I don't know. It seemed like the natural thing to do. Looking for new stuff to read I'd have an Amazon.com browser window open alongside my UCI and now UCSB library search. Thats so awkward though, I mean switching back and forth between windows too much work to see who had what. So I guess someone decided to make it easier. But hey it didn't work with UCSB's Aleph 500 based system. Well I'm bored tonight lets fix that, wasn't that tricky. Little tweaking batta bing batta boom. The UCSB LibraryLookup is spawned. That aint a hyperlink, drag it to your links bar on your browser (right click on your bar select links if you can't see it). Visit any online bookseller that sticks an ISBN in its book search URL., view the book hit the shortcut and see if UCSB stocks it. For questions, social implications, and other libraries poke around the instigators Mr. Udells page . I'm just happy to do my little part for UCSB and the Aleph 500 system. For you geeks modifying it to your Aleph 500 library the only variable you should have to mess with in my version script is of course the root server name and the "base=yourlibrariesdatabase". Have fun. UPDATE...the script is working for some titles, others not...big mystery any ideas?
