Useful Info, Contacts and Internet LinksISBN & Barcode If you are planning to sell your book through commercial outlets, you will need to have the International Standard Book Number (ISBN) and a barcode on the back cover. The ISBN is a system of numerical identification for books and other works that assigns a unique thirteen digit number to each published title. Publishers, bookstores and libraries use the ISBN to identify publications in order to expedite their handling, retrieval, ordering, inventory control and accounting. ISBN’s are provided free of charge through the Canadian ISBN Agency, Library and Archives of Canada. An ISBN number can be obtained on-line at the following website address: Printorium Bookworks can generate the bar code for you and drop that on the back cover for you – or e-mail it to your designer. Cataloguing In Publication Cataloguing in Publication (CIP) is a free cooperative venture between publishers and libraries which enables books to be catalogued before they are published. This enables publishers to promote their new books by providing booksellers, wholesalers and librarians with advance information they can use to select and purchase books.
Copyright Indicate Copyright on all of your work. The format should include the international Copyright symbol, the date of publication or creation (even if you don’t plan to publish it) and the copyright holder’s name.
