Middlab Event: Managing Your Scholarly Identity

Our May MiddLab Coffee Break is focused on the topic of managing your scholarly identity. A digital scholarly ID is a unique code that distinguishes you from other authors with a similar name, and allows you to link your scholarly activity across your career. Managing your scholarly identifiers also helps you to curate your digital self and help other researchers find your work. Librarians Leanne Galletly and Wendy Shook will discuss the value of creating your ID, provide an overview of digital identity platforms like ORCiD, SCOPUS, and Google Scholar, and demonstrate how to create an account with ORCiD. As always, we want this to be a community discussion, so please bring your projects, questions, and concerns.

This virtual meeting is part of our MiddLab Coffee Break series. These meetings* are hosted by MiddLab, with co-sponsorship from the Library, ITS, DLINQ, and the MiddData initiative. MiddLab is a cross-campus hub for librarians, technologists, and other specialists who support digital projects, digital scholarship, and other technology-based research needs.

The MiddLab Coffee Break series is a monthly meeting of those interested in digital academia to meet for the discussion, sharing, and questioning of a variety of topics important to our community. These meetings will be facilitated by MiddLab members, along with guest experts from across the Middlebury community.
