ISTC: the International Standard Text Code

Description
The ISBN has been working well since 1970 to help the publishing, retail and library worlds identify “books” in a standard way. In FRBR (Functional Requirements of Bibliographic Records) terms, an ISBN identifies a particular “manifestation” of a “work.” But what identifies a work? Several years ago, the International Standard Text Code (or ISTC) was developed as a standard identifier for a textual work. This free one-hour session will introduce you to the ISTC.
