I have a greasemonkey script for linking from an Amazon page right into the catalog, to see if the library owns something, but it’s an ISBN search an so misses other editions. Other book content services like Novelist and Bookletters can also do the same thing, or will try title/author combination, which is also not flawless. I’m looking forward to full FRBRization.

I just tried configuring it for the High Plains Library District in Colorado (http://bit.ly/9rr0zf) and it appears to work great. The only problem I see is it will only look for a specific edition. I’ll have to think awhile to see if there’s a way around that.
