If you do not know the appropriate authority path, contact your local NRS Administrator. Consult the NRS Status page to identify you local NRS Administrator.

Note: To work in a browser, the persistent identifier and its associated URL most both have an "active" status.

In the example below, the user has elected to have NRS assign a unique numeric value for the resource name by entering the URN mask field {n}.

The 'Copy' icon next to the link in the FULL URN field will copy the entire URN, with the resolver URL, to your clipboard, so it can be pasted in another place.

This URL was copied using that Copy icon:

http://nrs-qa.lib.harvard.edu/

URN-3:HUL.

TEST:

(If you are working with the QA/test version of the NRS Web Admin, use the NRS address http:// nrstest.harvard.edu/ instead.)

...

100001165

The Full URN should resolve to the URL you entered right away. (Though in some rare cases, it may not resolve until the next day.)
