Description
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 represent the outputs and expertise of their diverse scholars. More content and representation in the IR drives better outcomes for all. Esploro offers a convergence of myriad legacy systems under a single platform. Esploro gives you rich data structures and templates, Smart Harvesting of content, and strong analytics and reporting, plus rich, dynamic scholar profiles to help you increase visibility of your assets and talent. This unification of disparate information helps address multiple stakeholder groups with data relevant to their specific goals and mandates, and reduces the technology footprint of multiple systems now consolidated into one, Esploro.
