While it is nearly impossible that you haven't been asked this question multiple times, I cannot find it using Search.

It seems like extracting the Classification in Publication (CIP) data would be a logical follow-on to your plugin. It could provide LCC, DDC, and LCCN in custom columns.

I know that the Library Codes plugin gets LCC and DDC data, but sometimes it finds nothing when the CIP data is available on one of the first few pages. That is because it is looking up the book using ISBN or WI numbers on an external site.

It would be nice to be able to select the books that come up dry and be able to run a check for the CIP data. Or, to get the CIP data while extracting ISBN so that it is there (where possible) before the LC plugin is even run.

Thoughts?

And thank you for an extremely valuable plugin!
