  1. Charting a Course to ISBN-13 “If a man does not know what port he is steering for, no wind is favorable to him.” - Seneca Jim Morlock, Pearson Education Melanie McDaniel, Harcourt Education

  2. The Seas, Shoals, and Shallows Through Which We Must Navigate

  3. Standards adoption is voluntary: There is no law or regulation requiring trading partners to adopt ISBN-13. Each organization must decide whether, when and how to adopt ISBN-13. Organizations adopt standards because they provide an efficient predefined way to transact business with trading partners.

  4. Readiness to adopt ISBN-13 will vary by trading partner: Early Adopters – ready now On Time Adopters – ready by January 2007 Delayed Adopters – not ready by 2007 Non Adopters – not planning to change

  5. ISBN-10s are not going away : ISBN-10s exist on millions of books in print. Substantial inventories of books with ISBN-10s exist in publisher warehouses and in the supply chain. Many publishers have substantial supplies of unassigned ISBN-10s. Some publishers will continue using ISBN-10s to identify their booksuntil they are satisfied the marketplace has completed the transition to ISBN-13.

  6. Navigating the Way to a Successful Implementation

  7. #1 – Existing ISBN-10s convert to ISBN-13s: Publishers have banks of existing ISBN-10s. On books Not yet assigned Distributors and depositories have inventory with ISBN-10s. Existing ISBN-10s convert to ISBN-13s; they are not replaced with new numbers.

  8. # 2 – There are standard rules for converting the ISBN-10 into ISBN-13: Begin with any 10 digit ISBN: 123456789-0 Eliminate the check digit: 123456789- Add the prefix “978” : 978-123456789- Calculate a new check digit: 978-123456789-4 The ISBN-10: 123456789-0 Converts to the ISBN-13: 978-123456789-4

  9. # 3 – Any ISBN-13 prefixed with “978” can be converted back to an ISBN-10: Any ISBN-13 prefixed with “978” : 978-123456789-4 Eliminate the check digit: 978-123456789- Drop the “978”: 123456789- Compute a new check digit: 123456789-0 The ISBN-13: 978-123456789-4 Converts to the ISBN-10: 123456789-0

  10. # 4 – There is no conversion of an ISBN-13 beginning with “979” into an ISBN-10: ISBN-10s will not exist for ISBN-13s beginning with “979”. Trading partners must use the full13 digits if they wish to handle these books, or they will need to use non standard book identifiers.

  11. ISBN-13: 978-1-4028-9462-6 ISBN-10: 1-4028-9462-7 ISBN: 978-1-4028-9462-6 Publishers are encouraged to display the ISBN-13 above the bar code beginning January 2007. Some publishers are planning to display dual ISBN-10 and ISBN-13 above the bar code until the book industry has completed the transition to ISBN-13. # 5 – Labeling of New Books – Back Cover (Cover 4)

  12. ISBN: 1-4028-9462-7 # 6 – Labeling of Backlist Books: There is no need to re-sticker publisher or supply chain inventory to display the ISBN-13 above the bar code. Publishers may continue to label their backlist books the way they are labeled today. Most backlist books already display the new ISBN as an EAN-13 below the bar code.

  13. # 7 – Dual Numbering of New and Backlist Books in Catalogs, Web Sites & Business Forms Book suppliers are encouraged to identify their books using dual ISBN-10s and ISBN-13s as the book industry makes the transition to ISBN-13. Dual numbering allows individual trading partners to make the transition at their own pace, instead of subjecting the book industry to an abrupt cutover on a single date. Use of ISBN-10s should be discontinued once the book industry completes the transition to ISBN-13.

  14. # 8 – Handling Product Identifiers in Master Data Files - For New and Backlist books: Organizations should prepare to accommodate ISBN-13s prefixed with either “978” or “979”. Organizations are also encouraged to accommodate (maintain, view and exchange) EAN.UCC/GTIN system product identification numbers up to 14 digits long.

  15. # 9 – Internal Business Transactions – for New and Backlist Books: Introduce the capability to transact business internally using 13 and 14 digit product identifiers. Maintain the capability to continue using ISBN-10s until they are no longer required.

  16. # 10 - Business Transactions with Trading Partners For New and Backlist Books: Organizations are encouraged to transact business with trading partners using 13 and 14 digit product identifiers by January 1, 2007, or a soon as possible thereafter. Book Orders and Book Returns Organizations should maintain the capability to transact business with trading partnersusing ISBN-10s until they are no longer required. Dual Numbering of business forms is encouraged.

  17. # 11 – The Book Industry standards for EDI will change: Standards exist today for electronic commerce as it relates to the book industry. These standards are available to schools which utilize eCommerce. The current standards for eCommerce will change in response to the implementation of the ISBN-13 Standard.

  18. #12 – Develop an ISBN-13 Implementation Strategy For Your Organization: Identify where ISBN’s are used. Determine where business processes need to change. Determinewhere& how systems need to change. Introduce capability to handle ISBN-13, along with all other EAN.UCC/GTIN identifiers up to 14 digits long. Retain capability to handle ISBN-10

  19. "Headwinds are sore vexations and the more passengers the sorer.“-Ralph Waldo Emerson

  20. Every participant in the book industry is impacted…. While we all have our own course to navigate, we all truly have a common destination. Within your organization as well as with your external partners: Inform and educate employees, customers, and vendors about the change. Phase In use of ISBN-13 Phase Out use of ISBN-10

  21. The AAP as well as your individual publishers will be communicating with you and soliciting your input throughout this process…. The AAP plans to embark upon an ISBN-13 awareness program that will utilize direct mailings as well as press releases to promote awareness to the school community. Various publishers will follow suit, keeping you informed and requesting updates from you to ensure a smooth transition.
