New 13-Digit ISBN Will Streamline International Trade

In a process akin to the Y2K software transition, the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) ordered a change in format of the number used to track all published materials worldwide.  The International Standard Book Number (ISBN), currently a 10-digit code, will be converted to 13 digits by January 1, 2007, increasing the number of possible ISBNs and aligning publishers worldwide with the 13-digit European Article Number.
