PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
On December 7, 2011, BISG published their Board-approved Policy Statement on best practices for identifying digital products. The objective of this Policy Statement is to clarify best practices and outline responsibilities in the assignment of ISBNs to digital products in order to reduce both confusion in the market place, and the possibility of errors.

Since publication, the BISG office has received many questions and much feedback.
In order to help clarify meaning and expectations regarding the Policy Statement's recommendations, this live, interactive webcast featured a strong Q&A component.
