Question

Is there a Voyager index that converts an ISBN-10 when only ISBN-13?

Answer

ISB3 index normalizes an ISBN-10 to an ISBN-13. The display heading remains as is, but the normalized heading is ISBN-13.

Example:
ISBN=1561635308
In BIB_INDEX table, this will create a row for ISB3 index with the following values for its headings:
BIB_INDEX.DISPLAY_HEADING : 1561635308
BIB_INDEX.NORMAL_HEADING : 9781561635306
