Session title: Everything Old is New Again... ISBN and ISSN
Presenters: OCLC Western staff; Reginal Romano Reynolds, US ISSN Center
Additional presenters to be announced
Audience: All libraries, Introductory
Objectives: Participants will be made aware of coming changes planned for the ISSN and ISBN and how these changes will impact cataloging and acquisitions workflow. Participants will also learn how major bibliographic utilities like OCLC are implementing policies for the changes. Participants will learn strategies from other libraries on planning for these changes.
Description: The ISBN is being expanded from 10 digits to 13! Any day now, you could see these ISBN "pairs" in books and bibliographic records, so it is not too soon to understand and to plan for change. The ISSN standard is also under international revision in response to the changing electronic environment of serials and integrating resources. These changes will impact cataloging and acquisitions departments in all kinds of libraries, join us to learn what strategies your library can use to get ready.
