Why Am I Seeing “A Title Under This ISBN Already Exists” in Bookvault?

You may see the following message when trying to add a title:

“A title under this ISBN already exists on your account. Please supply a LibID if you wish to update.”

This warning appears when the ISBN you are trying to add has already existed on your Bookvault account.

If the title is no longer visible in your account, it may have been deleted previously.

When a title is deleted from Bookvault, the ISBN cannot simply be reused to create a new title.

Yes.

If you need to recover an ISBN that was previously used on your account, contact the Bookvault team and provide the ISBN you want to recover.

The support team can then arrange this with Bookvault’s IT team.
