Good. You can get the details using REST web services too:

I know this a noob question but what exactly does this script return. I was hoping to return the book title from an isbn search but using this script I’m confused about how to return that.

Any help would be greatly appreciated, John

To Whom it May Concern:
Thanks so much for posting this; setting the IdType=ISBN was what I needed. My college’s library web application is sweet now because when users fill out a web form for a library item, they just have to provide the ISBN field, and all the rest of the fields are auto filled.
