Bug Description
The metadata input (click into a title, then edit metadata) has no control imposed upon it. I randomly entered a series of numbers for the isbn-10, and random characters in other sections and everything was accepted. I think it's important to control input for information integrity.

To be more specific in my comments, I was thinking:
-pull down options for such things as physical format, language
-controlling the amount of alphanumeric characters that can be entered into standard number fields
-decreasing the amount of available fields
-is GTIN, UPC, UCC, EAN-UCC all necessary?
-not sure what is suppose to go into title prefix field
-not sure what is suppose to go into work field
-do we need both a language field and a language code field?
-we should have a field for Library of Congress classification (at the moment we only have one for
dewey decimal classisfication)
-is LCCN field necessary?
-keep the ISBN-10 and ISBN-13 fields together (at the moment it is separated by UCC-13 field)
-give an indication as to which fields will appear on the book screen. I noticed that the bio field does not show up there.
