Matheus Martins | 5 comments Hello Librarians,

I need help with a book record I created.

My ISBN was not properly added, and an ASIN was automatically pulled from Amazon. Because of this, I am unable to edit the ASIN field and now I cannot access the book page correctly.

The correct ISBN is: 9786500732238

Could you please remove the incorrect ASIN and ensure the ISBN is properly set? If necessary, the record can be deleted so I can recreate it correctly.

Thank you!

Matheus Martins | 5 comments Hello, Scott!

Thank you for the guidance.

I do have an ISBN, but I was unable to add it when creating the record. The correct ISBN is: 9786500732238.

Could you please delete the entire book record so I can recreate it properly with the correct information?

Thank you very much for your help.

Matheus Martins | 5 comments Scott, thank you for your reply.

Yesterday was my first time trying to create the record. I added the cover, title, and all required information. The first time I entered the ISBN, it did not register. When I tried to add it again, the system indicated that this ISBN was already in use. From that point on, I was no longer able to edit it.

Because of this issue, the record ended up without the correct ISBN and with an automatically pulled ASIN.

Could you please delete the record so I can recreate it properly with the correct ISBN?

Thank you for your help.

Scott | 15338 comments I am not getting the ISBN in use message so I'm not sure why you are.

Matheus Martins | 5 comments Thank you for checking.

I’m not sure why the system behaved that way on my end, but when I first created the record, the ISBN did not save properly. When I tried to enter it again, I received a message indicating the ISBN was already in use, and after that I was unable to edit the field.

At the moment, the record remains without the correct ISBN and with an automatically assigned ASIN. I can't edit this ASIN, and it is not mine.

Could you please delete the current record so I can recreate it correctly with ISBN 9786500732238? I want to make sure the book data is accurate.

Thank you very much for your assistance.
