The Open Research and Contributor ID (ORCID) has announced a forthcoming webinar on Libraries, Researchers and ORCID. This webinar will explore the ways that libraries can support researchers in creating and using their ORCID iDs. The webinar will be held on October 30th, at 0800 (New York), 1300 (London, Lisbon), 1400 (Paris, Warsaw), 1900 (Beijing), 2000 (Tokyo).
Speakers include: Gail Clement (Texas A&M); Ellen Cole (Northumbria University); and Merle Rosenzweig (University of Michigan).
Together, they will explore the ways that libraries can reach out to specific groups of researchers (from graduate students to senior faculty), how to package information into guides that give answers to researchers' most common questions, and how to win support for the ORCID initiative across the campus community. Participants will have a chance to hear about the excellent work being done by the speakers in engaging, informing and guiding their communities, and to benefit from the lessons they have learned, their successes, and the challenges they encountered.
Interested parties may register for the webinar now, at: https://attendee.gotowebinar.com/register/381273611074722305. A recording of the webinar will be made available shortly after for those of you who cannot join on the day.
