Starting in 2007 the International ISBN Agencyhas introduced new formats for ISBN numbers.
Prior to 2007, the ISBN format was 9 digits plus one check character (either a digit or an X). Thisis now referred to as an ISBN-10.
Starting in 2007, the format is identical to that of an EAN-13 Universal Product Code. It consists of 12 digits (starting with 978 or 979)followed by a single checkdigit.This is referred to as an ISBN-13 and is the same as the barcode printed on many books beneath the ISBN-10 number.(In some countries it may be followed by an additional barcode which indicates the suggested retail pricing:in other jurisdictions this is illegal.)
It is possible to convert between ISBN-10 numbers and ISBN-13 numbers starting with “978”. The followingautomatic converter can be used.
