If I told you a secret cabal of the comics industry's most important players had been working behind the scenes for years to implement an important change for how comics are sold, your ears would perk up, right?
But if I told you this change was to get expanded BISAC codes for kids and YA graphic novels they'd probably perk right down again, right?
” BISAC stands for Book Industry Study Group (I know, I know)…”
To nitpick, BISAC stands for either “Book Industry Systems Advisory Committee” or “Book Industry Standards and Communications” (not sure which name is more correct nowadays…) to denote the subset of the Book Industry Study Group (BISG) that works to create industry standards, including categorization.
What might be nice would be to have a list of comics-specific BISACs?
Thanks for covering this important change, Heidi.
Brian – when you say a list of list of comics-specific BISACs, what exactly are you after? The BISG list the existing comics BISACs on their website – https://www.bisg.org/bisac/bisac-subject-headings-list-comics-and-graphic-novels. When the new codes become official in January 2017, I’m sure they’ll add them to the site as well.
