Conference
This presentation will examine Southern Cross University Library's experience of implementing the Esploro Research Services Platform as an early adopter. I will discuss the reasons we chose to move to Esploro, the expected benefits, the additional functionality and integrations with external services, some of which are touched on below.
Esploro offers automatic capture of research assets via external web services, integrations such as Sherpa/Romeo and ORCID. Bringing the research services platform into the Library management systems provides more efficient workflows through automated triggering of Alma workflows. Esploro will integrate with our CRIS via open APIs providing enriched metadata and increasing efficiencies between the Office of research and the Library.
I will discuss the challenges of migrating from a siloed system with no integrations with University systems to, Esploro and the solutions we chose as a small institution, the integration points, what has worked and what has not.
