I don't know about goodreads... but library thing allows for social data to be added to each book. One of the fields is "canonical name" in the common knowledge section which is supposed to be the same from edition to edition. I think that is what is used to compare libraries, assuming a book has been given that data.

Then again I cold be wrong.
