Quick links for a library not working

The quick link for Corvallis-Benton County Public Library was missing information. I edited it and added the MAGICNUMBER url constructions that work with our library. However, when I click the quick link from a books "work page" I get a sparse overlay with Confirmed holdings: "no editions found" followed by a Search by title link that takes me to Abebooks for some reason, followed by a long grid of cover images. I assume it should be showing some useful search links at least?

Let's use Shadow of the Wind as an example. The work page is https://www.librarything.com/work/5174/275259598. The ISBN13 on that page is 9780143034902
My library ISBN construction is https://corvallis.aspendiscovery.org/Search/Results?type=ISN&lookfor=MAGICNU.... That should resolve as https://corvallis.aspendiscovery.org/Search/Results?type=ISN&lookfor=9780143... which sucessfully finds the book in our library catalog.

Am I doing something wrong, or have I found a bug? Thanks in advance.

Will look into this.

For some reason this library had gotten associated with an Abe Books store, so that was being used instead of the catalog urls.

I was thinking I could delete and re-create it. There is a lot of warning around the deletion process. Is there any reason not to proceed? Thanks.

>4 chaws: It should be fixed now. Deleting and re-adding will make it disappear from everyone's list who may have it favorited.

Thanks very much. A title search takes me right to it. Incidentally if you have tips on how to expose our holdings to LibraryThing, I'd be interested (the Confirmed holdings section returns "Holdings not exposed to LibraryThing."). Consider this solved, however!
