Dudley Knox Library - Dudley Knox Library
Did you know?
The Dudley Knox Library is introducing author persona records in Calhoun: The NPS Institutional Archive. This is a new feature designed to make Naval Postgraduate School (NPS) scholarly work easier to find, explore, and connect with contributors.
Each persona record brings together an individual’s publications available in Calhoun through a single access point. Records may include an author’s published works as well as their contributions as a thesis advisor or second reader. This approach helps users discover the full range of an individual’s scholarly activity, even when publications reflect variations of the author’s name.
Persona records also include departmental and organizational affiliations and can be further enhanced upon request to include biographical descriptions, and persistent identifiers such as ORCID iDs, Google Scholar profiles, and professional website links. These details can improve the visibility, accuracy, and discoverability of scholarly output across Calhoun and other research platforms.
In publication records, contributors who have linked persona records will appear as blue hyperlinks, much like the existing links for series, departments, and organizations. Selecting a contributor’s linked name will take the user directly to that person’s persona record.
This is an ongoing initiative. Most persona records have already been created for current NPS-affiliated academic faculty with publications in Calhoun, and work is continuing to link each record to all applicable publications. As new works are added to Calhoun, associated authors, advisors, and second readers will be linked to persona records where applicable.
The project is intended to provide the NPS academic community with a clearer, more complete view of institutional scholarship and faculty contributions. Users may notice that some persona records are still incomplete while publication relationships are being added.
If you are interested in enhancing your persona record or associated publications, please contact us at npscalhoun@nps.edu.
