UnitechEDI Support - ISBN13 Information
UnitechEDI, Inc. is working with leaders in publishing and EDI technologies to prepare for upcoming ISBN format changes including ISBN13 and GTIN.
Please be certain to notify UnitechEDI when you are ready to start adding the first ISBN13 item identifiers to your item master file with the 979 prefix!
The Book Industry Study Group document <click for link> and Bowker document <click for link> give a good overview of why the ISBN-13 is needed, what it is, and when it will be implemented.
Unitech hosted an industry
conference call on June 15th, 2004 to review and address these issues. Please
let us know if you would like to be included in future conference calls.
