The ISNI allows a single identity (such as an author's pseudonym or the imprint used by a publisher) to be identified using a unique number. ISNI can be used by libraries and archives when sharing catalogue information; for more precise searching for information online and in databases, and it can aid the management of rights across national borders and in the digital environment. As of 5 August 2017[update] ISNI holds public records of over 9.41 million identities, including 8.757 million people (of which 2.606 million are researchers) and 654,074 organisations.[19] "Encoding the International Standard Name Identifier (ISNI) in the MARC 21 Bibliographic and Authority Formats".
