BACKGROUND ON THIS MEETING'S AGENDA
In May 2010 the Identification of E-Books Working Group began a systematic review of the International ISBN Agency recommendations for the identification of e-books and digital content.This review resulted in the September 2010 hiring of Michael Cairns of Information Media Partners to conduct an objective, research-based study that would describe, define and make recommendations for the best case identification of e-books in the U.S. supply chain. The study was titled the Identification of E-Books Research Project.
On January 13, 2011, Identification of E-Books Working Group members received an overview of findings from the research project. Click here for a summary of findings.
