If anyone would like to help Andrea and I with a little Library Lookup app of our own, we’d sure appreciate it. Full details are over on her site. I’m aware that this issue was almost dealt with a few months back and OCLC even has their own bookmarklet page but this is a little different. It combines the bookmarklet whizbang stuff with an OCLC query to take the user from Amazon right to a list of regional libraries. Sometimes you don’t know which library has your book and often time, you don’t know which one to ILL it from. Handy? Sure, if we can get it working right.
