Summon CDI Collection List
The CDI collection list (Feb 4, 2025) contains all 360 Databases with coverage in CDI. For those collections that are indexed directly from the providers, such as the primary publishers, ProQuest, Gale, and many others, the coverage is 100%. In cases where we do not get the data directly from the provider, their content (as listed in the KnowledgeBase) is mapped against the entire Index, and the percentage of overlap is calculated accordingly. The CDI Coverage percentage column indicates that overlap. The Direct From Provider column shows whether a collection is indexed with metadata directly from the provider.
Unless indicated in the following table, we update the column's information monthly.
The list contains the following columns:
Column | Description |

Database Name |
The name of the Database |
Provider Name |
The provider which the Database relates to |

360 DBID code |

This field indicates the percentage of titles, from this specific Database, which have coverage in the Index. The coverage can come from the same provider or from other CDI sources. |
