Cool Firefox Software: Amazon Pittsburgh Libraries Linky


The Amazon Pittsburgh Libraries Linky is a Greasemonkey script that inserts status information from the Allegheny County Library catalog into book listings from Amazon.com.

If the book is found in the catalog, this script will tell you whether the book is available, checked out, or on order, and how many other people currently have holds on it. See the example below, the line just under the bold book title.

Instructions for getting and installing the script, and Greasemonkey if you don't already have it, are located here: Pittsburgh Libraries Amazon Linky. Similar scripts for other libraries are also available: Userscripts.org: All scripts tagged library.
