Barcode scan
Barcode scan
I love the new feature of scanning, wonderful! Perhaps it is not possible, but it would be ideal if Library of Congress was used (or at least the option to use it first, google books second). The reason is that I want the LOC Call number, but Google Books doesn't provide this information.

Hm, that's not something I''d be inclined to do. Maybe your experience is different, but the LOC often (usually for me) doesn't identify an ISBN that Google Books and other book repositories do. I do have another possible source for ISBN searches that I'm considering, but it works far better than the LOC does.

And although I know it's more involved than you like, remember that when you scan you can right-click on the "found" window and copy the ISBN. You can paste this into a LOC online search and import from there, if it's found.

I've reconsidered this request and will add the Library of Congress as another source of book metadata when doing a Quick Add (text or barcode scan) using an ISBN.
