Extension summary

Analyze keywords

Bibli-O-Matic displays bibliographic data for any ISBN that appears on any web page.

Bibli-O-Matic automatically detects valid ISBNs (both ISBN-10 and ISBN-13) and applies a small, red icon next to them that allows you, with one click, to pull up detailed information about that title. Find title, subtitle, author, and format information; images; metadata keywords; and more. Switch between ONIX 2.1 and 3.0 records, where available.

All bibliographic information is pulled from BookNet Canada’s BiblioShare Web Services.

Before I started using this extension, I had no idea how much time I wasted tracking down metadata. It's just so handy. I breathe a sigh of relief whenever I see that little red icon beside the isbn.

I love the improved Bibli-O-Matic! It doesn't bog down the page no matter how many ISBNs are on it and the information it returns saves so much time when checking data. The design is really nice and includes Thema as well as BISAC! Total timesaver.
