Have you ever TRIED to have parsing software interpret the ISBD area
that winds up in 245? It is NOT easy. I suspect it may even be provably
impossible in the general case, some of the stuff just isn't parseable,
but I just suspect that I haven't proven it. There is a Code4Lib

Quoting from Brian Green (head of the International ISBN agency)—
For ISBN e-commerce is the driving force; whereas with ISSN the need to
identify TITLEs in bib record and databases is the driving force. There is no
agreement between publishers.

Totally agree! Parsing software can deal with the compatibility and conversion

A propos of numbers identifiers what do you think of the ISSN - L ?
Couldn't it be a great lesson for e-books too?

Will bibligraphic utilities allow multiple records with differing

This workshop is being sponsored by the Panhandle Library Access Network
(PLAN). The registration link below brings you to their website. Sorry for
the confusion. The intent of the introduction is only to credit JSC for
creating the new cataloging code.

Who is sponsoring this workshop? By stating what the workshop will cover in
the same paragraph that begins with explaining the JSC, makes it sound like a
JSC workshopIt is not. Is it something the Florida State University is
sponsoring? - Barbara Tillett (LC representative to the JSC)

Enforcing transcribed data elements using publication and cataloging
standards have 1) enabled us to capture the transcribed data in
machine-readable form, and 2) facilitated the communication of the data
among library systems, especially ILS, ILL, document delivery, 3rd-party
apps, and other syste
Karen,
We derive a number of cataloging records for the German Springer ebook library
using the German language cataloging agency parallel records as a starting
point. The best match point in these cases is the ISBN (either e or p) since
these would be the same in the records generated from ei

That's where things aren't quite as pretty. Right now, the only link
between parallel records is a note in the 936 field, with the letters "PR"
followed by the record numbe
Is there anything in the records that identifies them as the same

Still, I realize that setting up and enforcing genuine standards is
really a tremendous undertaking, but it will have to be done sooner
