George Knill · Mathematics Teacher Learning and Teaching PK-12 · 1981
In the years 1968-72 all books through- out the world began to receive coded ten-digit numerical labels called International Standard Book Numbers (ISBNs). The ISBN functions as an unambiguous means of ordering or maintaining inventories of books, especially when records are stored by computer. The ISBN is assigned by publishers to their books.
