MOSAIC — Mapping Our Scholarly Achievements in a Connected Institution

Project MOSAIC is a university-wide initiative focused on harnessing the full potential of Elsevier's Pure research information management system to surface, connect, and celebrate the breadth of scholarly activity happening across campus. Just as a mosaic transforms individual tiles into a cohesive and vivid picture, this project brings together faculty profiles, research outputs, grants, collaborations, and institutional affiliations into a unified view of the university's academic identity.
At the heart of Project MOSAIC is the university library, serving as the connective tissue between researchers, administrators, and the data systems that support them. Librarians play a pivotal role in curating and enriching faculty profiles, ensuring that the relational value embedded within Pure — the links between people, projects, publications, and outcomes — is visible, accurate, and meaningful.
The project aims to demonstrate how intentional data management within Pure can drive better decision-making, strengthen grant reporting, reveal hidden interdisciplinary connections, and tell a more complete story of institutional impact. By treating each faculty record not as an isolated entry but as a living tile in a larger mosaic, the university can better understand where it has been, where it is now, and where it is going.
