NISO Training Thursday: Making Assessment Work: Using ORCIDs to Improve Your
Institutional Assessments
Given the recognized benefits of using unique identifiers in any digital environment, many academic teams are moving to acquire the necessary expertise required for capturing and integrating ORCID into their internal systems. This Training Thursday webinar will introduce attendees to specific use cases and implementations of the ORCID ID as a useful tool for precisely associating traditional and nontraditional output with the particular creator of that content.
Featured speakers include Alice Meadows, Director of Community Engagement and Support, ORCID, who will talk about ORCID's new Collect & Connect program. Collect & Connect aims to build trust in the research infrastructure by ensuring that ORCID IDs are embedded in key researcher workflows—grant and manuscript submission systems, research information management and profile systems, and more. Christopher Erdmann, Head Librarian, Wolbach Library, Harvard University, will talk about the adoption of ORCID identifiers in the context of a specific research community in close conjunction with a government agency, NASA. University of Michigan librarian Merle Rosenzweig will talk about her institution’s highly successful integration of ORCID in various units and web-based systems.

Supporting Research on Your Campus
Libraries serve as important conduits of research. Not only
is information about previous activities important, libraries also support
ongoing research activities through the provision of information resources,
repository activities, and information-management assistance to research teams.
In providing these services, academic libraries support the overall research
mission of many institutions and make the library more visible and valued in its
community.
This webinar will highlight some successful libraries that have integrated
their services into the research activities in their institutions. Speakers
will describe offering more than traditional library services to support
researchers, and how they have become more engaged in research activities
though the provision of tools, data, resources, and skills.
Featured speakers include Dr. Paul J. Bracke, Associate Dean, Research & Assessment, Purdue University; Dr. Greg Raschke, Associate Director for Collections and Scholarly Communication, North Carolina State University; and Kenning Arlitsch, Dean of the Library, Montana State University.
