UBC Library understands the value of persistent identifiers (PIDs) in facilitating long-lasting digital reference to an object, contributor, or organization. UBC offers supports and services for many types of PIDs. 

Learn more on the Persistent Identifier guide about author, object, and institutional level identifiers. 

Certain UBC departments are eligible to request UBC ISBN's from the Library for departmental publications. Visit the ISBN request form for more details about this service.
