Session Abstract
The Free University of Bozen-Bolzano has adopted both Clarivate's Converis and Esploro as Research Information Systems. Converis plays an important role in the management of all research-related administrative tasks. Integrated with the local applications for users and financial information, it stores the data related to institutional research activity. It is used to manage users, project applications, ongoing and completed projects, patents, publications metadata, fulltexts, activities and study plans for PhD students. The public interface for Converis was a hosted installation of DSpace and now it is provided by Esploro, implemented as multi-institution repository by the library as early adopter in 2020. Key drivers, the main issues and challenges in the current scenario, also in consideration of the recent acquisition of ProQuest by Clarivate, are discussed in this presentation.
