BISAC Regional Themes (2023 Edition)

Optional themes to help describe regional aspects of a book

Introduction

The BISAC Regional Themes were developed by the BISAC Subject Codes Committee of the Book Industry Study Group, Inc. (BISG). While updating the BISAC Merchandising Themes in early 2005, the BISAC Subject Codes Committee saw a need to further expand the regions within that list. Because there were so many regions to add, the committee decided to break them out of the Merchandising Themes altogether and develop a new list of just regions.

Using BISAC Regional Themes

The BISAC Regional Themes are optional codes that can be used in conjunction with a Subject Code or with a Subject Code and a Merchandising Theme, but should not be used on their own, e.g., in lieu of a Subject Code. The codes can be used for fiction or non-fiction. When selecting a code, the editor should use the most general applicable code without using multiple specific codes. For example, if a book focuses on New England, it should be assigned New England rather than a code for each of the six states that comprise New England. A general rule is to use the most inclusive code. However, the BISAC Subject Codes Committee makes no recommendation as to how many codes should be used. While a book does not need a separate code for continent, country, state and city, if the desired city is included on the list, it should be coded for each location appropriate to the book.

Examples

Cry, The Beloved Country - 3.5.7.0.0.0.0 Republic of South Africa
New Orleans: A Photographic Tour - 4.0.1.5.4.1.0 New Orleans
One Hundred and One Beautiful Small Towns of Italy - 1.5.3.0.0.0.0 Italy
Robert Frost’s New England - 4.0.1.1.0.0.0 New England

Organization and Structure

BISAC Regional Themes are organized hierarchically and structured so that countries and/or cities can easily be inserted into the hierarchy as necessary without having to completely renumber the entire list.

The hierarchy was structured as follows:

Level 1 – Continents
Level 2 – Subcontinents
Level 3 – Countries
Level 4 – Subcountry regions
Level 5 – States, Provinces, Counties
Level 6 – City, Town, Area
Level 7 – Borough, Neighborhood, District

A number was assigned to each continent and to each region within. All regions were assigned a 7-part code in the format of X.X.X.X.X.X.X (where X equals a numeric value). In the code schema, 0 (zero) acts as an undefined value, rather than a number. It is a placeholder value that implies someday there might be a number in that position for that specific region. The structure allows for the continent or country of a lower-level place to easily be identified.

There have been no changes made to this section for the 2023 edition.
