How-to
Changing the Print Date and Cancelling an ISBN
How the print date reported to the Ministry affects the legal deposit period, what to do when printing is postponed, and cancelling an ISBN that will not be used.
If the print date reported to the Ministry of Culture and Tourism is not changed, the book counts as printed on that date and the legal deposit (derleme) obligation begins. JournTech sends reminders 14 and 3 days before the planned print date. If the date passes and no print date is entered, it sends another reminder the next day and counts the legal deposit period from the planned date.
If printing is postponed
- Update the date in the Ministry's system.
- In JournTech, change the printing's Planned print date to the new date on the request's Printings and legal deposit card.
- Press Save printing.
The reminders follow the new date.
Cancelling the number
The number of a book that will not be published is cancelled.
- On the request page, press Cancel request.
- In Reason for cancelling, enter a reason of at least 5 characters and confirm.
- Have the number cancelled in the Ministry's system too.
The number is removed from the catalogue record and the request is closed. The cancellation cannot be undone. The Ministry may give the cancelled number to the publisher's next book.
The number of a book that was printed or has been made public cannot be cancelled. Nor can the number of a book that has been promoted on sales sites or catalogued in a library.
A request that has no number yet is cancelled with the same button. If you cancel a request that was sent to the Ministry, withdraw the application in the Ministry's system too.
