I Wonder if UE Libraries owns this book...

Back in 2006, I wrote a post about creating bookmarks in your browser which provide an easy way to search for books in ACE from online bookstores. What the bookmark does is pull the ISBN off the webpage and inserts it into a search in ACE.

For example, my IN ACE? bookmark:

The IN ACE? properties screen:


And the pop-up window with the search results:


Don't forget to enable pop-ups or this won't work!

Here is the code that makes the bookmark work. Paste it into its location box: code.
Right-clicking on the code link might even let you save the code link as a bookmark. Choose that option and give it a memorable name like IN ACE?

Caveat: books get published in various ways with different ISBNs. UEL might own the hardcover, paperback or school/library edition of a title. Multiple searches of the assorted ISBNs might be necessary.
