FAQ
What’s an ISBN? What is the difference between ISBN-10 and ISBN-13?
You may use ISBN to locate the book that you want via Amazon.com or Amazon.co.jp, as well as your local libraries. Try it!
Defined by ISO 2108, International Standard Book Numbers are a unique identifier assigned to each edition of every published book and book-like product. After January 1, 2007, ISBN’s will be a 13-digit number, as opposed to the older 10-digit format.

What’s NLB Call No?
NLB Call No stands for National Library Board Call Number. You may visit the library and search for the book that you want using the NLB Call No. I am not sure if it will work for libraries outside of Singapore, please let me know if it does.
For library materials, a corresponding call number is given for every search item. These call numbers are assigned based on Dewey Decimal Classification system, which the Library uses to categorise and shelf its books.
