The book industry is converting its primary product identifier, the ISBN, from a 10-digit number to a 13-digit number. Everything on the backend of our web site and warehouse management system is tied to this unique identifier. So you can imagine we were not exited to hear the news that this change was coming.
Last Friday we converted our entire system over to the new 13-digit number. I am happy to report the conversion process went well, with only a few minor glitches. From our members perspective nothing has changed. They can ever continue to search using the 10-digit ISBN number if they wish.
