Just an odd thought that struck me today while updating a few entries in my catalog. When viewing book details, Google, Amazon, and Goodreads (via plugin, I suppose) all just show that they have an entry in the id field. ISBN numbers are the only ones that display the full entry instead of just saying "ISBN" or "ISBN-13" and giving an appropriate hyperlink.
