It should be noted that the LCCN derived from the external catalog search may or may not be an exact match for the actual edition that is being used. The author and title will be the same, or very close, but the publisher, year, etc may be different. I've also been faced with two seemingly identical editions, that match the one in my hand, but that have different LCCNs. Then it's a coin toss as to which to choose. Also, most of the non-English books, and even many of those in English, don't turn up any kind of match from LoC (the only catalog we currently search). JulietS Michael Dyck wrote:

Michael: who makes these?
As part of creating a project at DP, you can do an external catalog search, and select one of the results if it appears to match the book in question. We extract some info from the catalog record of the selected result, including the LCCN.
