BISG is a membership organization that brings together a broad cross-section of the book and periodical publishing ecosystem, including publishers, manufacturers, wholesalers and distributors, libraries, retailers, and industry partners. Members participate in committees where cross-industry issues are examined and practical work advances solutions, organized around five core areas: metadata, rights, supply chain, BISAC subject codes, and workflow. BISG was founded in 1976 after the annual conference of the Book Manufacturers Institute and is based in New York, New York. BISG supports the publishing supply chain by advancing standards, research, and information for its diverse stakeholders, including publishers, libraries, wholesalers and distributors, and retailers. It is a mid-sized organization that pursues collaborative initiatives across the industry. A notable recent development is its partnership with BookNet Canada to launch the 2026 AI in the Book Industry Survey.
