have long wanted to dive into the world of encryption library and bar codes used in editorial and documentary production. There is a double reason for presenting this article. On the one hand the aim of bringing more features and technical aspects of the international barcodes more standardized and proliferated on the planet and it is not always easy to finally understand and learn. On the other hand, is due to the action taken by the English ISBN Agency to establish the ISBN 13 across the country. Since this measure was announced a few months have passed and due to the lack of updating has been the archivist bold, could not be collected and analyzed in time. For this should not detract from the necessary attention or the importance that these issues pose to the Library, Documentation and members and professionals involved or related to libraries.

Brief History ISBN

The ISBN (International Standard Book Number) was conceived due to the growing market and production libraries in America and Europe mainly. His story begins in the mid 60's, where the first problems arose that caused the first great globalization Libraries; The difficult identification of the books produced in other countries, the lack of control in the production rid of publishing, international transactions complications related to pricing, fees, and even trade stocks and processes interlibrary loan ... led to one of the most advanced countries in publishing, UK, with major booksellers and publishers, among which WH Smith in the lead, to develop a standard identification system is called SBN (Standard Book Number .) After

function properly in the Anglo market in 1966, not having passed the years of existence, has convened a meeting in Berlin, in 1967, within the ISO (International Standard Organization) in approving the SBN as an international standard. Its ratification was filed in 1970 ISBN redenominated since then as in ISO 2108-1970 * (1). This change involved the use of 10 digits to include the prefix and make the production and deliver them from every country around the world. Since then, ISBN 10 continued to function until 2005 and 2007 respectively as results in the English case.

From 2007

The year 2007 has been a turning point in the evolution of the concept of barcodes for publications worldwide. While 10-digit identification are still sufficient to describe uniquely a publication, saw the need to improve international control of publications and the extension of the numbering to accommodate future market expectations and shared library production. This was reflected in the national ISBN agency explaining that one reason for the change is the system support EAN13 barcode and more specifically with the international model UPC universal product identification and implementation of a method of bar code to facilitate commercial transactions.

Structural Evolution of Coding:
In the short but intense history of ISBN, there has been steady progress in the coding and structure from 9 to 13 digits of the current. Be noted that one of the major innovations of Version 13 is the adoption of a prefix that identifies the type of product EAN code, which generally corresponds to the number 978 of book or paper in general.

However, still looking like a trivial number, knowledge, instructions for use, generation and application can be complex indeed. For that reason, he edited the Handbook ISBN which explains its use in the distinction of publications, issues, accompanying materials, bibliographic products derived, and the reconstruction algorithm based on a code ISBN EAN
