I find the greasemonkey script that cross-references our public library network (for books!) much more awesome and useful.

Here it is: http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/8432

A very minor tweak allows me to use it for Boston.

Care to share the 'minor tweak' to use it on Massachusetts' Minuteman Library Network?

[ChaitanyaSai → markbao]

Change libraryUrlPattern (first line in the function) in the script to the Minuteman Library Network's Catalog.*

For the Metro-Boston library, it is

var libraryUrlPattern = 'http://catalog.mbln.org/ipac20/ipac.jsp?index=.BN&term='

*-To edit the script after installation, open it using the Greasemonkey icon in your browser. Click on 'Manage scripts' to open scripts in an editor.
