Josiah xISBN Bookmarklet

A book title can have different ISBNs for the paperback, the hardcover, and for different editions. With OCLC's xISBN service you can find a book, given an ISBN, even if the library holds this book under a different ISBN.

An xISBN bookmarklet for use with JOSIAH is available for download at: http://errol.oclc.org/oai:bookmarks.oclc.org:library.brown.edu.

You can install the bookmarklet on the "Links" toolbar in Internet Explorer or the "Bookmarks" toolbar in Firefox. Click on the bookmarklet in a search result on Amazon, or any other book source, to search JOSIAH for the particular ISBN AND for related ISBNs. As JOSIAH does not support multiple ISBN searches you will have to click through a list of related ISBNs on the left panel (see below).

If you use the Brown LibX Firefox extension the JOSIAH xISBN functionality is already available in the right-click context menu (see screenshot at right).

For a listing of all catalogs with xISBN bookmarklets see OCLC's OPAC Registry.
