Ex Libris®, a ProQuest company, has announced that Washington State University (WSU) has chosen the Ex Libris Esploro™ research services solution to further optimise the university's research workflows. Built on the Ex Libris Alma® library services platform the Esploro solution will become the university's unified solution for managing all research output and data, spanning different phases of the research lifecycle as well as providing a high-level view of researcher activities.
Prior to its pursuit of an appropriate research management tool, WSU defined ways in which the library would be able to enhance research as well as intensify collaboration and engagement across the campus. In addition, the university's requirements for a research management tool included the ability to identify grant opportunities and collect and safeguard research data and publications in a central repository.
Leveraging the library staff's expertise in managing metadata and describing resources, WSU will benefit from Esploro workflows that describe the entire gamut of the university's research output, from art installations to STEM data sets. The WSU Libraries will be able to engage and collaborate with university researchers, supporting researchers by automatically capturing publications and unifying the deposit of multiple-format research outputs. These automated workflows are instrumental in removing some of the administrative and compliance hurdles and enabling researchers to focus on their research product.
