Even though it takes a few extra clicks, you can find ISBN numbers thru
this website without "buying" subscriptions to the "regular sources".

Just enter the search info, then click on your result. The ISBN number
appears in the search box, toward the top.

Subject: [Videolib] ISBN #s
Does anyone on this listserv know of an alternative way to obtain ISBN
#s than by paying Bowker's fees? Years ago ISBN prefixes and numbers
were free and I obtained a prefix and what I thought was a lifetime
supply of numbers in 1989. But as it turns out, I'm nearing the end of
the numbers. Bowker's staff has informed me that I will not be able to
keep my original ISBN prefix (for any amount of money) and that if I
want to obtain a prefix that I can use consistently, I will have to
purchase a huge quantity, pay a large fee, and be liable for a
continuing yearly fee. I have two questions for the listserv: 1. Does
anyone else issue ISBN #s or a suitable equivalent? 2. Do librarians
and other media professionals care whether a DVD, VHS, or book has an
ISBN # or not?

Many thanks.
