National Library Tips and Tricks

I am absolutely giddy with excitment with this discovery.

Let's say you are at amazon.com and you see a book that you like. You want to check to see if it is available at the National Library, so you have to open a new screen, type in the National Library webpage address, load up the catalogue, type in the title, etc. and wait for the results.

Did you know that you can shorten all of the above into a single step by installing NLB's bookmarklet? It is fantastic! Just click a single button and you will know if it is available at the Library, at which branch, and if it is on loan!

Install the bookmarklet from here.
See detailed step-by-step instructions here (thanks mel)
And read about other NLB tips and tricks here.

I'm going book-surfin' now!
