[IUG] Follow-up to LibraryThing ISBN problem

["Jon Dillon" <Jon dot Dillon at wwu dot edu>]

I just wanted to let everyone know that the problem with LT tags not
updating when navigating through ISBNs is now fixed! 

Here is what Tim Spalding had to say about the issue:

*****************************************************************
	The problem was exactly as speculated by Terry Reese. Most of
the time it's easy to pick out the ISBN, but when you do an ISBN-based
search and then decide to see the "next" ISBN, you get this problem.

	As he noticed, we screen out some common mistakes--the presence
of ISBNs in menus, for example, is common as a way of accessing past
searches. We've added some other conditions, such as preventing ISBNs
immediately after a lower-case "i." All told they screen out this
inadvertent ISBNs and restore correct-finding when you're paging through
ISBNs numerically. We try to keep our solution generally, but if
necessary we can tailor the searches for a specific page-type. We want
to make sure it matches, and matches correctly every time.

*****************************************************************
Thanks to all who responded to my inquiry.

Best,
Jon Dillon
