Barcodes on Beta EditionsBarcodes on beta editions are not ISBN based as beta editions do not need ISBN numbers (or, for that matter, legal deposit). Instead we assign an alpha-numeric catalogue reference code using the following formula: Three alphabetical characters based on the TITLE of the book followed by an alphabetical character representing the MEDIA and a two-digit numerical code representing the EDITION or SERIES. Media codes include B (book, booklet), C (audio cassette, 8-track cartridge, Audio CD), M (Multimedia, CDROM, Data disk), E (Electronic books and Multimedia Electronic books), V (video, DVD), etc. For example the first edition of the multimedia package A Counsellor's Resource Kit* which consists of audio cassettes & computer disks has the code CRK-M01 which is then converted into a barcode using a numeric algorism to create barcode glyphs:
If you require a specific barcode for a certain bookstore, these can be either printed on your book cover during the production process or onto a sticker that can be adhered over the existing barcode. There may be an additional charge for this service. |
