Request a library book...via Amazon
Merlin Mann | Sep 16 2004
Jon Udell: LibraryLookup (Build your own bookmarklet) I still can’t get over how cool this is. Jon Udell’s little wizard lets you generate a bookmarklet for requesting a library book—based on the Amazon page you’re currently viewing. It’s clearly a flawless lifehack. You just need to know your library’s URL and which system your own city uses (which Jon makes simple by providing preview links to see which style your system seems to follow). San Francisco folks, use “ I’ve combed through my Amazon wishlist over the past month and have been able to find almost 20 books I was going to buy—all of which have since been shuttled from SF’s many branch libraries to the cozy little outpost just beyond my front yard. Top 10 hack, Jon. Many thanks. 20 Comments

I created my own customized bookmarklet that opens two windows (or tabs), one for my local library and one with a price search using AddAll (AddAll & APL Bookmarklet). It's probably not useful to anyone but me, but it could easily be customized to search other libraries. Also on the subjects of libraries, I recommend reading a PC Magazine article titled Your Library Online, about online library resources. I regularly use the library databases to read magazine articles online, especially when there is one article that interests me in a magazine that I wouldn't otherwise buy. Also, consider donating some of the money you save to help your local library, many of which are struggling lately. » POSTED IN:
