in QuoteLink, I do a trick, eventually I should enable the provider of your choice.
But basically

if (cite.startsWith("urn:isbn:")) {
                isbn = cite.substring(9).replace(/\-/g, "");
                cite = "http://openlibrary.org/isbn/" + isbn;
            }

You could replace the openlibrary provider, by wikipedia, olcl, etc.
If we had a good model for describing authors, title, etc, we could even have a pre-populated form, giving the information for things which are not yet existent in Open Library. The first persons clicking on the link would have the opportunity to add the book.
