ISBN Handling

  • Normalization
  • Order Handling
  • Inventory Handling

ISBN search is implemented in Inventory but it's currently not sufficient. There is currently ISBN-13 and ISBN-10 with or without hyphens. If hyphens are not in the record, they are not found. The expectation is that an ISBN search will search both valid and invalid ISBN identifier types. Also, the search should ignore hyphens, both in the search and in the stored values. The search also ignores cases with a terminal "X". There is a question of whether a keyword search would include the ISNB field. Finally, the expectation is that the search will only search data in our records and will not calculate ISBN-10 from ISBN-13. However, the RA SIG would like the ISBN-10 calculated. Question: should the keyword search ISBN? Response: keyword should be as unspecific as possible.

ISBN functionality in Orders will be slightly different. When a MARC record is turned into an Inventory record, there's a mapping feature which adds certain fields to identifier type fields. E.g., ISBN, OCLC, etc. When creating an order and adding a PO line from a record in Inventory, the qualifier subfield comes over as a separate field from the product ID.  Product identifiers will be deduped. Orders does normalize Product IDs. Orders does not pull invalid ISBN fields from Inventory. Orders will always convert an ISBN-10 to an ISBN-13 always, regardless of whether the record has an ISBN-13 or not. There is concern about the automatic conversion of ISBN-10 to ISBN-13 in relation to special collections. Ann-Marie says they'll revisit if they need to.
