Application Functions and Features:

[1] Automatically creates new Custom Columns (if desired) for Dewey Decimal Code and/or Library of Congress Code and/or OCLC-OWI.

[2] Derives the desired Library Codes using a book's ISBN or ISSN or Author/Title [Selected Books].

[3] Optionally creates Library of Congress, VIAF.org, ISNI.org and Worldcat.org Identifiers whenever otherwise creating OCLC-OWI as an Identifier. This allows the use of hidden composite Custom Columns to be shown in the Book Details as a hot-link to the respective URLs.

[4] Optionally downloads 'Extra Author Details' (EAD) and updates a Tag-Like Custom Column with those values, if any. For Factual/Non-Fiction, they are true 'Author Details' plus (possibly) BISAC-Type Subject Headings. For Fiction, if they exist, the 'EAD' are (usually) more often BISAC-Type Subject Headings.

[5] Optionally Converts ISBN-10 to ISBN-13 [Selected Books]. This function will also automatically "sanitize" ISBNs to remove any dashes, etc. even if the ISBN is already an ISBN-13.

[6] Optionally Deletes All 'Non-Library Codes' and 'Non-ZMI' and 'Non-z*' Identifiers[Selected Books]. Example of Identifiers that will be deleted: Google Identifiers.

[7] Optionally extracts ISSNs from PDFs for Magazines and Periodicals. The other LC functionality then may be executed for the PDFs for which ISSNs were extracted. View the LC Menu ToolTips for more information.

[8] Optionally maps either a LCC or a DDC for each book to a 'Genre', and updates a Text custom column with that mapping. LC comes preloaded for DDC mappings, but a template csv file for LCC mappings is attached below.

Version 1.0.25 - 2016-05-25 Technical changes.
Version 1.0.24 - 2016-04-02 DDC Pie Charts

Version 1.0.20 - 2016-03-21 New: Updating of #genre (or any other text custom column) by mapping the DDC or LCC to Table _lc_genre_mapping, which is automatically seeded with over 2,470 DDC rows.

Version 1.0.14 - 2015-12-02 Many enhancements, especially to using 'OCLC-OWI" to retrieve 'OCLC' which in turn is used to retrieve 'LOC_LCCN'. Menu and ToolTips changes. BISAC-type LCEAD column data for Fiction is now retrieved (Non-Fiction already was).
Version 1.0.13 - 2015-11-30 New Identifier: 'LOC_LCCN', which is the 'Library of Congress-LCCN'. For books assigned LOC LCCNs after the year 1999, they (probably) have a permalink of: http://lccn.loc.gov/NNNNNNNNNN where the LCCN is a 10-digit number starting with the year (2NNN)
Version 1.0.12 - 2015-11-25 Technical tweak.
Version 1.0.11 - 2015-11-25 Additional LCEAD using OCLC. Most useful for Factual/Non-Fiction. Since the LCEAD column is Tag-Like, any 'commas' have been replaced with the very 'comma-like' Unicode symbol 'ˏ' that does not confuse Calibre.
Version 1.0.10- 2015-11-24 New Identifier: OCLC (Not the same as OCLC-OWI). OCLC is extremely useful in retrieving LCEAD data.
Version 1.0.9 - 2015-11-23 New Optional Custom Column: LC Extra Author Details (LCEAD), which is a Tag-Like column that is updated with additional author-related information. It is automatically updated when deriving DDC/LCC, but can be separately updated via its own menu option that uses OCLC-OWI to obtain the LCEAD values.
Version 1.0.8 - 2015-11-21 Deriving ISNI and LCCN Identifiers from VIAF Author ID: speed of download improved significantly.
Version 1.0.7 - 2015-11-20 New option to delete all non-Library Codes Identifiers.
Version 1.0.6 - 2015-11-20 2 New Identifiers: ISNI and LCCN (derived via VIAF Author ID) to enable hot-linking to ISNI.org and Worldcat.org, respectively. This is done whenever a OCLC-OWI Identifier is otherwise created.
Version 1.0.5 - 2015-11-19 Creation of 2 Identifiers, VIAF.org Author ID and Library of Congress Author Name ID, whenever OCLC-OWI Identifier is otherwise created. This allows the use of composite custom columns to hot-link to the respective URLs to view extended Author and Book information.
Version 1.0.4 - 2015-11-17 New option to convert ISBN-10 to ISBN13 for selected books.
Version 1.0.3 - 2015-11-16 New option to derive DDC and/or LCC indirectly using Author/Title via OCLC-OWI Identifiers for cases where ISBN is not useful or reliable.
Version 1.0.2 - 2015-11-13 Menu changes.
Version 1.0.1 - 2015-11-12 Technical tweaks.
Version 1.0.0 - 2015-11-03 Initial release.

I haven't been able to add a column for LCC. Would you show a screen shot for how it should be set up?
