Creating Your First PURL

There are 2 steps necessary to create your first PURL:
  1. Register as a user of this PURL resolver
    Only the registered users of a PURL resolver can create PURLs on it. Therefore, before you can create a PURL, you must register as a user of the PURL resolver on which you wish to create a PURL. To become a registered user of this PURL resolver, complete the user registration form.
    Although you may never need to use more than one PURL resolver, if you do you must register as a user of each different PURL resolver you use. Registering as a user of this resolver does not register you on any other resolvers. Sometimes, the registered users of a PURL resolver are called "locally registered users" or "local users" to emphasize this point.
  2. Create the PURL
    After you have become a registered user of a PURL resolver, you can create PURLs on it. To create a PURL on this PURL resolver, start by completing the Preliminary PURL creation form.
Once you have registered as a user and created your first PURL, you have mastered the essentials of using a PURL resolver. These and other interactive features of this resolver are available from its home page and all are used similarly.
