Question

What is the full form of ISBN?

Answer 1

ISBN’s full form is International Standard Book Number. An ISBN is a unique number given to every book around the world. The ISBN is an identifier and does not convey any form of legal or copyright protection.

• Since 1 January 2007 ISBNs always consist of 13 digits. ISBNs were 10 digits in length up to the end of December 2006.
• The ISBN identifies the registrant as well as the format, edition, and specific title.
• On most books, the ISBN number can be found on the back cover, next to the barcode.
• An ISBN is essentially a product identifier used by libraries, internet retailers, booksellers, publishers, and other supply chain participants for stock control, listing, sales records, and ordering purposes.
