A distributed search portal of common sources of ISBN numbers, with permanent caching of results. To provide a free software, open-source, interface for ISBN retrieval using HTML, SQL or XML to be independent of any toolkits or software. Version 0.5 has now been released. v0.5 includes support for the 13digit ISBN format and scripts to recalculate all existing 10 digit ISBN records. isbnsearch scripts will still output the 10 digit form until the 13 digit forms start appearing. There are also improvements to the matching.php script and the two Perl scripts.
With v0.5, isbnsearch has completed the adjustments to the database tables and the scripts to correctly verify the 979 namespace. Although 13 digit ISBN numbers won't be in use for a while yet, isbnsearch has moved to a 13 digit system by adding the 978 and the appropriate checksum to existing records using v0.5. All sites should now to upgrade to v0.5. All web pages and scripts will continue to display ISBN values in 10 digit form for some time. v0.5 includes a single script that recalculates all your existing tables.
