Request: Fields for Dewey and LoC cataloguing #589

I would love to see if this can be implemented. I use the app as an interface for finding my books' physical location on shelves as well as an inventory, and I confess I use Dewey for a large portion of it. If there could be a visible field on the book details page that displays the Dewey or LoC, I believe that would be useful for those with large collections. I'm not certain if the data for the field can be pulled from the current sources, but then again, it could always be manually populated if necessary.

Library of Congress would be great. I realize that it is US specific, but it's quite comprehensive for works in English, at least. I would like to be able to add books by LoC, as well-- many older books have LoC printed on the flyleaf, but no ISBN.
