How to properly add ISBN to book records

Hi, I have the same questions as before, and my example is the following:https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5...
What am I supposed to do to add the book?
I have encountered this issue too. In the past I have put the ISBN in a librarian's note on the record, but this does not seem sufficient because it isn't searchable for users.




According to the current policy, records that have an ASIN cannot be added with an ISBN, and we should avoid adding ISBN data to duplicate editions of valid book records.
Does this mean that, in this case, the edit request should be processed only by the superlibrarians or staff? If not, how should librarians proceed?
