Description
As the institutional repository community reaches a new phase of maturity, we see what was once a niche, library-focused endeavor is now considered by most academic institutions as a necessity. With developments in digital technology and cloud-based solutions, the potential for the IR to maximize its original goals and expand supported use cases has rocketed and positioned the repository as the authoritative source of data around scholarly outputs and impact, plus so much more.
In this session, we ask, why does your repository need to be *just* a repository? Esploro tackles that question head on, offering a suite of functionality that leverages the rich, diverse metadata available via the Ex Libris Central Discovery Index and other sources to populate a comprehensive research data hub and feed people-centric profiles representing scholars in every discipline. This makes your repository so much more than just an IR -- it is transformed into an open research information hub, situating the library as a critical collaborator in conversations around research impact.
