PIDs for Academic Librarians

A PID, or a Persistent Identifier, are long-lasting, globally unique identifiers for people (researchers), places (research organisations), and things (research outputs and grants).

PIDs for Academic Libraries is a collaboration between the NORF PID Strategy Working Group and the LIR Group. With the launch of the National PID Roadmap, this session aims to further contextualize PIDs for academic librarians. Broad themes will include:

• An introduction to the National PID Roadmap
• PIDs in the context of the National Open Access Monitor Project
• PIDs in the context of the OSTrails Project
