Pure upgrade

We have now moved our live instance of Pure (Research Information System) to version 4.18.
V.4.18 has the ORCID functionality not present in earlier versions and necessary for completion of the ORCID project at York, so it's implementation is something of a relief. There was a potential cloud on the horizon as the connector that joins Pure to ePrints, and through which we populate our institutional repository, was not working as expected in the new instance of Pure. For a while there loomed the difficult decision between living without the connector or delaying the Pure upgrade but, thanks to the Pure support at Elsevier, the problem has now been resolved and Pure 4.18 is up and running, connector and all.
