Having an ISBN will make a difference for ordering, but it will also
impact access. Linking software (like SFX) use the ISBN to create
links to full text.

Subject: ACQNET: ISBN's required for E-books?
Hello all:
One of our faculty members wants to know if e-books are required to
Have an ISBN. I don't think one is required, but I thought I would
post to this list to find out if anyone knew. Does it make a
difference in ordering? My guess is obviously yes, but I'd like to
hear your opinions.
Any thoughts, ideas, and information are welcome.
Many thanks,
Kimberly A. Hale, Head of Collection Management
