Import into LibraryThing

I use LibraryThing to keep track of all my books, digital and print. In Libronix I could do an export and get a listing complete with ISBN numbers. Does anyone know if there is a way to get and export with ISBN numbers. I use LibraryThing so I don't buy duplicates.

Thanks in Advance.

I don't know about ISBN but see https://wiki.logos.com/Bibliography

I used this method to create a small collection so that I could mess around with the citation styles. The ISBN is not included in any of the listed citation styles. You may still be able to do a librarything import on titles. You can use the collection print function to "print" to an Excel spreadsheet and then save it as a .CSV file for import purposes.

Looking at the LibraryThing .CSV format it looks like the only matching info from the citation styles would be Tile, Author and Date of Publication.

I imported a 30 book sampling to see how it comes through. You can check it out on my books here:

I am not to happy with the results so far. I plan to continue to look for a better method.

Thanks, I have been playing with a Title and Author Import. The problem I am having now is my export to Excel is failing less than halfway through my library, a little over 8,000 books.

Did you guys get this to work? I did the export to CSV so I have title and auth but LibraryThing is not finding anything on the import.

I never got it to work. It did in Libronix, but not in the newer versions.
