ISBN Full Form
ISBN Full form is the International Standard Book Number and is a numeric commercial book identifier intended toward being unique. Publishers purchase ISBNs from an International ISBN Agency after which they are assigned to each separate edition and variation of a publication. For example, the hard-bound version, e-book, and a paperback edition of the same book will each have a different ISBN code. It will be ten digits long if it was assigned before 2007, and thirteen digits long if done so on or after the 1st of January 2007. The method of assigning an ISBN is specific to a nation and varies according to the country, often depending on how large the publishing industry is within that country. The initial ISBN identification format was created back in 1967, based on the 9-digit Standard Book Numbering which was created in 1966. The 10-digit ISBN format was later developed by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO). It was published in 1970 as international standard ISO 2108. To convert a 9-digit SBN code to a 10-digit ISBN, all that needs to be done is prefix the same with a zero digit ‘0’. Privately published books may sometimes come without an ISBN and they are sometimes assigned so by the International ISBN Agency on its own initiative. Another identifier, the International Standard Serial Number (ISSN), is used to identify periodical publications such as newspapers and magazines. The International Standard Music Number, abbreviated to ISMN, covers musical scores.
