Where to get helpHarvard University Library Office for Information SystemsUsing ERNIE to create a URN for E-resources1. IntroductionERNIE – Electronic Resource Naming InterfacE – allows librarians to add, update and delete Uniform Resource Names1 (URNs) in three NRS Authority paths: hul.eresources, hul.ebook, and hul.eother:- hul.eresources is intended for free or licensed resources that are available to Harvard University users and will likely be listed in E-Research- hul.ebook is intended for single ebooks or collections of ebooks that are too small to handle through the ebook batch process- hul.eother is intended for Harvard library created resources, such as research guidesERNIE also allows participating libraries to create URNS for e-bookplates that appear in HOLLIS:- hul.ebkplt is intended for links to e-bookplate thumbnails in DRS (participating libraries only) - hul.ebkpll is intended for links to either full size e-bookplate images in DRS, OR to library-maintained donor recognition pages (participating libraries only)This documentation describes the process for adding, updating and deleting URNs for E-resources.1 A URN is a way to publish a link to a resource that allows a change to be made to the URL without having to send out a new link. For example, if free resource becomes restriced, the URL for that resource will change.January 13, 2019- President and Fellows of Harvard College http://hul.harvard.edu/ois/systems/erm/docs/e-resource_urns.pdfUsing ERNIE to create a URN for E-resources Page 2 of 82. Create a new URN for E-resources1. Open ERNIE in a browser: http://wally.hul.harvard.edu:8000/ernie/ernie.html2. Choose Status New, choose Type E-resource and enter the Unique ID for the resource. A Unique ID can be a one word description of the resource. The example below shows a complete form for creating a URN for a list of research guides in E-research. The Unique ID for this resource is pubmed.3. If this is a licensed resource (restricted to the Harvard community), leave the box checked for HUID/PIN required. If not, uncheck the box. The box is checked by default.4. Enter the URL for the resource.5.

An example of an update is a change in an E-resource’s URL.The following is an example of how to update an E-resource due to a change in the URL:1. Locate the current URN for this E-resource. For example: http://nrs.harvard.edu/urn-3:hul.eresource:pubmed2. Fill out the form on ERNIE by changing the status to Update, the Type to E-resource, andthen add the Unique ID. The Unique ID is found on the existing URN and is made up of the remaining characters that appear AFTER the final colon (:) in the URN. In the above example, pubmed is the Unique ID.3. Enter the new URL in the URL field.4. Change the HUID/PIN required? checkbox as needed. The box is checked by default.5.
