The last digit of an isbn is a check digit. Your barcode reader is probably programmed to drop it before transmission to computer. Most readers can be parametered to send or drop check-digits. -- Paul POULAIN Consultant indépendant en logiciels libres responsable francophone de koha (SIGB libre http://www.koha-fr.org)
