Ex Libris®, a ProQuest company, has announced that RMIT University has opted for the Ex Libris Esploro™ research services solution to help capture, manage, and disseminate the university’s research output and data. The solution is built on the Ex Libris Alma® library services platform, which RMIT has been using since 2013.
A cloud-based system, Esploro captures research assets and can store them in a central repository along with their metadata. The solution increases the impact of an institution’s academic research by maximizing the visibility of research output, automating the update of scholar profiles and delivering analysis and reporting of research activities. Seamless integration of Esploro with academic systems boosts efficiency for library staff, research administrators, and scholars.
RMIT was seeking a product that would provide robust features for managing research data and output from all academic disciplines and could help address current challenges, including compliance with open access mandates and efficient management of Article Processing Charges (APC). In addition, RMIT wanted to enable researchers to create detailed profiles that would be discoverable. The Esploro solution met all these requirements.
As an early adopter of Esploro, the university is enthusiastic about having the opportunity to work with Ex Libris and the Esploro community to shape a product that will increase the exposure of, and access to, the university’s research publications and output. The Esploro solution will help RMIT strengthen collaboration with scholars in Australia and overseas.
