Put Amazon books into your queue at the New York Public Library - automatically!
Ever see a book on amazon or bn.com and have the urge to buy it, but not sure if it will be worth buying? I do - all the time! Hence my wishlist keeps growing!
But I just found the lovely LibraryLookup tool which grabs the ISBN from any web page, and looks it up in your local library.
For some reason the New York Public Library link in the Innovative library list doesn’t take you to the place where you can reserve books.
A bit of poking around and we have a new link, so this is how it works:
1. Drag NYPL Library Lookup to your bookmarks bar
2. Find a book on Amazon or BN.com or any other place with an ISBN on the page.
3. Click the NYPL Library Lookup bookmark, and watch it find the book at the NYPL in a new window!
…magic.
