unit is optimally adapts
One of my classmates in Don’s Semantic Web Technologies class last semester hacked together a Greasemonkey script that looks to see if a book you’re viewing on Amazon.com is available in the UT libraries. This script is enormously useful, since UT’s online catalog is darn near useless unless you have the exact title of the book you want. With this tool, I can search using Amazon’s interface, then click through to the catalog entry.
Tonight I was looking for a book assigned in one of my classes. I couldn’t remember the title or the author (OK, maybe this tool makes you a little stupider, too.) but I remembered it was about gay culture and television, so I did a query for “Gay TV.” The first result was the book I was looking for, but I was disturbed when I found this item in the top results. I certainly hope it’s not circulating in the UT libraries.
