A survey about ISBN and the law was conducted towards the end of 2016 by Renek Mendruń from the Poland ISBN Agency. We are now pleased to present an Executive Summary of the findings of the survey, which are drawn from the responses of 85 national ISBN agencies. The Executive Summary can be downloaded here. The general conclusion is that, in countries where ISBN is applied in the law, agencies believe that doing so creates no real problems.

The International ISBN Agency would like to thank Renek for his hard work in organising this survey and for his willingness to allow us to share the results.
