Books in your language

Many countries have national libraries with web services that provide metadata (mainly of local books). Most of these services use the SRU protocol developed by LoC. It is very easy to grab for instance isbnlib-bnf and make a new plugin for books in your language. A list of libraries that use this protocol could be found here (https://www.bibliotechzw.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/z3950-server-list.pdf).
