I'm launching this site in the interests of starting conversations about the way in which book details -- author, title, subject, and even page count -- are collected, sold, disseminated, updated, broken, and misused. My credentials? I worked for Amazon.com from 1996 to 1997 as catalog manager. In that capacity, I worked with data vendors, and developed or help develop in-house resources as well as Web site tools that would provide the best information about each book we listed. We wanted the list to be exhaustive, but also accurate. I developed an intimate knowledge with several data feeds from book distributors and the Library of Congress in the process. So die Begründung von Glennf vom kürzlich gestarteten ISBlogN. Verspricht interessante Lektüre zu werden.
