I agree that the user ids can be helpful. VIVO has an available harvester tool which is designed to find citations for a given author from PubMed, but in testing we did at the University of New Mexico (I'm still there for a short time until moving on to OU) we didn't find it to be terribly effective. Not surprising, given the limits of PubMed entries. I like Ken Varnum's answer . . . you really need robust faculty buy in. I personally keep a running tally of publications and presentations on my website so that I have a single, master list. I may use Zotero as well, but I always know that my website will have everything. Getting faculty to use a central database for that sort of thing, much less getting them to enter prior publications, can be like herding cats, however. One thing that could make it easier; make any central repository compatible with RIS or BibTeX files so that researchers can export anything they have in a citation manager and load those prior publications en masse. One of the many things that is less than optimal about VIVO is that, when I used it, I had to enter publications, laboriously, one at a time.
