find Dewy better

When I scan in the barcodes or type in the ISBN Bookpedia can find the title and summery of the book but often times it fails to find the Dewy catalog number for books. Could you link it up to a better library data base like WorldCat so I don't have to keep having to look up the catalog numbers and entering then manually.
Thanks!

You're using the LOC site for searches, correct? Could you give us a few examples of titles where the search didn't return a Dewey number so we can look at those on the LOC site? Thanks.

Thank you for the link to worldcat, it seems a promising tool. Their API is currently limited to institutions but will send them an email and see if they have open access planned for some time in the future.
