The German National ISSN Centre has reorganized its ISSN workflows

The major change is that every publication in Germany falling under the scope of ISSN and catalogued by the German National Library (Deutsche National Bibliothek) will automatically receive an ISSN as part of the normal cataloguing workflow. This new workflow will start during Summer 2016.

During the workshop organized at the DNB in March, 2016 (on specific invitation), the major publishers and relevant stakeholders will be informed about the changes in the ISSN workflow. There will also be a general discussion about the use of ISSN by major publishers and their needs.
