ISSN Philippines will launch its online application system on 25 June 2021

The ISSN National Centre of the Philippines will launch its International Standard Numbering System – Philippines Online Application System (INS-POAS) on 25 June 2021 through a recorded video which will be uploaded in the  National Library of the Philippines (NLP) website and Facebook page. INS-POAS is a web application system for Philippine publishers, accessible through the link: http://116.50.242.167/ins/.

The ISSN National Centre of the Philippines started operating in late 1975 with the National Science Development Board (NSDB) as the National Center. In 1981, the ISSN National Center was transferred to the National Library as part of its integrated bibliographic services. This is in keeping with the internationally accepted practice of establishing national centres within the framework of national libraries together with the national agency for ISBN as part of its supportive programs.
