← 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".
(thinking…)

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.

    Hello,

    Unfortunately, we were unable to obtain the other title lists from the provider.

    Therefore, we will not be able to add these collections to the Knowledgebases.

    Hi,

    We have contacted Maruzen in request to add the missing content.

    The provider is not interested in sending us metadata for these collections.

    Therefore we will not add these to the Knowledge Bases, please maintain them locally.

  3. Add recent titles to Ancient Near East Monographs open access series from SBL

    Our faculty and students have a high interest in these books.

  6. Peeters E-Books

    Alma has already an electronic Collection for Peeters Online Journals.

    Therefore I ask you to add the following three collections to Alma:
    Peeters Online E-Books
    Peeters Online Open Access E-Books
    Peeters Online Series

    You find the necessary content on https://www.peeters-leuven.be/index.php. As it is an existing provider, I suppose that you have already some contact information. On the website I only found very general contact information.

    Hello,

    We do not receive any metadata for the Peeters journals collection, and the provider is not interested in sending us a feed for the books or series either.

    Therefore we will not be able to create these collections.

  8. Update Bloomsbury Education and Childhood Studies

    We activated the Education & Childhood Studies CZ collection but are waiting for the CZ collection to be updated to reflect the 2023 autumn update. We set our collection so that new portfolios are automatically updated but the collection doesn't seem to have been updated since 27/09/23. There are currently 189 titles in the collection, the latest creation date being 26/02/2023. My colleague has checked a few of the new titles just for the sake of completeness and although they are in the CZ they aren't in the Education & Childhood Studies collections as yet.

    We are expecting:

  9. Open Library of Humanities

    It seems Open Library of Humanities, https://www.openlibhums.org/, hasn't updated their title list in the 360 KB since 2020 (last full update was in 2015) (DB code ABAGC).

    Zygon is now part of Open Library of Humanities and we would like to be able to connect our users to it via Summon/360.

    I sent a message to Andy Byers via the OLH contact form, https://www.openlibhums.org/contact/, but also wanted to ask you all to follow up with them.

    Thank you!

  13. Indexing the content directly

    Please consider indexing the content for the title, American Journal of Play. As stated by ex libris in my recent case, "we do not have any providers that can send us records for the 2008 -2011 content of American journal of play." "I checked in CDI and the majority of our records for American journal of play come from ProQuest. ProQuest only has full text and citation coverage starting in 2012. Gale also indexes content from this journal, but they only start indexing content in 2014. With content on EBSCO, we have to rely on alternative coverage, because EBSCO does…

  16. Update MathSciNet CZ collection

    MathSciNet has many more journals in the database than are currently indexed the CZ collection (ID: 613800000000000364). See this list here: https://mathscinet.ams.org/mathscinet/2006/mathscinet/mrcit/journal_list.html Can this collection be reviewed? I think all those journals are available in full-text in the database...

    Updating existing collections need to go through opening a support case so unfortunately I cannot update the collection without going through SalesForce.

  19. Add database for Skillsoft Percipio french titles

    Ex Libris recently added two new databases (AABQT & ANMXM) with English titles available in Skillsoft's Percipio based on content lists that we provided (original case 06845269). This was very helpful to us! We've also procured French titles in Percipio; could we please add these as another database so that our users can search them in Summon along with our other Percipio titles? I've attached the list of titles with permalinks.

    Hello,

    According to Skillsoft, They do not sell a "French" only collection for Percipio.

    They requested that if we create such a collection we will restrict the activation to Environment Canada only which we cannot accommodate.

    In this case I would suggest creating a local collection with the title list you have.

    Please reach out to me directly if further clarification is needed

  20. Add CDI coverage or portfolios for Qwest TV collection

    There is a database collection for Qwest TV, Collection ID: 615300000000000195, but the collection has no CDI coverage or portfolios. Adding CDI coverage or portfolios or both would be useful and make the content discoverable in Primo.
