QuickScan Book Leveler

Better book identification from the barcode, and more reading levels looked up rather than estimated. - Special editions and book-fair printings — A title that carries an edition note in parentheses, such as a movie tie-in or a cover variant, is now searched on the book's own title. A title that appears as the second half of an ARBookFind entry matches too, so a book that has a quiz no longer comes back with nothing. - Authors the catalogues spell differently — An ARBookFind entry credited surname-first, or under a shorter form of the first name, now matches the author your scan found. A book credited to more than one author is tried under each name, not only the first. - A second source when the first comes up empty — Scholastic Book Wizard is now consulted for a title and author after the other sources, and an entry that carries no real title, or that lists the publisher where the author belongs, is passed over rather than accepted. When Scholastic names a book ARBookFind missed, the reading level is looked up again under that title. - United States or United Kingdom — Settings now carries an ARBookFind site choice under Reading Levels. Pick United Kingdom if your school uses the UK catalogue, and the next scan searches it. - A cover for a book the barcode cannot place — When a lookup comes back with no cover, QuickScan looks one up by title and author. A book with no ISBN no longer takes its cover and levels from another book, and any book that already did has them cleared and looked up again.
