within the allocated registrant element. Some ISBN registration agencies may charge a fee
for these services. 
The ISBN registration agency will determine the range of publication elements that will be
available to the publisher. The range assigned will be determined based on current and
anticipated future publication output and is directly related to the length of the registrant
element allocated. The publisher should ensure that the ISBN registration agency has as
much information as possible about all available backlist publications and should advise
the agency of all present and future publications in order for the assignment of a suitably
sized registrant element. 
The publisher should supply the ISBN registration agency (or its designated local
bibliographic agency) with a specified amount of metadata about the publication to which
the ISBN is assigned. The specifications concerning the type and format of the metadata is
established by the International ISBN Agency in cooperation with the ISBN registration
agencies. 
Further information and detailed instructions concerning the ISBN system are available
from the appropriate ISBN registration agency.
10. Non participating Publishers
In the case of the non participation of a publisher in the ISBN scheme, the relevant group
agency should contact the publisher and advise them of the importance and value of
assigning ISBNs to all qualifying publications and supply them with full details about how
to adopt the standard.
In the case of publishers who only publish an occasional title and who are never likely to
be in the position of assuming the responsibility themselves for numbering, the group
agency may nominate a registrant element to assign to miscellaneous publishers and
number all publications using that block, irrespective of the publisher concerned. This
practice should be adopted with strict control because of the confusion it can produce
being an exception of the general rule of one registrant element to one publisher/imprint. In
these cases neither the registrant element nor any of the individual ISBNs from this
allocation can uniquely identify a particular publisher. 
In some countries the group agency assigns ISBNs to publications received for legal
deposit that do not already have an ISBN allocated. The group agency then informs the
publisher about the ISBN that has been assigned and publicises it in the national
bibliography.
11. Practical Uses of ISBN
The ISBN is used in all branches of the book supply chain.
The ISBN in 
publishing houses
 is used for:
  Identifying firm publication projects from receipt of author's manuscript to delivery of
final publication
  Publication identification in publishers' catalogues and advertisements
