Lib20 Library Toolbar

Back to Innovation Directory Listing

The Lib 2.0 library toolbar (L2) is a greasemonkey extension which adds a bunch of additional functionality and information to most online library catalogs.

Currently, it:

  • Grabs book jacket and review information from Amazon
  • Grabs price information from Amazon, Abebooks, Powell’s and others
  • Deep-links item to worldcat.org
  • Uses xISBN to find alternate content for items that Amazon doesn’t sell (such as eBooks).
