This webinar explains recent technical changes to the way in which Australian organisations will get DOIs through the ARDC national infrastructure. 
The ARDC offers minting of Digital Object Identifiers (DOIs) for research data and related materials free of charge to the Australian research sector via our DOI service. This service is provided in partnership with DataCite, the global DOI consortium providing DOIs for research data and other research objects.
Until recently, ARDC DOI service users have logged into local ARDC systems to mint DOIs, and ARDC has registered these DOIs with the global DataCite systems.
The new central DataCite Fabrica system now offers the same functionality as the old ARDC DOI client service built ten years ago. ARDC is transitioning all our DOI clients from local ARDC systems  to the central DataCite systems.  
This webinar is an opportunity to understand and discuss the changes to the DOI Service and how you might be impacted. The webinar will provide an overview of  the new DataCite Fabrica system.  Attendees will also learn how to get support from ARDC and DataCite.
