Start Date

Description
In January 2018, a unique partnership launched amongst four United States (US) consortia -- the Big Ten Academic Alliance, Greater Western Library Alliance (GWLA), NorthEast Research Libraries (NERL), and LYRASIS -- to form a national-level ORCID community. Any US research organization can now join as an institutional member at the premium consortium level for the lowest possible cost. Additionally, participating institutions will fund a dedicated staff position, the ORCID Community Specialist, housed at LYRASIS, to support and build a robust, sustainable, national community. This talk will highlight the new partnership, the benefits of premium consortium membership, and particular ORCID integration features for institutional repositories.
