I Wonder if UE Libraries owns this book...
If you have ever wondered if UE Libraries owns a book while browsing in Amazon.com, bn.com or other online booksellers, WONDER NO MORE!
All you need to do is create a bookmark in your browser (Explore, Firefox, Netscape, whatever) with this as the code: javascript:var%20re=/([\/-]|is[bs]n=)(\d{7,9}[\dX])/i;
if(re.test(location.href)==true){var%20isbn=RegExp.$2;void(win=window.open
('http://library.evansville.edu'+'/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?SAB1='+isbn+'&BOOL1
=all%20of%20these&FLD1=ISBN%20(ISBN)&DB=local&CNT=25','LibraryLookup',
'scrollbars=1,resizable=1,location=1,width=575,height=500'))}
NO BREAKS OR SPACES! Only added to facilitate reading.
Don't forget to give it a memorable name, like IN ACE? or Book at UE?.
When you are looking/browsing/shopping for books, and the ISBN is on the page (very important!), select your bookmark. ACE Catalog will run a search for that title in a new window. Be sure to have Pop-Ups allowed!
Troubleshooting
1. Not all books have ISBNs.
2. Hardcover vs. paperback -- books get published in various ways. UEL might own the hardcover, paperback or school/library edition of a title. Multiple searches of the assorted ISBNs might be necessary.

Huh? Do i post all that code on the address line or something? By bookmark do you mean a favorite in internet explorer? Sounds really cool, but I can't get it to work.
