Nevertheless the links persisted: Preserving access with persistent identifiers

This session of Metadata Matters will discuss persistent identifiers. Attendees will gain a basic understanding of what persistent identifiers are and how they can benefit researchers and resource managers alike. The presentation will cover the fundamentals of how persistent identifiers work, discuss common identifier systems, and will describe how persistent identifiers are used by the library and the role Metadata Services plays in creating and maintaining them.
