Notification form for requesting persistent identifiers

The National Library of Australia offers this service to indexing agencies anywhere in the world for the archiving and assignment of persistent identifiers to Australian Internet publications. The persistent identifier is a special type of permanent URL that is managed so that it remains accessible. The intention is to ensure that links included in indexes and abstracts remain permanently viable. With the permission of the publisher, the Library will copy into PANDORA, Australia's Web Archive, any Australian Internet publication that is being indexed and will provide a persistent identifier for insertion into the citation.

More detailed guidelines for requesting a persistent identifier are available at http://www.nla.gov.au/pandora/guidelines.html
