I would like to add a link to IMDB for the feature films that we have in our
catalog. IMDB doesn't appear to have ISBNs. Is there a way to link the MARC
record with the IMDB record without manually searching IMDB to find each

little app that returns the IMDB title stem (ex: tt0460791) for each of the
films you're trying to match up.

These are in 856 fields, and I doubt there was any automated process
to add them, which means catalogers manually added them.
