The International Standard Book Number (ISBN) is an international number specially used to identify books and other documents.
ISO promulgated the ISBN international standard in 1972, and set up the international ISBN center in the Prussian Library in West Berlin, which is the management institution for implementing the standard.
At present, publications using ISBN coding system include: books, pamphlets, microforms, Braille printed matter, etc.
Before June 65438+1 October1in 2007, ISBN consisted of 10 digits, which were divided into four parts: group number (code of country, region and language), publisher number, book number and inspection code.
The new ISBN has been implemented since June 65438+1 October1. The new ISBN consists of 13 digits and is divided into five sections, that is, the 3-digit EAN (European Commodity Number) book product code "978" is added before the original 10 digit.
ISBN can be used as the retrieval field of online bibliography, thus adding a retrieval way for users.
With the rise of mobile internet, various second-hand trading platforms are becoming more and more popular, and idle fish is one of them, which has spawned a number of businesses selling books on idle fish.
There is a good demand for selling books on idle fish, but selling books without ISBN bar code will be considered illegal by idle fish, so what if there is no bar code?
There are two solutions. The first is to scan the ISBN code of a book at will. Secondly, the ISBN barcode can be generated by the ISBN barcode generator.
