The example below uses a JavaScript to display bibliographic details about an item in Plymouth State University’s library catalog.
Now imagine this link included information on the availability of the item, and a button to request or reserve it….
This post is intended to demonstrate how library catalog data can be used in places far from the catalog, perhaps in Blackboard/WebCT, blogs, or elsewhere. I’m at the Innovative Users Group 2005 Conference, where I’ll use this post in my presentation on XML Server, session L5.
