Having added a first test item, I thought I would try to add to the catalog the dozen or so books that happened to be on a desk on the library.
I tried to search by ISBN, and the next two books were at least technically findable on Amazon by ISBN, but did not come up in the Z39.50/SRU search.
I am curious as to which Z39.50 resources you are using. LC does not contain all books. Indeed, I find I need to use five primary Z39.50s to cover most books I catalog, with another 35 held in reserve for the very rare. I would expect to see most books on Amazon represented in LC, but they skip many foreign publishers. Oxford is my primary backup. Regards, / Bruce / Bruce A. Metcalf Augustan Library
