A lot of books don’t have an ISBN, whether they are self-published, limited private runs, from a time before ISBNs, or not exactly books but part of a library in the same way.
It is already possible to add them on Inventaire, but right now the process is convoluted.
Current process:
Click on “Add books”
Click on “Search”
Click on “Work”
Type the title
Click on “Create”
Choose the language
Click on “Save” for the title
Click on “Create and go to the work’s page”
Click on “Add to…”
Click on “Select the edition to add to my inventory”
Click on “Add a missing edition”
Click on “Add an edition without an ISBN”
Click on “Edit” for the language because it didn’t keep the language from step 6
Click on “Create and go to the edition’s page”
Click on “Add to my inventory”
Choose options and click on “Validate”
This is far too much, especially when you have dozens of books to add.
I suggest something like:
Click on “Add books”
Click on “Search”
Click on “Work”
Type the title
Click on “Create”
Choose the language
Select “Edition without an ISBN” or similar
Click on “Create and add to my inventory” or similar
Choose options and click on “Validate”
I would even love a way to batch add those by just typing one title per line.
