URN:NBN NETWORK

The URN:NBN Network was established in 2024 as a discussion forum for national libraries using the National Bibliography Number persistent identifier. The network aims to:

Enhance visibility and knowledge of URN:NBNs

Provide a peer support platform for URN:NBN providers

Work together for sustained use of URN:NBNs

Promote the use of URN:NBNs as a persistent identifier


URN:NBN providers wishing to join the network will find the relevant information on the contact page.

Network Membership

Organisations operating as URN:NBN providers may join the network as members.

While the network focuses on the use and visibility of URN:NBNs, URN providers of other namespaces are welcome to join the network as observers. Interested parties are also welcome to join the network’s mailing list.

The network meetings are run by a chair from a member organisation. The meeting agendas are also publicly available.
