Would it be useful if you could choose between buying a book and getting it from the library… but you’d have to know if the book was actually *in* the library… and if it was out on loan, how would you know when it came back in? And you’d really want all that on one page….
This is amazing stuff, and Jon Udell is rightly being applauded for it. The tech’s not complex - just inspired. Take greasemonkey code, which pulls the library data into an amazon page, and use amazon’s wishlist to run the alert side. Brilliant - and shows the power of data standards to combine applications
