LibraryLookup Bookmarklet

Minuteman Library Network
Drag the following bookmarklet into the toolbar of your Internet Browser
javascript:var%20re=/([\/-]|is[bs]n=)(\d{7,9}[\dX])/i;if(re.test(location.href)==true){var%20isbn=RegExp.$2;void(win=window.open('http://library.minlib.net'+'/search/i='+isbn,'LibraryLookup','scrollbars=1,resizable=1,location=1,width=575,height=500'))}

When you are on the Amazon page of an individual book (e.g., Practical Internet Groupware by Jon Udell), a click of the bookmarklet in the toolbar lands you on a web page of the Minuteman Library Network, telling you if the book is in the collection of the Network. If it is, regardless which one of the libraries in the Network owns the book or if the book is checked out, another click on the web page of the Network allows you to request the book. The book will be waiting for you some time later at the counter of a Library that you designate.
