I’m using the Firefox extensions LIbX and OpenURL Referrer now, and they’re great. I’m going to try adding COinS data when I mention a book or article. LibX will turn the ISBNs into live links to a library search. It uses xISBN! OpenURL Referrer will give you some kind of extra button that will do a library search.

  • FRBR: A Guide for the Perplexed by Robert Maxwell (ISBN 9780838909508)
  • Understanding FRBR: What It Is and How It Will Affect Our Retrieval Tools by Arlene Taylor (ISBN 9781591585091)

What that looks like to me:
