New "Management Level" Indication for Community Zone Collections
A new "Management level" indicator on Community Zone collections will be set to inform the user who is responsible for the management of the collection.
The indication will help librarians decide what to do with additions, deletions and edits.
There are five types of collection management:
-
Managed by Ex Libris
-
Community Managed
-
Not maintained (The vendor no longer supports this collection)
-
Pending deletion (the deletion date will be added next to this value)
-
Contributed collections
This indication will help users understand who is responsible for the upkeep of the collection.
Please be advised that the "Report to Ex Libris" action remains available only for collections managed by Ex Libris.

Collections that are contributed by institutions appear on this page.
Please use the relevant contact information for reporting any issues for contributed collections directly to the contributing institution.
If there is no contact info, please open a case titled “contributed collection missing contact info”.
If we will not be able to find an active contact for maintaining the collection, we will change it’s management level to “not maintained”.
