Subject: Libraries join International DOI Foundation

I'm pleased to announce that an informal consortium of three major
national libraries - The British Library (UK), Die Deutsche Bibliothek
(Germany) and the Koninklijke Bibliotheek (The Netherlands) - has joined
the International DOI Foundation.

IDF is delighted to welcome this group of leading libraries, and to have
their support for our work on a persistent and extensible identification
and metadata infrastructure for intellectual property.  Our recent work
with DOI applications and services will be of particular interest to the
library community.
