I have been promised by wikipedia that this website (http://isbndb.com/c/Library_Shelves/Dewe... will do just that, but when I input an ISBN number, I don't see that it shows the Dewey decimal number anywhere. Any other websites you know that will give this information would be great.
Where can I search for a book's Dewey decimal number by inputting its ISBN number?
Check out http://jonesboroinfo.net look in the bookstore area and you will find links there also you may try http://www.oclc.org, this is On-line Computer Library Center based in Columbus Ohio. If you can't search OCLC then submit to them and they should be able to offer answers.
Reply:University libraries and your more attentive public libraries will have on their on-line card catalog a "deatiled" or "staff view" when you look at an entry for a particular book. You local librarian should be able to help, as sometimes the staff view can be particularly meaningless if you don't know the Library of Congress orders of information.
The only caveat to this advice is that the library has to have the book in order for that information to be there.
Perhaps the best information is available via the Library of Congress itself, as their catalog provides ISBN, Dewey, and LOC numbers under the tab "Full Record" when you find your book. Check that out, yo!
