Search by any standard number in Search External Resources
We would like to be able to search WorldCat by any standard number (UPC, ISMN, music publisher number, video publisher number, etc.) through the Search External Resources tool. This would be particularly helpful for locating audio-visual resources without having to search in the native interface.

The option to search by Standard Number in the Alma external search resources is now available.
For more information, please refer to the Alma May release notes and online help.

Hello community,
We want to share with you the planned solution for this requirement. We will be adding a new search field Standard Number to the Alma External Search resources. -
This request is included in this idea, and we will therefore merge these ideas together: https://ideas.exlibrisgroup.com/forums/308173/suggestions/38080882

UPC and ISMN numbers are in the 024 field; music publisher and video publisher numbers are in the 028 field. Z39.50 searches already exist for these two fields.

Search External Resources should have the capability of searching OCLC by UPC (Universal Product Code). This would be particularly helpful for locating records for video formats. OCLC allows searching of the UPC in the standard number field.
