D-Lib Magazine: Publishing as the Honest Broker

Summary This paper describes the organization of material in D-Lib Magazine http://www.dlib.org, an online reference collection of pointers to sites containing resources in networked information and digital libraries, and a monthly, which addresses developments in advanced research and implementation projects in digital libraries and related topics. The importance of persistent, location-independent identifiers (or names) is discussed primarily from the perspectives of information organization and the associated issues in cataloging resources in the MARC environment.
