The integration experience at Southern Cross University

9-10 September: pre-Conference meetings (at the KU Leuven Faculty of Social Science)
11-13 September: IGeLU 2023 Conference + Ex Libris Knowledge Days
14 September: Developers' Day + Ex Libris Knowledge Days + Ex Libris Primo VE Workshops

Except for sessions marked as "Physical session only (no live streaming)", all sessions are accessible to physical and virtual participants.

Southern Cross University launched Esploro in July 2020, going live with the Researcher Profiles. The platform's success at an institutional level has depended on developing integrations that benefit the researcher and streamline workflows for the institution. Our focus has been on a concerted effort to automate dataflows and minimise manual data entry.
In this presentation, I will discuss our experience with configuring, testing and improving integrations, such as the Researcher feed, ORCID, Web of Science, Smart harvesting and Smart expansion, Datacite, OAI-PMH, Pivot RP, and feeding data to the Southern Cross website. I will also share our failures and lessons learnt from the Ex Libris community.
The functionality of Esploro continues to grow, and as early adopters, we are keen to be at the forefront of new developments wherever possible and particularly where we see a benefit for our institution. Our experience working with the Esploro development team will also be shared.
