Leveraging the "Imagine" theme ... Imagine "a world in which all who participate in research, scholarship and innovation are uniquely identified and connected to their contributions and affiliations, across disciplines, borders, and time." This session will provide: * an overview of unique identifiers for people and objects; * highlight the ORCID service and provide an update on the Canadian ORCID consortium; * how ORCID's are being used within the institutional, funder, and publisher contexts; * how to create an ORCID for yourself; * how you might integrate with ORCID; At the end of the session participants will have a better understanding of persistent identifiers and ORCID specifically and how ORCIDs will have an impact on their work in libraries.
