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) - will be added during Q1 2025
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.

Community Managed Collections

These collections have Bulk::Bulk parsers, and the portfolios are hosted on a variety of platforms.

For best practices to manage portfolios in these collection, please refer to the Knowledge Article written by the Community Zone Management Group.

Currently, these are the collections that are categorized as 'Managed by Community.

For these collections, users can create, edit and delete Community Zone portfolios.

Linking an electronic portfolio to a bibliographic record in your institution zone will not change the Community Zone collection, and will only impact your Institution Zone.
To edit Community Zone bibliographic records use the MD editor.

Please be aware that any update done with the MD editor will impact the bibliographic record in the community managed collection for the entire Community Zone.

The option to delete a portfolio can be found in:

On the Community Zone portfolio.
Enhancement to the existing Delete action on Institution Zone portfolios that are activated from the five Community Zone collections.

The option to delete portfolios from community managed collections will enable full community independence over these collections and content.

“Not Maintained” collections

These collections no longer receive regular updates from the content providers, but as the links are still working and the records are usable, the collections are being kept as "Not Maintained".

The parser for most of these collections uses linking syntax, so they will not be changed to "Community Managed".

The following collections are defined as "Not Maintained":

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”.
