Library Lookup bookmarklet: expanded uses
September 17, 2007 – 6:24 pmIt turns out that the bookmarklet I made for one-click ISBN searches at my local library system also works
1) from other bookseller sites in addition to Amazon.com (e.g., Barnes and Noble, but you have to search from one page higher, the 1st search results page, not the specific-edition book page). It’s all about where the site gives the ISBN such that the bookmarklet can feed it through to the library search engine.
2) From other windows browsers, better in some (Opera?) than others (Internet Explorer broke the one-click-ness for bookmarklets, but if it’s worth it to you, you can make it into a regular old pull-down bookmark sort of thing). Instructions for alternate browsers are at Jon Udell’s Library Lookup page (linked from my original entry).
