Aurora Health Care in Wisconsin and Advocate Health Care in Illinois merged into Advocate Aurora Health in 2018. Advocate Aurora Health is a large, multistate health care system that has 26 hospitals, over 500 sites of care, and 75,000 employees. Aurora Health Care implemented an institutional repository (IR) in 2013. Through the merger we were able to expand our IR to include Advocate content in the summer of 2020. In this presentation, we will discuss: Key stakeholder relationships that helped us build the reputation of the IR at legacy Aurora Health Care and ultimately secured support at a system level …

Academic libraries, and institutional repositories in particular, play a key role in the ongoing quest for ways to gather metrics and connect the dots between researchers and research contributions in order to measure “institutional impact,” while also streamlining workflows to reduce administrative burden. Identifying accurate metrics and measurements for illustrating “impact” is a goal that many academic research institutions share, but these goals can only be met to the extent that all organizations across the research and scholarly communication landscape are using best practices and shared standards in research infrastructure. For example, persistent identifiers (PIDs) such as ORCID iDs (Open …

Figshare Repositories: New Data-Sharing Features For Researchers And Librarians, Andrew Mckenna-Foster
Medical Institutional Repositories in Libraries (MIRL)
With expanding funder data sharing policies, especially the new NIH data management and sharing policy slated for 2023, we expect that researchers from medical research institutions will increasingly need trusted repositories to share data and all of the other products of their research. However, the complexity of sharing medical research data, even when anonymized, means data are often not shared despite funder policies. In the past year, Figshare, a trusted repository platform that meets funder requirements across the globe, released a suite of new features to fit data sharing needs, increase impact, and encourage sharing. Useful to both researchers and …
Next Generation Research Information Hub: Esploro Smart Harvesting In 2021—Enabling Comprehensive, Accurate, And Automated Coverage Of Your Scholarly Assets And Expertise, Dave Stout
Medical Institutional Repositories in Libraries (MIRL)
Historically, a primary challenge for repository managers has been successfully capturing and exposing as close to 100% of an institution’s research assets and activities as possible. It is traditionally a resource- and time-intensive endeavor. Ex Libris’s Esploro addresses this challenge head-on with our Smart Harvesting AI, first by leveraging the industry leading Central Discovery Index (CDI) (which drives the Primo and Summon discovery services), and second by automating the routines needed to harvest repository content. The CDI provides clients immediate access to an incredible foundation of over 4.5 billion records from which they can populate their Esploro IR and comprehensively …
