US ISBN Agency - ISBN Assignments, SAN, Bookland EAN Bar Code Symbols, Technical Information and Advice
Welcome to the U.S. ISBN Agency, the official source for ISBNs in the United States.
R.R. Bowker is the U.S. ISBN Agency in the United States, responsible for assigning ISBNs as well as providing information and advice on the uses of the ISBN system to publishers and the publishing industry in general. R.R. Bowker is charged by the International ISBN Agency with the collection of bibliographic data on titles published in the U.S. This title data is found in the databases of Books in Print.
In addition, R.R. Bowker also serves as the SAN Agency (Standard Address Number for publishing industry shipping addresses), the ISMN Agency (International Standard Music Number for sheet music), the DOI Registration Agency (Digital Object Identifier), and offers EAN bar code services.
Note about 979 ISBNs
ISBNs beginning 979 will not be issued in the United States for at least several years until current inventories of ISBNs are depleted. When they are assigned, they will not replace those beginning with 978.
ISBNs beginning 978 and 979 will coexist in the book industry for a number of years.
978 ISBNs cannot be converted to 979 ISBNs.
979 ISBNs are not convertible to a 10-digit format and exist only in a 13-digit format.
