Brunel University ISBN
What is an ISBN?
An ISBN is an International Standard Book Number. Each ISBN now comprises 13 characters and uniquely identifies a publication.
The following products qualify for an ISBN:
- Monographic works (books) that are textual and/or have an instructional content.
- Electronic or digital resources such as DVDs, e-Books and such other e-Publications with textual and/or instructional content i.e. not purely for entertainment.

How do I get an ISBN?
Brunel University is registered as a publisher with the ISBN Agency with an allocation of a block of ISBNs for use by University members. If you wish to apply for one of these numbers for your publications, then please contact isbn@brunel.ac.uk
In return, a copy of the publication should be deposited in Brunel University Library as part of the Brunel Collection.
Once a publication has a Brunel ISBN it is traceable back to Brunel, and it is implicit, although not a legal requirement, that Brunel will supply the publication, or details of where to get it on request.
