Session Description:
Scholars are increasingly required to manage their online scholarly identity (SI) using digital tools and social networking sites (e.g., ORCID) to promote professional reputation and research impact. Cultivating an online presence is particularly pressing for individuals seeking tenure-track positions and career advancement. This interactive panel covers: How should (or could) academic librarians assist users who wish to build their SI? What services are currently offered? What opportunities, as well as concerns, surround this work? Panelists also provide information for librarian-scholars who manage their own online SI. Audience engagement opportunities include a hands-on activity, interactive online exercises, and group discussion.
