Enhance the excellent z39.50 client with more search criteria
Title,*
Author,
Subject,
ISBN,*
LCCN,
Keyword,
Raw Text

* already present.

Other fields possible...

The z39.50 client is so good, to add more criteria would make it even better...

Whoops!
Author is already there! 
LCCN, Subject, Keyword would be nice.
Probably ISBN is most likely unless a movie (LCCN)

yep, this is definitely an issue still, bumping up to 3.0

LCCN in particular would be great -- many older items that don't have ISBN's do have LCCN's.

Likewise, with date of publication/ copyright.

Otherwise, your only real option is author/ title searching which can be a huge pain when multiple editions over a wide range of years exist.

Also the OCLC number would be very nice, although perhaps raw-text could catch about everything.

Pushed Darrell's patches + one of my own fixing XHTML errors.  Note that there's ambiguity here with the term 'LCCN' - did you mean LC Control Number or LC Call Number?



---- Additional Comments From bibliwho@gmail.com 2009-05-15 17:39:54 ----

For LCCN, I was definitely referring to the LC Control Number -- serves as a unique identifier in much the same way as an OCLC number.



---- Additional Comments From bibliwho@gmail.com 2009-05-28 16:53:59 ----

Another field that would be very helpful: Year.

So many books & movies come in so many editions that being able to limit by year would help narrow down the results a great deal.

Biggest votes, however, would be for the LC Control & OCLC Numbers.
