2 | Decide which digital objects will be assigned persistent identifiers. See NRS frequently asked questions for more information. | Â |
3 | Determine the authority path you will need to use. See Finding an Authority Pathfor more information. If path does not yet exist, request that your local administrator create it. | Â |
