ETD/Student work deposit notification
There is currently only one letter that can be used for ETDs with limited options for customization.
To best serve our student community, it is important to have an ETD deposit notification letter that is generated when an ETD is ingested in Esploro. This communication allows us to not only confirm their deposit has been review and ingested, but to provide the student with the open access permanent URL (handle) that they can use when citing their work. In many cases, this information is required by employers or for other verification purposes.
This information is vital to our student depositors,…

Enable multiple creators for ETDs
Currently, the ETD author field is not repeatable. We have many ETDs that are co-authored (some having up to 6 authors). Additional authors can be added in the contributors section with role author, but that a) gives them much less prominence in the record and b) requires creating a non-affiliated researcher record. We request that the ETD author field be repeatable to allow for the same level of attribution in the discovery record, and prevent the creation of non-affiliated researcher records which duplicate existing Alma profiles.

We understand that doing this via SmartHarvesting is difficult at best, but an PUT API or or some other process is possible.
The ones we are having the most trouble with are physics papers as we have member of ATLAS which has the aforementioned almost 3000 authors. Currently we have to remove the 'extra' names one…

Add local notes field to researcher record
It would be useful to be able to add free-text local notes to researcher records.
We could add employment information if someone works outside of academia.
We could add notes if a researcher dies.
We could add additional information to help disambiguate authors with duplicate names working in similar fields or institutions.15 votesThis has been added to the February 2024 release
