Introducing ORCID

---------------------------- Original Message ---------------------------- From: "Subbiah Arunachalam" <subbiah.arunachalam(a)gmail.com> Date: Fri, May 19, 2017 1:28 pm -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Friends: Recently, there has been some discussion on ORCID in this Forum. There is some good news which arrived last evening when the ORCID team and the Board and invitees were having dinner in a crowded restaurant in Stockholm after two days of deliberations on matters of importance to ORCID. *Science* (AAAS) has carried a cover story (reproduced below) on ORCID. All of us at the dinner were happy that ORCID was not only discussed in *Science *but it also made to the cover page. Surely this will prove to be a shot in the arm for ORCID. You may read the full article at, http://science.sciencemag.org/content/356/6339/691 Best wishes. Arun http://orcid.org/0000-0002-4398-4658 http://www.researcherid.com/rid/B-9925-2009

Dear all, I am very pleased to announce that e-LIS, eprints in Library and Information Science at <http://eprints.rclis.org/> has been recently migrated to a new hosting institution. the "Federico II" University of Naples (Italy). Founded in 1224, this University is the oldest 'state' university in the world. Since 2003, it promotes Open Access to results from scientific research and favors the sharing and growth of scientific knowledge. Under the imprint "FedOA. Federico II Open Access University Press", the CAB (Center for Libraries at "Federico II" University) delivers Open Access to academic articles, books and research data through the institutional repository and the platforms for scientific journals and e-books series. The "Federico II" University of Naples also provides support to international disciplinary repositories, such as RM Open Archive, a very relevant Open Access scholarly repository, which covers the whole range of medieval studies, and now E-LIS, the most important Open Archive for Library and Information Science. e-LIS will continue providing all its services (and some new very soon!). Don't hesitate to contact as elis.repository(a)gmail.com for any doubt or suggestion! And let us not forget that e-LIS will be celebrating its 15th anniversary soon!

Hello sir, Thank you for the awareness you brought to us. Best wishes, Yesan Sellan Chief Librarian SAIACS Bangalore On 17 May 2017 7:44 p.m., "vinod mishra" <mishravk79(a)gmail.com> wrote: Dear Sir, Thanks for your motivations, actually i have bitter experience when i took initiative to upgrade one of the oldest DSpace (1.2) at NIT Rourkela implemented by Mr. Madhan it was very difficult and lot of pressure from admin because of obsolete server of DSpace and other issues. I floated message on forums to help in this regard on TA/DA and honorarium basis but did not get a single reply. However I do not know why but Mr. Madhan keep trust on me and encouraged to try because i can do it hence i tried and within 03 month of pain i could able to do it with learning so many new things in DSpace and now when i am eager to assist people hardly anybody eager to take interest because they might have never thought of new features of DSpace like ORCID, discovery tool, embargo, integration of Romeo/Sherpa etc. It indicates we library professionals are either not aware about these concepts or do now wish to enhance their services beneficial for their own sustainability in all respect. I am very happy to see many Senior professionals still took lot of initiatives and always encourage peoples, but still lot of lacking in providing good technical and managerial leadership at the same time young people also did not have much dedication to uplift LIS profession but they are much busy in uplift themselves anyhow and compromise with basic responsibility assigned to them for which they are already getting handsome salary and i may not be the exception. Thanking You. With Regards, Vinod Kumar Mishra, Assistant Librarian, Biju Patnaik Central Library (BPCL), NIT Rourkela, Sundergadh-769008, Odisha, India.
