internationally accepted number code used in the cataloging of books
International Standard Book Number
The International Standard Book Number, ISBN, is a unique
commercial book identifier barcode. The ISBN system was created in the
United Kingdom, in
1966, by the booksellers and stationers
W.H. Smith. Originally, it was the 9-digit Standard Book Numbering (SBN)
code and still was used in
1974; it was adopted as the international standard
ISO 2108 in 1970. A similar, numeric identifier, the
International Standard Serial Number (ISSN), identifies periodical publications such as
magazines. Since
January 1,
2007, ISBNs are of 13 digits, like in
Bookland EAN-13. The
TC 46/SC 9 is responsible for the standard.
