[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Importing from ISBN

[Justin Hopkins]

Hi Andrew,

When you say "I am starting my library" do you mean to say that you'd 
like to use Evergreen to catalog and maintain your personal collection 
of books, or that you work for a library and will be cataloging that 
collection?

Cheers,
Justin
