PIDs for Academic Librarians
Tuesday, June 4th
3.00pm – 4.30pm, Via Zoom
Admission: Free
The LIR mission is to keep librarians, academic librarians in particular, informed about technologies that affect their practice.
PIDs, or Persistent Identifiers, 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 National PID Strategy Working Group and the LIR Group. With the launch of the National PID Roadmap, this session aims to further contextualise 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

Aaron Binchy
Interim Project Manager of the National Open Access Monitor Project
As Ireland embarks on the next phase of the NORF National Action Plan for Open Research, it is crucial to understand the current state of Open Access (OA) in the country. The National Open Access Monitor, Ireland, represents a significant step in this direction. It marks an advancement in understanding and promoting Open Access research and scholarly publishing within Ireland. The National Open Access Monitor will be a dynamic and innovative platform designed to guide Ireland’s scholarly output towards 100% Open Access. Currently in its pilot phase , the Monitor is accessible at https://oamonitor.ireland.openaire.eu/.
Dr Lisa Griffith
Chair of NORF PID Strategy Working Group
As part of Ireland’s National Open Research Forum (NORF), the PID Strategy Working Group is delivering a National PID Strategy and Roadmap for Ireland for the next 3-5 years. It includes national-level objectives, recommendations and actions for key stakeholder groups, an implementation plan, and associated targets or indicators for monitoring progress. The review and analysis of the PID landscape will support the implementation of Ireland’s National Action Plan for Open Research 2022-2030, specifically in is action to “develop a national roadmap for the adoption of a range of Persistent Identifiers according to international best practice, such as ORCID, DOIs, RAiDs and ROR identifiers. Implement this roadmap to consolidate national coordination and accelerate the uptake and integration of priority identifiers.”
