I tried to find the following resource, which is available in GVI:

Social psychology
Michener, H. Andrew
DeLamater, John D.
XXII, 631 S Ill., graph. Darst 24 cm
9780155041288
Fort Worth [u.a.] : Harcourt Brace College Publishers 1999
4. ed

I tried several searches for external resources (Titel, Author and Titel, Titel and Publisher, ISBN), the right suggestion never turned up. When searching for the ISBN, which should be the most precise option, I didn't get any results at all.

First of all, there seams to be something wrong with the GVI search. With "michener delamater social psychology" I found the suggestion
Göbel, Christian; Ong, Lynette H.: Social unrest in China, Europe China Research and Advice Network.
in GVI, but not the right one (above).

Second, I'd suggest to make ISBNs generally searchable. Even if they are usually not contained in the bibliographies, it still makes it easier to retrieve a known item that you might have already located in a separate source.
