NAME
WWW::Scraper::ISBN::LOC_Driver - Searches Library of Congress's online catalog for book information.
SYNOPSIS
See parent class documentation (WWW::Scraper::ISBN::Driver)
REQUIRES
Requires the following modules be installed:
WWW::Scraper::ISBN::Driver Carp HTTP::Request::Common LWP::UserAgent Template::Extract
DESCRIPTION
Searches for book information from the Library of Congress's online catalog. May be slower than most drivers, because it must first create a session and grab a session ID before perforiming a search. This payoff may be worth it, if the catalog is more comprehensive than others, but it may not. Use your best judgment.
EXPORT
None by default.
METHODS
search()
Starts a session, and then passes the appropriate form fields to the LOC's page.
