  • External IDs - If this publication is listed by a supported third party Web site which has assigned a permanent ID to it, select the Web site from the drop-down list on the left and enter the ID in the field on the right. If you need to enter additional External IDs, click the "Add External ID" button. Note that you can enter multiple External IDs per web site if needed, e.g. OCLC/WorldCat frequently has more than one record per ISBN. The following third party Web sites are currently supported:
