BISAC (Book Industry Standards and Communications)

BISAC, or Book Industry Standards and Communications, is a system that assigns specific subject categories to books, helping to organize and classify them in a consistent way. This makes it easier for publishers, retailers, and libraries to find, sell, and recommend books. Each category has a unique code, allowing for streamlined communication across the book industry. In the context of general knowledge, BISAC helps ensure that readers can easily discover books on topics of interest, by grouping similar works together and aiding in effective marketing and inventory management.
