We hope the following videos will help institutions get started with creating ISNIs, and answer questions for those that are already working with ISNIs. Please note the following:
- Most of the content in the following videos is based on Getting started with ISNI and the ISNI web interface. Please refer to the first two sections (What is ISNI? and What is an ISNI?) for helpful background that is not covered in the videos.
- For further information about the topics covered, please refer to Getting started with ISNI and the ISNI web interface and the documents annotated in magenta on the ISNI documentation page.
- Please post questions to the Participant questions (Google doc: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1HiSMXy0XdBWcM3INXnZkwcAMnRZnDp0snuVaxH5ILeg/edit)
- Many thanks to Mary Jane Cuneo and Karen Carlson Young for their invaluable expertise, and to Michael Beckett for his ace video technical skills.
