Perpustakaan Nasional Republik Indonesia (PNRI), Jakarta, Indonesia.

[The PNRI does not seem to carry a note of self-description. However, a Wikipedia entry [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Library_of_Indonesia] contains the following words: "The origins of the national library date back to the 1778 foundation of the Royal Batavian Society of Arts and Sciences, the first of its kind in Asia. [...] The library serves the entire Indonesian people and is primarily a humanities library. [...] Under the national library, Indonesia began its own International Standard Book Number and Cataloging in Publication programs. The library maintains bibliographies of the state ideology Pancasila and Javanese manuscripts. It also develops an an independent computer housekeeping system and implements the MARC standards. Both the United States Library of Congress and the National Library of Australia maintain regional offices in Jakarta." - ed.]
