Research books before you buy

If you're at a library or book store and want to know more about a particular book like reviews and prices online, LibMob will give you the info you need. All you need is to give LibMob the ISBN (the barcode number) or a book title.

LibMob has interfaces for iPhone, SMS, and most cell phones with web access.

Lastly, you can also get book information by sending a text message with the ISBN or book title to LibMob. Just text LIBMOB [ISBN or book title] to 41411.

For example, to get information on Dark Tower 5 by Steven King, text

LIBMOB 0340827173

or

LIBMOB Dark Tower 5

to 41411.


What is an ISBN and where can I find it?

The International Standard Book Number (ISBN) is a unique numeric commercial book identifier. You can find the ISBN by looking at the barcode on the back of the book. The ISBN is the top row of numbers. In the example above, the ISBN is 9783161484100. When using LibMob, you should just send the ISBN numbers, not the dashes.
