ORCID/Researcher O365 integration

Institutional license (integration) not approved

Individuals may enroll on their own.

[…Institutional license] would be useful to an organization, not an individual, from what I understand (e.g., connecting with institutional repository, journal publishing platforms, etc.).

I think the institutional membership discussion is something that could be brought up again when we have a new University Librarian in place, but as that position still hasn’t been posted, I don’t think it’s an option for the time being to look into, at least from the Library side.

Registering as an individual is free and will provide most of the access required.
