A new academic profile page for Tilburg University: too little too late?
“I am not planning to maintain
another profile in Pure, the
University’s website, or elsewhere.
I keep my own website up to date
and I think that’s already a lot of
work…. I think it is too little too
late, especially if it has such
limited possibilities.”

Facts and figures
“I have to update it myself. I keep
forgetting it (and also dislike
doing it, because it costs quite a
bit of time) and it seems that it is
never up to date. Also when
looking up other researchers”
Portal – previous
Use of other profile pages
Researchers with a non-University profile page

Other (ie Researchgate, Academia etc)
Combination 2 or more
• Three objectives:
1. Reuse data out of other systems:
• Daily sync: HR-, Education system, IdM
• Migration- sync once: Experts & Expertise
2. Encourage researchers to update profile information, publications, activities etc. in Pure
3. Implement cloud portal Pure
Project improved profile pages
Inspired by: Scott Taylor, University of Manchester (“Raising the bar: how Pure is helping us build world class library research services at Manchester”, Pure conference Barcelona 2017)

First comments after go live of portal
For a succesful implementation of profile pages in the Pure cloud portal:
• Make maximum use of profile data already recorded in other university
systems
• Point out the benefits of using the university profile page to researchers
• Let researchers link as much as possible to their other profile pages
• Guide your researchers in keeping their profile pages up to date with
help texts, FAQs and a customized manual
