Amazon Seattle Public Library Linky

Search the Seattle Public Library Catalog from Amazon book listings.

Inserts a link below the book title on Amazon indicating the book's status at the Seattle Public Library. Click the link to go directly to SPL's online catalog information for the book.

Based on work by Carrick Mundell

Now handles the case where books are on hold.

v1.1 - Handles Amazon's new page format as of 6/19/08.
v1.01 - Handles new way 0 holds are displayed by SPL.

It works like a charm - thank you so much! I'm a doctoral student, and this script has saved me an enormous amount of time :-)

mkbrandt,

Amazon made a chance to their page format. Should be fixed with the 1.1 version.

Hmmm. I think the recent changes to the SPL site have made the script stop working :-(

Joseph,

Yes, you can change the libraryUrlPattern and libraryName variables to your local library and assuming they are using the same back end system it will work for you.

Rudi,

That is strange that it wasn't working for you and now it is. Glad it is working for you now and that is cool that you modified it for your local library.

Just thought I would mention I used a copy of your script slightly modified to support our local library (Columbus GA) since they use identical library systems...only minor modifications were needed to the name and search url.

Installed the script and tried it on the exact book displayed in example...it's no longer working.

Dumb newbie question here: Is it possible for one to modify this for their local library system?

Hi mmmike,

It is working for me on XP with Firefox 2.0.0.8. I don't know why it wouldn't be working on Mac OS X as well.

Hi, I just installed greasemonkey and the linky. Doesn't work, though! I'm on Firefox 2.0.0.8 and Mac OS X 10.4.10. Is the linky still working for other people?
