Gatineau, Quebec · 05/14/2024 · Library and Archives Canada

In late April 2024, a user reported a technical issue with their ISBN Canada account.

Upon investigation, we found that a small set of ISBN Canada accounts were experiencing the same issue.

Following a preventive shutdown of the ISBN application, and as per our internal procedures, LAC’s investigation did not find wrongful access to protected information. However, the investigation has identified application deficiencies that LAC is currently working to correct. Please rest assured that LAC is managing the situation and taking all necessary precautions to protect your information.

If you need ISBN services in the meantime, please contact the ISBN Canada team at ISBN@bac-lac.gc.ca.

We apologize for any inconvenience that may result from this service interruption.
