 +====Find it at the Library Bookmarklet====
 +Jon Udell created a neat little tool to allow OPAC users to search for library holdings from Amazon.  This bookmarklet (which looks like a bookmark, but is actually a piece of JavaScript that builds a URL based on the ISBN scraped from the current Amazon page) resides in the Bookmarks Toolbar (at least in Firefox); to use it, click on the bookmark while viewing a book page in Amazon.  See http://weblog.infoworld.com/udell/stories/2002/12/11/librarylookupGenerator.html for more details.
 +
 +
 +===Installing the Bookmarklet===
 +To install the bookmarklet, create a new bookmark with the following target.  Change the "url_base" to your OPAC's domain, such as "www.gapines.org" or "demo.gapines.org" and place the bookmarklet in the Bookmarks Toolbar.  You can also drag one of the links below to the Bookmarks Toolbar.
