Many Wikipedia articles have an [[International Standard Book Number]] (ISBN) alongside the [[Bibliography|bibliographical]] entry for each book. Clicking on the [[hyperlink|linked]] 10- or 13-digit number allows readers to automatically check to see if that particular book is available in a [[library]] catalogue, at [[WorldCat]], at [[Google Books]], at major booksellers, or at other websites throughout the world.
An example of a bibliographical entry as a reference or a suggestion for further reading would look like this:
:*{{refbegin}}{{Cite book
| last = Carr
| first = Edward Hallett
| title = What is history? : the George Macauley Trevelyan lectures delivered in the University of Cambridge, January-March 1961
| publisher = Penguin Books
| isbn = 0-14-020652-3
| location = Harmondsworth; Ringwood
| date = 1972
}}
{{refend}}
The ISBN might lack dashes between the digits, or it might contain spaces between the digits, but it still provides the link. Note that different editions of the same book may have different ISBNs and books published prior to the 1970s do not have ISBNs, unless subsequently reprinted.
