本文发表在 rolia.net 枫下论坛There are some books of published in China cann't be located from bookshops outside China, by their ISBN number. Anyone has such knowledge what is going on with Chinese/ other countries ISBN system?
PS: quote:
"The International Standard Book Number, or ISBN, is a unique, numeric commercial book identifier based upon the 9-digit Standard Book Numbering (SBN) code created by Gordon Foster, now Emeritus Professor of Statistics at Trinity College, Dublin,for the booksellers and stationers W.H. Smith and others in 1966.
The 10-digit ISBN format was developed by the International Organization for Standardization and was published in 1970 as international standard ISO 2108. (However, the 9-digit SBN code was used in the United Kingdom until 1974.) Currently, the ISO’s TC 46/SC 9 is responsible for the ISBN.
Since 1 January 2007, ISBNs have contained 13 digits, a format that is compatible with Bookland EAN-13s.
A similar numeric identifier, the International Standard Serial Number (ISSN), identifies periodical publications such as magazines."更多精彩文章及讨论,请光临枫下论坛 rolia.net
