| contents | Striking Thirteen: Librarians, Publishers, and Book Vendors Better Have Their Eyes Wide Open for the Changes to Come with the New ISBN-13 Breaux, Ann-Marie Dawson, Laura Vendors Libraries Publishing Industry Books Cataloging Standards Change Library Services Library Administration The most elemental identifier of a book is the international standard book number (ISBN). It allows publishers, booksellers, and libraries to label works in a consistent way and to distinguish not only among different titles but also among different versions of the same title, such as newer editions, various bindings, audio products, and electronic versions. This article discusses the proposed change from ISBN-10 to ISBN-13. The two main reasons cited are: 1) to make more ISBNs available, and 2) to conform better to worldwide product numbering systems. Libraries are not immune to the changes that ISBN-13 will bring to the book world. For the most part, everything will continue normally--that is, until a book is published with a 979-prefix ISBN-13. At that point, any deficiencies in library, book vendor, or systems software quickly will become apparent. Librarians must become educated about the transition and be sure that their vendors are prepared. Making a thorough inventory of where ISBNs affect the systems and workflows, and partnering closely with book vendors to address the change, will help ease the transition.
