Why doesn\u2019t my ISBN come up in an internet search?<\/strong><\/p>\n

All publisher and title information that is supplied to us via our MyIdentifiers website<\/a> is included in our publications: Bowker Books In Print, Bowker Syndetic Solutions and Bookwire.<\/p>\n

These publications are sold on subscription to those in the industry who are researching and purchasing titles regularly, such as bookstores and libraries.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately there is no international index\/database\/website available free to the public, where all titles issued ISBNs are listed.<\/p>\n

Generally, titles do end up appearing on other ‘book find’ websites or databases as many online booksellers get a data feed from Thorpe-Bowker to populate their sites.<\/p>\n

When you send a copy of your title to the National Library for Legal Deposit it will appear on the Trove catalogue https:\/\/trove.nla.gov.au\/<\/a> and the National Library Catalogue https:\/\/catalogue.nla.gov.au\/<\/a><\/p>\n

Your title will also appear on Google Books but it does take approximately two months to appear once you have entered the title details into your MyIdentifiers account.<\/p>\n

Can I use the same ISBN that I have for my paperback on my ebook?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Your ebook version will need its own ISBN. Ebooks are usually produced in two formats: MOBI and EPUB. Each of these formats should have their own ISBN.<\/p>\n

I am producing a second edition of my title; do I need a new ISBN?<\/strong><\/p>\n

You will only need to have a new ISBN assigned if :<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. The title is changing.<\/li>\n
  2. The format will be changing, for example, from hardback to a paperback.<\/li>\n
  3. If the contents will be changing more than approximately 10%.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    If not, you can use the original ISBN, providing that it is a 13-digit ISBN.\u00a0If it is a 10-digit ISBN you can convert to the new standard 13-digit version at https:\/\/www.myidentifiers.com.au\/isbn\/converter_tool<\/a> for your new edition.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
