Checking and Updating your Author Profile in Scopus
In Scopus, each author is assigned a unique number, the Scopus Author Identifier that allows publications by the same author to be grouped together. However, being a mere computer algorithm, sometimes not all your publications will be listed under the one unique author profile. To fix this you can request Scopus to merge all your publications into the one author profile.
The process is straightforward, in Scopus, do an "author search" (use the "author search" tag to do this) using your last name and initials or first name. This will return a set of possible author results grouped together under single identifier numbers on the basis of an algorithm. Select from the listed author sets those that are indeed you. When you have completed your selections, click on "Request to merge authors" on the top/bottom of the "author results" page, and follow the instructions.
If you have any queries or problems contact your librarian for assistance.

Friends of Fryer event: Welcome to Normal
UQ Library and the Friends of Fryer hosted National Year of Reading Ambassador Nick Earls on 8 August.
Our new University Librarian, American Robert Gerrity opened the event, mentioning Earls's new book Welcome to Normal as a timely supplement to his current list of must-read Australian literature.
Simon Groth of the Institute of the Future of the Book Australia led Nick Earls in a discussion of the book. Earls chatted about his inspiration for several of the short stories, including a delightful tale that featured his parents, a B&B in Andalusia, and the heart of a 14th-century Scottish king. (This story also features over at Nick Earls's blog.)
The pair also talked about the usefulness of Google Maps in the writing process, and considered ebooks and the opportunities this creates for publishing short stories. The event concluded with a well-attended book signing and light lunch.
