Answer

You may search Acorn or DiscoverLibrary by ten-digit or thirteen-digit ISBN (International Standard Book Numbers) numbers simply by entering the ISBN number in a keyword (WORDS anywhere) search.  ISBN numbers are unique and included in most, if not all, database records for the library's books.  When searching by ISBN, be sure to omit spaces and hyphens.
