The International Standard Book Numbering System was initiated at the end of the 60s in Great Britain as a national system. It gradually spread all over the world in more then 190 countries. In the Czech Republic it is in operation since 1989.
The system uses the 13-digit ISBN number for an unambiguous identification of books (i.e. non-periodical publications). The ISBN number is mostly used in book market, libraries and by publishers.
The supreme body of the whole system is the International ISBN Agency in London. It produces on its websites the international directory of publishers (Global Register of Publishers) listing also the data about publishers of the Czech Republic. The supreme body of the system in the Czech Republic is the National Library of the Czech Republic , Czech National ISBN and ISMN.

The International Standard Serials Numbering System was initiated at the end of the 60s in United States where the R.R. Bowker Co. was assigning ISSNs for serials of the whole world. At the beginning of the 70s assigning ISSNs was distributed to individual countries and the system spread since that time to more then 90 countries. In the Czech Republic the system works since the 70s.
The system uses 8-digit ISSN numbers for unambigous identification of key titles of continuing resources (formerly serial publications). With the change of the key-title is changed also its ISSN. The ISSN is mostly used in book market, libraries and by publishers.
The supreme body of the system is the International ISSN Centre in Paris. The supreme body of the Czech Republic is the Czech National ISSN Centre seated in the National Technical Library in Prague.
