Association of American PublishersEmail to a Colleague

This trade association of the book publishing industry spearheads the eBook Publishing Standards Initiative, which was undertaken in partnership with Andersen Consulting. The initiative explores digital rights management, metadata and numbering. For more information, next surf on over to DOI.org - the International Digital Object Identifier Foundation - as the AAP/Andersen Consulting report has recommended the adoption of DOIs as one of the main components of an international eBooks identifier system. This numbering standard system is being developed because of the unique nature of ebooks: One can purchase chapters or even pages from an existing ebook, in many different formats. Under the current system each of those options requires a unique ISBN identifying number. But we're running out of numbers, and the ISBN system doesn't really work for digital matter, anyway. The DOI system would assign one identifying number per book, with a series of prefixes and suffixes to denote formats and subsets of the publication.

US ISSN CenterEmail to a Colleague

Are you in the market for an International Standard Serial Number (ISSN)? Just like an ISBN, which is the standard identifier for book titles, an ISSN can be used for publications which are issued in parts, usually bearing issue numbers and/or dates (for example, a serial which is expected to continue indefinitely). So if you are publishing an ebook that you expect to update annually, obtaining an ISSN gives you a standard identifier (think of it as your publication's social security number) that does not have to be renewed every time you issue a new version. The ISSN is the accepted means of product identification and is useful if you plan to introduce your work to the larger world of syndication or sales. There is no cost to obtain or use an ISSN, and application can be handled online at this website.

WatersideEmail to a Colleague

Have a great idea for a book in the computer field? You might want to run it by Waterside, one of the premier computer book agencies, and see what they have to say. Their "Query the Agent" feature is one of the great resources for new authors available at their site.
