← Have an idea for Ex Libris?

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

How can we improve Content?

You've used all your votes and won't be able to post a new idea, but you can still search and comment on existing ideas.

There are two ways to get more votes:

  • When an admin closes an idea you've voted on, you'll get your votes back from that idea.
  • You can remove your votes from an open idea you support.
  • To see ideas you have already voted on, select the "My feedback" filter and select "My open ideas".

Enter your idea and we'll search to see if someone has already suggested it.

If a similar idea already exists, you can support and comment on it.

If it doesn't exist, you can post your idea so others can support it.

Enter your idea and we'll search to see if someone has already suggested it.

  2. KL Hatke

    Please consider adding the online publication KL Hatke to the community zone. KL Hatke is a media platform that produces articles written by women in rural India. The content is mainly articles. It would be great to have this added as a portfolio or database so that the CDI might create article records for discovery.

  3. Gale US Declassified Documents Online

    Hello, can Ex Libris please work with Gale to get this collection indexed in CDI? There are ten existing database collection in the CZ, but none have portfolios, and they don't have CDI access. Gale's page for the collection states that there are over 700,000 resources in the collection, so portfolio-level access doesn't seem realistic.

    Thanks,

    Kevin

  4. Add journal 'Art + Auction' from Ebsco

    The journal 'Art + Auction' is part of Ebsco's Art and Architecture Source, but because it's changed title and ISSN in the past, there is quite a bit of coverage that is not indexed in Primo, even though it's available on the platform.
    ExLibris explained as follows:
    "Art & Auction (ISSN 0197-1093) - covered up to 2013.
    Blouin Art + Auction (ISSN 2331-5342) - started from 2014 onwards.
    In Alma, and particularly in the Community Zone, it's common that the provider (EBSCO in this case) combines coverage for both ISSNs into a single title or portfolio, especially if the publisher…

    AdminTamar Ganor (Admin, Ex Libris) responded

    Hello,

    We do not receive discovery metadata from Ebsco.

    In order to obtain such metadata, we will need to establish a workflow with a new provider - the publisher of Art + Auction.

    Since the process for new providers is going through CERV, I have changed the status of this request and it will be prioritized by the Content Working Group.

    Kind regards,

    Tamar Ganor
