[OT] ISBNs and cataloguing information for digital pubs

[Lindsey Thomas Martin <lmartin@xxxxxx>]

Colleagues,

We are starting a series of publications to be published only in PDF 
on our website and our local authority responsible for assigning 
ISBNs and publishing data says that works not published in print may, 
but need not have, an ISBN and cataloguing information assigned.

What would you consider good current practice:  should works 
published only electronically have cataloguing information (e.g. 
Canadian Cataloguing in Publication Data, American Library of 
Congress) and ISBNs? Have the authorities in your jurisdiction made a 
formal decision on the matter?

Regards,
Lindsey Martin
