Struggling to keep up with demand

We have encountered a small technical hitch due to the high number of York staff all trying to register for an ORCID iD at the same time. The high volume of calls to the ORCID website from within PURE led to system problem and PURE had to be restarted.
It's back working as normal and as the volume of requests normalises we aren't expecting to encounter the same problem again.
Looking at the positive, the fact that we have a high volume of initial uptake is very encouraging.

Full launch across the University!

The roll-out of ORCID across University of York has begun in earnest with an email from the Pro-Vice-Chancellor for Research asking all research staff to sign up for an iD or add their existing iDs to Pure. 
But the hard work doesn't end here. We will be looking a the uptake of ORCID and getting questions and feedback from researchers to make sure we are providing the information, systems, and support that researchers need.
