When attempting to update the identifier field in the metadata of a single book, I somehow added an incorrect isbn number to ALL of the books in my library. The result is that when looking at the 'ISBN' column on the main page, I see two isbn's joined as one <for ex 97800624530069780307496195> When opening up the individual 'edit metadata' window only the correct number 9780307496195 is visible but he errant isbn number is nowhere to be found. The errant ISBN (9780062453006) precedes all of the books (about 6000) in the library.

So, to sum up, I would like to delete the errant number for all of the mistaken occurrences.

If any idea available, help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
