Depending on your exact needs, you might require an institutional ORCID membership as the API capabilities are different. We're looking at using ORCID for institutional purposes now. There are two factors I can't wrap my mind around: 1. Identifying ORCID IDs associated with the institution. It appears this requires individual researchers to formally make and and break associations 2. Maintenance of the list of publications itself also requires affirmative action on the part of the researcher or member institution acting on their behalf In other words, we'd need all our researchers and faculty to individually do extra work and change the way they do things to meet the needs of the system, and I see no basis for believing this is a reasonable thing to expect. kyle
