ORCID: Make sure your publications are associated
with YOU, not that other Bob Smith!
Over the next several months you will be hearing a lot more about ORCID
(Open Researcher and Contributor ID). ORCID is a unique persistent alpha-
numeric identifier assigned to an academic author that ensures the
author’s contributions are attributed correctly. It also assures continuity
across institutions. Penn State University is now an institutional member of
ORCID.
It is often difficult to accurately identify a particular author’s scientific
output because personal names are not unique. Generally it requires a
significant amount of manipulation to retrieve a reasonably accurate
publication list for a particular author from multiple electronic databases.
Some of the problems encountered include:
Faculty need to be able to easily attach their identity to all types of
research outputs. These can include journal articles, datasets,
equipment, citations, experiments, patents, notebooks, and various
types of media. As it becomes the de facto norm to collaborate across
disciplines, institutions, and internationally, faculty must interact with an
increasing number of disparate research information systems. ORCID
can help you with this. ORCID has two main functions: “(1) a registry to
obtain a unique identifier and manage a record of activities, and (2)
APIs that support system-to-system communication and
authentication.“ (http://orcid.org/content/initiative)
The ORCID community is expanding rapidly. It includes individual re-
searchers/faculty, universities, national laboratories, national science

agencies, commercial research organizations, funders, publishers, data repositories, and international
professional societies. Funding organizations like the NIH and Wellcome Trust are requesting ORCID iDs
during grant submission. Publishers, such as Elsevier, are beginning to require ORCID iD’s when
submitting a manuscript. ORCID iD’s are being incorporated into society membership renewals and
integrated into full-text databases. Many institutions, like Boston University, are now creating ORCID iD’s
for their faculty, postdocs, and graduate students. We encourage you to obtain your free ORCID iD.

Page 3 Volume 5, Issue 4
The Harrell Health Sciences Library held the fourth annual READ Poster Recognition Award
Ceremony on October 9th 2014. This award is designed to recognize individuals who are, and
have been, strong supporters of the library. A committee of faculty and staff, both from within
and outside the library, selected the honorees.
Each READ honoree was photographed with a book of their choice to create a READ
poster. These posters will remain on display in the library until the next annual cycle and will
also be displayed electronically on a library webpage. Visit the READ award’s webpage for
more information.
We are very excited to recognize the 2014 group of READ honorees:
Tammi Bortner, BSN, RN, Program Manager for the Resuscitation Science Training
Center

The Harrell Health Sciences Library will host the National Library of Medicine traveling
exhibit, Against The Odds: Making a Difference In Global Health. This exhibit examines
stories of the community groups that are making a difference in global health around the
world. People are working on a wide range of issues—from community health to conflict,
disease to discrimination. This exhibit will be on display December 22nd, 2014 through
January 31st,2015.

Learning Anatomy?
Anatomy.TV, Acland’s Video Atlas of Human Anatomy, and Netter Reference can all be
found on the HHSL’s new online Anatomy Resource Guide. The guide also features popular
anatomy e-books and a link to the HHSL’s anatomy books on reserve.
Anatomy.TV is an anatomy learning tool
available through Penn State University
Libraries and the Harrell Health Sciences
Library. This title was recommended by
teaching faculty, and a subscription was
purchased in 2013. This subscription can
be used for medical, nursing, allied health,
and biomechanical engineering education,
as well as anyone interested in learning
anatomy.
Anatomy.TV allows users to explore regional
anatomy with a 3D model, compare model
structures with real MR Images, and test
their knowledge with built in quizzes. A large
collection of videos and dissection slides
accompany the 3D model to enhance learn-
ing. Course instructors are free to save and
download videos and images to include in
educational presentations and assignments.
ScholarSphere, Penn State’s institutional repository service, is excited to announce the
launch of a major update that will make it easier than ever for Penn State faculty,
researchers, and students to upload, preserve, manage, and share their scholarly work in
the free digital repository. **ScholarSphere should not be used for datasets and projects
containing identifiable patient information.**
The service gives the Penn State community a secure way to share its work with a larger
audience by providing users with persistent URLs for their documents and datasets so that
they can easily be linked to when applying for research grants or submitting an article for
publication.
The new ScholarSphere site introduces a more intuitive interface and an enhanced user
dashboard, as well as several new features including file analytics on your documents, a
featured works and researcher section, and integration with Box at Penn State–additions
which will hopefully help you increase the reach and impact of your work.
To learn more about ScholarSphere, the launch of the new interface, and how to find help with the ser-
vice, visit http://sites.psu.edu/librarynews/2014/09/22/scholarsphere-launches-new-interface-and-
features/.

Clinical Translation App: Canopy Penn State Hershey students, faculty, and staff are invited
to download a medical translation app that is being made
available to our institution free of charge by the vendor.
Canopy Medical Translator allows you to choose a language
such as Spanish, Chinese, Arabic, and more, then choose a
specialty. It offers many choices of healthcare professionals’
commonly used phrases for various procedures such as “I
need to listen to your heart.” There are phrases for emergen-
cy medicine, internal medicine, surgery, and obstetrics/
gynecology. Select a phrase, and the app “speaks” it for you
through your device’s audio. Watch the video here.
Canopy Medical Translator is supported by the NIH.
