1. ISBN Barcode Introduction
ISBN is also known as
International Standard Book Number, Bookland EAN, ISBN-13, ISBN-10, ISBN+5,
ISBN+2, ISBN Supplement 5/Five-digit Add-On, ISBN Supplement 2/Two-digit Add-On
ISBN stands for International Standard Book Number - a unique identifier assigned to each edition of every published book and book-like product. The purpose of the ISBN is to establish and identify one title or edition of a title from one specific publisher and is unique to that edition, allowing for more efficient marketing of products by booksellers, libraries, universities, wholesalers and distributors.

The Components of an ISBN
The ISBN number is 13 digits long and consists of
four or five parts:
- In ISBN, a GS1 Prefix, either 978 or 979
- The country of origin or language code
- The publisher number which is assigned by the national ISBN agency
- The item number
- The checksum character which ensures that each ISBN is valid, meaning that the number is correct
Add-On or Supplement code
The Add-On Symbols were designed to encode information
supplementary to that in the main bar code symbol on periodicals and paperback
books. The Add-On can be composed of 2 or 5 digits only. For ISBN barcodes a
Five-digit Add-On is usually used for the Retail Suggested Price.
