Update Your ISBN-13 Readiness Directory entry

A successful transition to ISBN-13 requires the coordination of many moving parts. Unfortunately, it’s no longer enough to make sure your company's transition is in good order and assume your trading partners' plans will fall into line. Coupling your plans with those of your trading partners is the best way to an efficient transition for everyone in the industry.

With this in mind, the ISBN-13 readiness surveys below were created by BISG's ISBN-13 Task Force to serve your company in three ways: (1) to help track your progress toward complete ISBN-13 implementation; (2) to provide a centralized location for your trading partners to access your ISBN-13 readiness plans; and (3) to allow you to compare your transition plans with those of others in the industry.

Browse the directories below to find out how your implementation dates compare to BISG's recommended dates and to other organizations throughout the supply chain.

Then, let the industry know how ready you are for the transition to ISBN-13. Fill out the appropriate 30-minute survey below to be included in the ISBN-13 Readiness Directory.
