2. In "New Book Entry" you can do one of two things; either you can put in the ISBN of your book, which will return only your exact book; or you can put in the title, the author, or both. the more information you give it, the more accurate your search will be.

If you used the ISBN, it will tell you your book was added to your library, or that there was an error, if the book could not be found by ISBN (A barcode scanner comes in super handy here! You can enter as many ISBNs as you want, and it will add them all when you hit "submit".)

3. If you put in the title, author, or title and author, you will get a page offering a selection of the closest matches to your book that could be found.
