Overview
 The ISSN (International Standard
Serial Number) is an eight-digit number which identifies periodical
publications as such, including electronic serials. The ISSN is a numeric code which is used as an identifier: it
has no signification in itself and does not contain in itself any information
referring to the origin or contents of the publication.
The ISSN takes the form of the acronym ISSN followed by two
groups of four digits, separated by a hyphen. The eighth character is a control
digit calculated according to a modulo 11 algorithm on the basis of the 7
preceding digits; this eighth control character may be an "X" if the result of
the computing is equal to "10", in order to avoid any ambiguity.
Sample of an ISSN Barcode Add-On or Supplement code
The Add-On Symbols were designed to encode information
supplementary to that in the main bar code symbol on periodicals and paperback
books. The Add-On can be composed of 2 or 5 digits only.
Light Margin Indicators - a greater than (>) and/or
less than (<) character - are intended to protected the essential light
areas to the left and right of the code that the barcode scanner needs to
recognize the beginning and end.
