Amazon SLC Library Lookup greasemonkey script
If you live in Salt Lake City, and you like the library, and you use Firefox, boy do I have a script for you! Amazon SLC Linky is a greasemonkey script for amazon.com that will query the SLC Library database and insert a link to the library's page for whatever book you are browsing on Amazon. Here is a screenshot of the script in action. You can see the link beneath the book title. If the book is currently checked out, it will tell you when it is due back.
To use this script, you need to install the greasemonkey extension for Firefox. Once that is installed, click here to install the AmazonSLCLinky script. You will see a button in the upper right hand corner of the page to install the script. After that, every time you browse a book page on Amazon an appropriate link will be inserted into the page for the SLC Library's page for that book.
Note: This script is largely based on Carrick Mundell's script for the Seattle Library. SLC uses a different database system than Seattle, so there may be a few bugs that need to be worked out. Be sure to let me know if you spot any.
