Ex Libris
ProQuest's Ex Libris specialises in developing integrated library systems and other library software, partnering with academic libraries globally to enhance the discoverability of content from providers like Thoth Open Metadata. Ex Libris achieve this by managing comprehensive Knowledgebases (for collection and title-level repositories) and a robust Discovery Index (CDI) for granular metadata management. Alma is their library management system
This enables the seamless discovery of titles and articles for Ex Libris customers. Ex Libris facilitate discovery but do not host full-text content; full-text content is submitted by Thoth to ProQuest Ebook Central for access by subscribing institutions.
Direct metadata feeds from providers like Thoth ensure accurate and timely updates for Ex Libris's extensive library community, streamlining the process compared to individual library-level representations.
Content submission guidelines for the Central Discovery Index can be found here, and the Knowledgebases here.
