Richard Baker Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 Obviously a DACS question: Just checking if contributors use a website to search for magazine ISBN numbers? I swear I found one last year but I didn't bookmark it - and this morning's visit to the library and the supermarket bookshelf hasn't yielded all that I need. Thanks. Richard.

M.Chapman Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 Magazines have ISSN numbers which can usually be found here https://portal.issn.org/ Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joseph Clemson Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 I found the ISSN portal this morning while doing the DACS thing. Some of it is free access and some is subscription, I've not explored it enough to know how useful it really is, though I did find the ISSN of The Sub-Postmaster Magazine through its facilities Oops Mark was quicker than me....

I've now discovered you need to delete the dash in the middle for DACS to find and ingest the title. The next issue is that DACS keeps logging me out! Many thanks.

regen Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 I think that you need to use the CLA (copyright licensing authority) website because the DACs list is matched against the numbers used by the CLA. Many books/mags are not recognised by the CLA so will not count even if you have the correct number. Just go to the CLA site and type in the name of the publication and if it matches then the 8 figure? CLA ISSN/ISBN will appear- or it did for me last year yielding a payment of around £600 for the publication history claim. Regen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've successfully used the ISSN site and have bookmarked your CLA alternative for next time round! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vpics Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 I don't know if it's just me again, but I have problems inputting the ISBN numbers. Anyone else? DACS have told me that the site is really busy, but I'm struggling big time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DACS have told me that the site is really busy, but I'm struggling big time. I didn't have any problems entering the numbers (remember to leave the dashes out). But I did find that the DACs system doesn't always "Find" the title of the publication associated with the ISSN (even when the publication is on the CLA database) so I had to enter those titles manually.

DACS have told me that the site is really busy, but I'm struggling big time. I struggled too at times, entering an isbn or issn number would then leave the form waiting for up to several minutes for a response from the website. Got it done in the end, but I only had a handful of titles to add to my publication list - I imagine you have rather more to enter than I had.

I did too yesterday with minutes of waiting for their server to Find a publication or go to page 2 of titles already submitted. Also, I kept getting logged out so that was an added pleasure ..
