In IUCAT, how do I search using an ISBN or ISSN number?

To search IUCAT using an ISBN or ISSN number, in the field next to "keywords anywhere", enter the ISBN without hyphens or the ISSN with hyphens. Then click Search.

Occasionally, you may need to use the appropriate Machine Readable Catalog (MARC) field tag as well. To do so, enter the ISBN or ISSN as described above, followed by the appropriate MARC field tag in curly brackets. The MARC field tag for ISBN numbers is 020; the MARC field tag for ISSN numbers is 022.

For example, to search for the fifth edition of the MLA Handbook for Writers of Research Papers using the ISBN and MARC field tag, in the field next to "keywords anywhere", enter 0873529758 {020}. Then click Search.
