In 2015, the University of Cincinnati (UC) shared its experiences at CNI on the implementation of an ecosystem focused on research, scholarship, knowledge management and administration (Research Hub @ UC). Two key components, UC’s Research Directory and Scholar@UC, were designed to support researchers, faculty, administrators and institutional partners by providing a platform and set of services that streamline processes, automate data collection and management procedures, facilitate collaboration initiatives and provide rich data for analysis and forecasting. This year, we are integrating the two environments as well as releasing a new ecosystem (CORE) that aggregates multiple services for faculty and administrators and potential partners. CORE provides enhanced visualizations and dynamically driven utilities that support multiple aspects of the research lifecycle from ideation to creation. One use case is enhancing collection development and liaison services based on harvesting and analyzing faculty profiles. Collection development librarians rely heavily on their relationships with faculty and understanding of necessary materials in their subject areas to guide their collection practices, but this process can be time consuming and challenging especially with staff reductions and increasing responsibilities. To make the process more effective and efficient, we created an API to harvest faculty research interest and publication history in the Research Directory. The UC Research Scholarship ecosystem continues to evolve as needs grow at all levels. Leveraging the strong partnership between UC Libraries, UCIT and Research, we will continue to expand integrations, micro-services and macro subsystems. This presentation is an update on UC’s Research Scholarship ecosystem and highlights latest developments in the suite of services.
