User Feedback

• Great to be able to add records using a DOI

BUT

• Would like to do more than one DOI at a time

• Do we need to check the information returned?

• Can’t the STFC organisational stuff be automatic?UKCoRR 27th January 2012

Our plans

• Looking at user profile information for STFC-related information• Investigating multiple DOI entry• Rethinking the input checking process
