Dear Sir,
Nice to read your encouraging emails always, There are several questions in my mind in this regard as follows:
1. In India How many big/renowned Libraries are using ORCID compatible version of Dspace?
One can examine how MIT has added ORCID iDs to individual papers in their (huge) DSpace repository. There are many Indian librarians who have tremendous computing skills, e.g. Prof. A R D Prasad of ISI, B'lore, is not only known for computing skills but also an acknowledged expert in DSpace (right from its early days). LIS-Forum members could request him to organize a webinar on integration of ORCID with DSpace.
2. Librarians are taking efforts to upgrade their old and obsolete DSpace?
One does not need any external help to upgrading to the latest version of DSpace. Even if one needs, we have people like Dr Francis Jayakanth and Mr Muthu Madhan.
3. How many Librarians have their own ORCID ID's and they attempted to organize user education programme in their Institutes?
I do not have the statistics. But it takes only a few minutes to register with ORCID and it is absolutely free for individuals. Librarians could proactively encourage faculty and research students to register. 4. How many libraries are following the open access policy to global
visibility of their research output through DSpace/Eprint etc?
DST, DBT and CSIR have mandated that all publications resulting from their support must be deposited in OA repositories and CSIR-URDIP in Pune maintains national level repositories. But the compliance rate seems to be rather low. Unfortunately, the funding agencies are not taking any action. Here is an article Madhan and I wrote on ORCID many months ago: *http://eprints.library.iisc.ernet.in/56181/ http://eprints.library.iisc.ernet.in/56181/* Subbiah Arunachalam
I can say first Libraries in India needs to upgrade their technology and understand it, few peoples are keen to share their capability but more LIS professionals needs to be keen for getting the shared knowledge. We need more dedication to enhance our services which is lacking at present.
Above are my views only and i may be also lacking in above but always eager to share whatever i have !
With Regards,

Friends:
At MIT, Cambridge, MA, USA, ORCIDs are used now in DSpace for faculty, graduate students, postdocs & research staff so all their publications can be attributed to the right authors, retrieved easily and unambiguously.
Please see < http://libraries.mit.edu/news/orcids-dspace-faculty/25151/#. WRf_77gK-so.facebook
.
Please note that the work was done by the librarians.
This is a good model for us in India to adopt. What do you think/
