A web-siting at Yale: other editions and xISBN

Lorcan Dempsey 1 min read

I was looking at the Vufind implementation of the Yale University Library catalog – yufind – and was interested to see that it implements a link to OCLC’s xISBN service to pull together other editions of a displayed result. Here is an example where several versions of Krapp’s Last Tape are shown in the bottom left section of the display.

The feature, and how it is implemented, is nicely described under the label ‘New feature: other editions‘.
