Description
Institutional repositories are using third-party products to entice more users and contributors. Most repositories have some sort of integration, even if it is simply embedding a YouTube video. Over the last two years, Zach S. Henderson Library has worked with the Office of Research and Economic Development to provide a robust set of services for their faculty by integrating multiple products. While Zach S. Henderson Library provides Digital Commons@Georgia Southern and its SelectedWorks profiles, the Office of Research and Economic Development sponsors PlumX Metrics and the Expertise Search. The Expertise Search is a tool for users to find faculty members by research interests. PlumX Metrics provides faculty with traditional metrics (citations) as well as altmetrics (usage, captures, mentions, and social media). In this presentation, learn about these products and how they are integrated with one another. Ashley Lowery will provide her perspective as an institutional repository manager who oversees the integration between Digital Commons, SelectedWorks, and PlumX Metrics. Jeb Barger will provide his perspective as an application developer who created a custom-made Expertise Search and oversees its integration.
