ELUNA 2023 Annual Meeting
Integrating ORCID into Alma/Esploro: Built-in and Custom Options
Session Abstract
The University of Miami Libraries implemented Ex Libris Esploro as our Institutional Repository in 2021. As part of this implementation, the University of Miami (UM) started an initiative to integrate ORCID iDs for researchers across the institution. We started with the built-in Esploro ORCID integration, but because not everyone at UM is a researcher in Esploro, we also needed a solution that could connect ORCID iDs for everyone independent of Esploro, thus we developed the “ORCID Integration Tool."
This presentation will outline how to set up the Esploro built-in integration to ORCID for Researcher profiles and the development process we took for building the “ORCID Integration Tool” for Non-Researchers.
Learning Outcome #1
Participants will be able to set up the Esploro built-in integration to ORCID for researcher profiles.
Learning Outcome #2
Participants will learn the process for building a custom ORCID integration tool using the Ex Libris and ORCID APIs.
Learning Outcome #3
Participants will learn about ORCID Institutional Login and API keys.
