Scholar (dbcode: ABJNI).
The reason for this request is that Article Galaxy Scholar checks for the availability of open-access articles using the DOI. Currently, the DOI is not included in the full-text links, which prevents the open-access check from functioning properly.
0 votesHello,
This request for adding DOI in article links is better addressed in a support ticket, as it is a request to update an existing collection.
Please open a support ticket, so our designated support analysts can review and decide on the best course of action.

Please add to CDI images from the flickr commons of institutions
Hello,
Please consider adding to CDI images from:
https://www.flickr.com/commons/institutionsIn the CZ there is a database for "Flickr Images" - Collection ID: 6113989190000041, however, it is not CDI.
The images from libraries and archives that appear in Flickr can be a very useful addition to image format search in CDI.
Thanks,
Irit and Dafna1 voteHello,
We received a response from Flickr, in which they require payment for sending us the metadata.
In this case, we will not pursue adding the collection to CDI.

Bloomsbury Fashion 2023
Please add a collection for Bloomsbury Fashion 2023. While this collection currently does exist (id 615460000000001242), many portfolios were removed from it.
The titles from this collection have been added to Bloomsbury Fashion Central which only provides access to customers that have purchased the database and does not provide access to those that purchased the ebook subject collection.
Ex. Link for Bloomsbury Fashion Central https://www.bloomsburyfashioncentral.com/encyclopedia?docid=b-9781350247789
Link for Bloomsbury Ebooks https://www.bloomsburycollections.com/monograph?docid=b-9781350247789All other Bloomsbury Collection ebooks have subject collections in the CZ and Fashion 2023 should not be an exception.

As you wrote, Bloomsbury Fashion 2023 already exists so we will not create anew collection with the same name, rather we need to review why the titles were removed and to set up automation for the updating file to get the titles back.
