Building a Culture of Strategic Risk-taking in a Science Library: Creating Psychological Safety and Embracing Failure

Academic librarians and library managers are always exploring new ways to empower their team to provide the best services to the entire research community. This requires organizations to take innovative approaches to new ideas as well as existing services and initiatives. With innovation, acertain amount of strategic risk has to be involved, but how much is too much? More importantly, how do you create a culture where people feel free to take risks and, sometimes, fail? These columns explore those questions as a case study of the Dirac Science Library at Florida State University

Persistent Unique Identifiers for Instruments and Facilities

Persistent Identifiers (PIDs) such as ORCID (for researchers) and DOIs (for publications and datasets) have become widespread and accepted within academia. There is, as of yet, no standard for using identifiers for scientific instruments and facilities. This session will discuss the progress of an NSF FAIR Open Science Research Coordination Network-funded project including the reasons for using PIDs for facilities and instruments, the challenges that will be faced in pushing for their widespread adoption, and incentives that might encourage researchers and staff to use them.</p
