Web Book Search Analysis
We asked users of our software for a list of ISBN, UPC numbers. A sample of 25 numbers was randomly selected from the whole list. We reviewed the following book, movie, cd search sites: Amazon, WorldCat, Google Book, Library of Congress, OpenLibrary, Turner Classic Movies (DVD).
We ran the test in 2018. We reviewed the book search with similar ISBNs in November 2022. The good news is that some search sites list more books, and generally, there are more positive results. .
| Amazon Books | Google Books | Library of Congress | WorldCat | OpenLibrary | TCM (movies) | |
| 2022 | 19 | 19 | 11 (*) | n/a(**) | 17 | n/a |
| 2018 | 19 | 19 | 9 (*) | 25 | 6 | 3 |
(*) Note: Additional nine books we found at the Library of Congress using title + author search (there was a different edition or publication of the same book).
We suggest copying and pasting the ISBN or LCCN number from the LofC result page into the web book cataloging procedure.
Library of Congress offers the best book data.
(**) WorldCat web search does not support direct ISBN search from our program; August 2022.
