Book Publication & Library Identification Barcodes
Bookland EAN-13 Standard (978 / 979 Prefixes)
ISBN numbers identify commercial books published worldwide. Encoded using the Bookland EAN-13 standard, they require a 978 or 979 country prefix.

- You must obtain an official assigned ISBN number from your national ISBN agency (e.g., Bowker in the US, Nielsen in the UK, Raja Rammohun Roy Agency in India) before commercial publishing. Generating a barcode graphic does not register an ISBN with bibliographic databases.
- ISBN barcodes require clean white quiet zones on both sides. Placing dark artwork or textured photos behind the barcode numbers will cause scanner read errors.
