<Title>ORCID integration with Digital Measures</Title>
<Body>
<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content">
    <p>We’re pleased to announce that UMBC faculty can now import publications from ORCID into Digital Measures (DM)! </p>
    <p>ORCID is a non-profit organization dedicated to connecting research and researchers. ORCID provides persistent digital identifiers that researchers own and control for sharing information with other systems, ensuring proper attribution and recognition for scholarly output, and saving time and hassle. Over 1,000 organizations, many of them universities and research institutions, participate as consortial members in ORCID. </p>
    
    <p>This new integration with Digital Measures (DM) was made possible as part of UMBC’s ORCID membership which took effect on March 1, 2021. UMBC faculty members updating the Intellectual Contributions section of their DM profiles can now select ORCID from the list of third party services offering imported citations. We know faculty maintain records in many online systems and we’re pleased to be able to provide this as an option for saving time. 
    </p>
    
    <p>Instructions are available on the Library’s website: <a href="https://lib.guides.umbc.edu/c.php?g=1047837&amp;p=7604167#s-lg-box-26854360" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">https://lib.guides.umbc.edu/c.php?g=1047837&amp;p=7604167#s-lg-box-26854360</a> </p>
    
    <p>Should you have any questions, please feel free to contact Michelle Flinchbaugh, Digital Scholarship Services Librarian, at <a href="mailto:flinchba@umbc.edu" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">flinchba@umbc.edu</a>
    
    </p>
    <p>Please note that UMBC does not require the creation of an ORCID account nor connection with DM for those who already have ORCID accounts and prefer to keep them separate. For those interested in learning more about ORCID before getting started, the <a href="https://lib.guides.umbc.edu/c.php?g=1047837" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">library website</a> and <a href="https://support.orcid.org/hc/en-us" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">ORCID’s own website</a> contain a wealth of information on features, <a href="https://info.orcid.org/privacy-policy/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">privacy</a>, <a href="https://support.orcid.org/hc/en-us/articles/360006897574" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">security</a>, and <a href="https://support.orcid.org/hc/en-us/articles/360006897614" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">researcher control over data</a>. </p>

<Title>UMBC Partners with Care@Work to Provide Care Options</Title>
<Tagline>Do you have a UMBC GA-ship? This may be for you</Tagline>

<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content">
    <div><span>As part of UMBC’s efforts to assist with a smooth fall return to campus for staff, faculty, and graduate assistants (GAs) we have partnered with Care@Work to provide extended options for childcare, eldercare, petcare, and a host of other services. <br></span></div>
    <div><span>Care@Work connects families and caregivers. It offers a flexible platform — available on mobile, desktop, and in the iPhone and Android app stores. Care@Work provides eligible employees (regular staff and faculty, Contingent II staff, and GAs) with tools to help make informed hiring decisions whenever and wherever care needs arise. With UMBC’s <strong>free Premium Membership</strong>, eligible staff, faculty, and GAs can post a caregiver request and browse through active caregivers on the site, use the Safety Center, receive newsletters filled with tips and advice, and access the wealth of care-related content in the online community. Eligible employees and GAs also have access to view full profiles and reviews, contact caregivers, purchase background checks, subsidized backup care (tiered copay schedule), and tuition discounts at participating childcare centers.<br></span></div>
    <div><span>We encourage eligible employees and GAs to visit the <a href="https://t.e2ma.net/click/fihuvg/bvckdbc/v2zay5" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">UMBC Care at Work website</a> to review program enrollment and available resources.
