Jon Udell has come up with a bookmarklet that is non-ISBN dependent that does pretty much what our little hack does. Plus, he talks about this whole REST-versus-SOAP debate where web services are concerned which is new vocabulary for me but worth learning. In old-school library news, a whole class of 4th graders said “No WAY!!” when I told them [and then showed them in the online database] that Tony Hawk was my age and had four kids.

Library Quarterly, online!
While I wasn’t looking, Library Quarterly went digital and has content online! This was brought to my attention when LISNews posted a story about the portrayal of librarians in obituaries but there’s a lot more there worth reading too like this article about public librarians’ attitudes about marketing. They’ll even send you the tables of contents over email, can RSS be far behind?
