2.1. New record
2.1.1. Adding a new record
Adding a new record is a two-screen operation : first PMB asks for an identification number (ISBN), but it is not compulsory to enter it. If a EAN is entered, it is converted into an ISBN.
2.1.1.1. Entering ISBN, EAN or commercial number
If the identification number entered corresponds to an existing work in the database, the bibliographic record is opened in edit mode directly. This allows you to avoid the duplication of records when cataloguing.
