Subject: ISBN Number Change

Hello.  My name is Deri David and I am from North Texas.  I am new to 
the listserv.

I am currently enrolled in a Library Science program. For our Technical 
Service course,
we are required to interview a librarian who works in TS.  As I was 
interviewing a librarian
this morning, I learned that ISBN numbers are being changed from 
10-digits to 13-digits and
hat this change is causing a major concern for librarians across the 
country.

We also are required to write a research paper on an specific issue 
within TS - collection
development, acquisitions, gifts and exchange, preservation, etc.  I 
would like to ask the
listserv members if the ISBN number change is a viable topic to explore?

Any feedback is appreciated!

Sincerely,

Deri David
