Version 1.0.57 - 2023-04-05 Enhancement to add a new menu item to use a book's Author & Title to download its OCLC-WI Identifier, which in turn can be used in lieu of a missing ISBN/ISSN to download the same metadata (DDC, LCC, FAST Tags, etc.) that ISBN/ISSN would make available if they were not missing. Enhancements to download more metadata. Changes to ToolTips. Changes to Customization.

Please read the menu ToolTips by hovering your mouse over it. The same for the Customization options.

As of this version, the only key metadata that the "new" LC is missing compared to the "original" LC that used 2 different now-unavailable APIs is the downloading of LCEAD into the #lcead custom column. LCEAD = "Library Codes Extra Author Details". Getting LCEAD has so far been a challenge without access to the Worldcat API, so I have saved it for last. Stay tuned.

Added: Version 1.0.58 - 2023-04-05 Enhancements to increase speed of execution of LC, plus other technical improvements.
