This panel represents a cross-section of institutions using ARK persistent identifiers. The session will include a year-one update on the ARKs-in-the-Open initiative (CDL/LYRASIS) and its novel approach to sustainability. Find out from the community how over 550 registered institutions have created 3.2 billion ARKs, and how this full-featured, non-paywalled identifier is steadily growing in popularity.
