Groups Los Angeles Public Library (lapl.org) holds (requests) by status: Ready for Pickup, In Transit, or Pending. Instead of just listing the holds by status, this userscript groups them by status. For holds that are Ready for Pickup it shows for each pickup date: * The number of days you have left to pick up your holds. Remember that "a $1.00 fee will be charged if an item placed on hold is not canceled or picked up by the "Hold Until" date." * The day of the week when the holds are due to be picked up * The pickup date * and the number of items to be picked up by that date. This is then followed by the items due to be picked up sorted by title. For holds that are Pending I list the items by the ratio of available # of copies to queue position. This gives you some idea of the order in which your holds will be available. If the ratio is above 1.00 you can expect the hold to be available "soon" (within 3 weeks).

Customized Carrick Mundell’s LibraryLookup Greasemonkey script for the Seattle Public Library) to do the same for the Toronto Public Library. What’s it do? On any Amazon.com book listing page, the script inserts a hyper-link below the book title which, when clicked, will search for the book in the Toronto Public Library catalog. the Library Search Url and Library Name are now separate variables to make it a little easier to customized for other Library Systems. It does not work for the UK site. Why? Because the UK does not use the same class element names to give it a place to insert the html rewrite link. In fact, it only uses 2 class names on the whole item page. The Style Sheet and classes are there, they just don’t use them. Weird. This particular madness was kickoff by John Udell who started the LibraryLookup Project (http://jonudell.net/LibraryLookup.html) in 2002 (with bookmarklet’s). Many Thanks.

Google Books continue d'avancer et de se positionner comme un service incontournable : après avoir gagné la bataille de la vitesse de numérisation (même si la qualité n'est pas toujours au rendez-vous), après avoir gagné la bataille de la quantité (même s'il est très difficile d'obtenir des chiffres fiables), il s'intéresse aux fonctionnalités sociales gravitant autour du livre, en lançant "MyLibrary", un service de partage et d'annotation de listes de livres qui empiète clairement sur les plates-bandes d'Amazon et de LibraryThing, en permettant de tagguer les livres choisis et d'en faire la critique (book review).
