I saw a presentation on the HKU development of a Current Research Information System on top of their DSpace repository (http://hub.hku.hk/) that, among many other things, does a good job of collecting publication information through harvesting with ORCID ids, etc. They are releasing the code as a module to add on to DSpace (http://cilea.github.io/dspace-cris/). It is probably more of a long-term solution than what you are thinking about now, but it may be worth looking at.

> Hi guys,

> Does your library maintain a database of faculty publications? How do you do it?
>
> Some things I've come across in my (admittedly brief) research:
> - RSS feeds from the major databases
> - RefWorks citation lists
>
> These options do not necessarily work for my university, made up of 24 colleges/institutions, 6,700+ FT faculty, and 270,000+ degree-seeking students.
>
> Does anyone have a better solution? It need not be searchable: we are just interested in pulling a periodical report of articles written by our faculty/students without relying on them self-reporting days/weeks/months/years after the fact.

> Thanks!
