BINGO! CONNECTING WITH STANDARD NUMBERS

The Rewards of Using Standard Numbers in Your Business
A Discussion among Librarians, Publishers, and Vendors

Standard numbers such as the ISSN, ISBN, SICI and DOI are useful in
streamlining workflow, ensuring accuracy, and matching files.  The ALCTS
Publisher Vendor Library Committee presents a forum to discuss the
importance of using standard numbers in daily work. Our panel will speak
from a variety of perspectives to address both book and serial concerns.
We expect a lively discussion to follow.

Panelists:

Julia Blixrud, Association for Research Libraries
Bob Boissy, The Faxon Co.
Ed Pentz, Academic Press
John Erickson, Yankee Book Peddler

Monday, February 1-- 9:30-11:00 a.m.
