      FAQ

      Ex Libris maintains three Knowledgebases and one Central Discovery Index. These high quality metadata databases power all Ex Libris products, including Alma, Primo, Summon, SFX, 360 and more.  

      The Knowledgebases are maintained on the journal/book-level metadata. The Central Discovery Index (CDI) is maintained on the article/book-chapter metadata level. Ex Libris does not host full text content, while ensuring easy and intuitive access to the content on the relevant provider’s platform.  

      The metadata is supplied directly by Content Providers, otherwise Ex Libris searches for alternative methods to obtain or create the necessary metadata at high quality levels for the benefit of our institutions, libraries, catalogers, librarians and end-users.    

      The Ex Libris Content team manages the foundational metadata catalogs and databases that power all Ex Libris products. Ex Libris Content is essential for all librarian activities, from the Alma Community Zone (CZ) and the SFX and 360 Knowledgebases, to the massive Central Discovery Index (CDI). These Knowledgebases and Index are required for Alma and Primo/Summon to confirm availability of content, create links to it, and make it accessible to end users. 

      Ex Libris is highly transparent and open about our content coverage. All content managed and maintained by Ex Libris is cataloged and tracked in the Ex Libris Knowledge Center Content page. This includes the Alma Community Zone Collection List, as well as the Central Discovery Index (CDI) Collection List 

      Yes, content neutrality is an important value for Ex Libris, ingrained into processed and workflows from start to finish.  

      Starting with community engagement and input on what metadata should be included in our databases, this ensures that the collection and content coverage is diverse and inclusive, spanning all languages, regional requirements and other local considerations.  

      Working closely with Content Providers across the globe, we are certain to have access to high quality metadata that covers all content types, formats, languages, and more.  

      Prioritization of content ingestion is based on community needs, requests and feedback, establishing a strong, customer-driven basis for relevant collection management.
