  2. Online games

    Rainy day had me stuck indoors with nothing going on. Wanted a fun distraction so I looked for something entertaining online. Checked out https://casino.ua/casino/show-game/3-oaks/sun-of-egypt-2/ and it’s got a cool feel. Seriously the bonuses are nice, free tries at first and extra perks that show up often making it worth a go. To me it’s cool how quick it loads up.

  4. Show SDGs as a facet

    The information on the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in the assets in Esploro has enormous potential. We would love to be able to have the SDGs as a facet, since that way users can filter outputs towards their aims. Since the information is already in the asset, we think it could be an easy gain for ExLibris to enable the faceting of this info.

  5. Harvest Media Mentions from Altmetric

    Media Mentions are an excellent way to showcase the impact of our university’s research, but we haven’t made use of this functionality because we don’t have the staff time to find and enter this information one by one. But there are sources for this data, like Altmetric. Esploro already displays Altmetric scores, badges, and details at the research asset level. Altmetric tracks each mention of a research output by news outlets (for example: https://dimensions.altmetric.com/details/49291201/news). If Altmetric news outlet mentions could be harvested by Esploro as Media Mentions, it would greatly improve the efficiency and effectiveness of this functionality. As…

  6. batch revise author role

    We had a request to create a report identifying corresponding authors. We do not have this data in Esploro. We may be able to get this data, but we have no way to alter author roles in multiple assets in an efficient manner. As CREDIT and other uses of roles in an asset become more important for our faculty members and departments, having a way to add this information in an efficient manner would be very helpful

  7. Make subtype display more prominently

    The subtype field could make our existing asset types much more flexible if it displayed in the brief results (both in the portal and on profiles). We use it to clarify "other" and to add more specificity to an existing type, for example Statutory Drafting, Brief of Appellant, Documentary, and Audiobook. A facet is actually not a good solution (despite having previously suggested it and that being implemented) because it makes these minor subtypes appear very prominently for broad searches. (We turned on this feature when it was introduced and almost immediately turned it off). The real need is both…

  8. Cover images for metadata only items

    We would like a way to have a thumbnail/cover image associated with a metadata only item, particularly a book. We would want the cover to display in a collection like this https://iro.uiowa.edu/esploro/search/collections/Recent-Books-by-UI-Authors/Books?institution=01IOWA_INST to make it look more engaging. The image should as display on a profile, and it should be part of the import to Primo so that it displays there as well. The cover needs to be marked in some way as a cover image so it does not appear to be something with full text available; a cover image should NOT make the asset be flagged as OA.…

  9. Option to make file upload required on researcher deposit form

    Our institution requires that researchers upload an electronic copy of their work to add it to the repository. However, researchers often submit the deposit form without adding a file. In order to prevent this from happening and avoid having to return the deposit as incomplete, we would like the option to make file upload a required field in the researcher deposit form. See screenshot: https://app.screencast.com/UinpbBIjMkU7D.

  10. Related Researchers

    Our faculty requested the ability to have related researchers appear in their profiles. Other products offer similiar functionality (e.g., https://research.torrens.edu.au/en/persons/mifrah-ahmad/similar). Ideally, our faculty would have the ability to manually modify who displays in their list.

    Business need: Students often seek out faculty based on their research interest. Sometime the faculty member they want to work with doesn't have availability. This feature would allow the student to see other faculty working on related research.

  11. SIS Loader Improvement - Handling Organizational Unit Affiliation

    When loading and maintaining researcher using the SIS loader if a researcher being added/updated contains an internal organization affiliation that is not configured in Esploro, that researcher will not load/update. An error is is created.

    This "idea" suggests that instead of an error being created in these cases, the researcher be assigned to a default internal organization that is configured by the site. A warning/exception would then be created in the SIS loader processing log stating the internal organization was not found, so the default internal organization was utilized instead.

  12. Send ETD notifications to faculty

    Currently when ETDs are published, faculty members who participated as advisors or committee members on the manuscript are listed in the contributors section, and it appears to be linked to their researcher profile. However, despite the manuscript being connected to said faculty members, they are not notified of the addition when the ETD is published and only the student is notified. We have some faculty members who would like to keep track of the manuscripts they have been on an advisory committee for, but there is currently no front end way. Add a feature to send notifications to faculty members…

  13. ORCID Integration - Push to ORCID in Asset

    The current Esploro ORCID integration allows a Delete from ORCID option associated with an asset that runs immediately. Could we have the same option but to push the asset to ORCID?

  14. Option to sort collections by date

    We would like the option to set the default sort for collections to be by date. Relevance is not useful for collections because they are a preselected group of materials; there is not yet a search for which relevance applies. We often use collections to highlight new content so it would be helpful if we could have new content at the top of the results by default so users do not need to change the sort order.

  15. Move Activities date field so that when Activity is created or edited via the Portal is more obvious how to update

    When a researcher adds an activity via their profile it is not obvious where to enter the date. They need to know to click the pencil icon next to the title of the activity to add or edit the date. This is a problem for Researchers both when initially creating an Activity and if editing and existing Activity.

    My suggestion is to move the editing of Activity dates out of the title section of the Activity and instead put it on the main Edit Activity form. See attached mockup.

  16. Improve Open Access badge logic for assets

    Problem: OA badges appear on assets even when neither the asset nor a file or link is designated as OA. This misrepresents the meaning of OA to simply mean “free to read,” and may be incorrectly applied to works to which the creator reserves rights and are not true OA as understood in the community.

    Solution: Change the logic as follows:

    • An asset should have the OA badge only if a file or link is explicitly affirmed as Open Access, or if the asset itself is declared Open Access.
    • Files or links with no value (blank) under access restrictions should…

  17. Researcher engagement type – make it possible for researchers to add and edit

    It is possible to add researcher engagement type to the profiles. At the present, this feature is restricted to system administrators. It would be most beneficial if the researcher could add and edit the engagement type themselves.

  18. Ability to reorder sections on the Researcher Profile Overview page

    We are using the Research Engagement field to indicate which faculty are open to speaking to the media. (We've labelled this "Media Availability.") This often appears at the top of the profile (e.g. when the researcher hasn't filled in the "Areas of Interest" field), and we would like to be able to move it down. Here is an example: https://scholars.csus.edu/esploro/profile/erin_kaplan/overview?institution=01CALS_USL

  20. Statistics section on Esploro Research Portal for subunits

    With the new Esploro organizational tree is now possible to display also on subunit webpages the statistics section with metrics related to downloads and views of Esploro records.
    In case of organizations with 3 levels (for example in a multi-institution repository where every single institution has itself faculties or institutes as subunits) the metrics are correctly displayed at the parent and at the last sub-unit level, but the middle levels doesn’t display the sum of their sub-units.
    In the described scenario this would help to highlight the impact of the research of the single participating institutions.
