How-to
Downloading the Barcode and Copyright Page
Downloading the cover barcode of a book with an ISBN as SVG or PDF, and copying the text of the copyright page or getting it as a PDF.
Once a request has its ISBN, the Barcode and copyright page card prepares the EAN-13 barcode for the cover and the book's copyright page (künye).
Barcode
- On the request's Barcode and copyright page card, press Download SVG or Download PDF.
- Give the file to the cover designer.
The barcode is at its nominal size and takes up about 37 × 32 mm. Do not shrink it.
Copyright page
- Check the text in the Copyright page section of the card.
- Copy the text with Copy the copyright page, or download the copyright page as a PDF with the Download PDF button next to it.
The copyright page contains the following.
- The title and subtitle, the authors and the contributors
- The publisher's name and publisher certificate number
- The date and number of the publishing board's decision
- The ISBN and the numbers of the other forms of the same edition
- The edition and printing details, the printer and the printer's certificate number
- The place and year of publication
- The licence statement for an openly licensed book, and the copyright line for other books
The publisher's details come from Site settings, and the edition, printing and printer details from the request.
Hyphenation
The hyphens in the number are placed according to the range message of the International ISBN Agency. If the range message has not been fetched yet, the barcode and the copyright page show the 13 digits of the number without hyphens, and the card says so in a warning. The same happens when the message has not been refreshed for more than three weeks and does not know the number. This way a number split in the wrong places is never printed. Before sending the book to print, wait for the range message to be fetched or refreshed, or set the hyphens by hand as the screen of the Ministry of Culture and Tourism shows them.
