Libraries provide hundreds of online research guides that point you to tools for all of your research and information handling needs – from finding information to citing sources and publishing the information you created. Some guides are specific to a software product, course or discipline, while others cover a broad range of resources. This month’s featured guide, Digital Literacy, is a collection of links and tips on finding and evaluating information in digital environments. There is information on how to use online technologies to stay current, organize your citations, files and data, and how to create and publish digital content, as well as how to network and collaborate effectively, protect your online identity, and how to be an ethical and responsible digital citizen.

What is digital literacy?
Digital literacy is "a person's ability to perform tasks effectively in a digital environment... Literacy includes the ability to read and interpret media, to reproduce data and images through digital manipulation, and to evaluate and apply new knowledge gained from digital environments. While these abilities enhance all aspects of your life, this Guide focuses on the application of digital literacy to your academic career and future employment. Image source: Digital Literacy Forum.

A researcher’s name isn’t enough to reliably identify the author of, or contributor to, a paper published in a scientific journal or a dataset uploaded to a repository. Many researchers share the same name, while others have different names during their career, or different variations of the same one. For example, A. Smith, Anna Smith, and Anna L. Smith could all refer to the same person. But a unique identifier, as provided by ORCID, which researchers can associate with their name variations and their research works, is a way to ensure that these links can be made accurately and reliably. This will help A. Smith to get credit for her publications by uniquely identifying her as the author of her work across all systems integrated with the ORCID registry.
