Search Your Local Library’s Catalogue

posted on July 19, 2007

Saw library lookup generator the other day via The Jaldous Journal. For those who don’t know, I am the systems administrator for the County of Lennox and Addington public libraries, so this little appletĀ  really caught my eye.

First off, you need to save it in your link bar as a hyperlink. Then when you are on a page with an ISBN number, click your link on your toolbar and in a window will pop up the book in your library’s website, provided they have the book.

For example, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows in our system is ISBN10 1551929783. When I click my applet I see our book in our library system. I can then login to my libraries system and place a hold on this book. Very handy as it will save you time not having to cut and paste.

The code for this bookmark applet for my library is

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://lennox.canlib.ca’+’/uhtbin/cgisirsi/x/0/0/5/?searchdata1=’+isbn,’LibraryLookup’,’scrollbars=1,resizable=1,location=1,width=575,height=500′))}

EnergizeIT – wrap up

posted on June 22, 2007

I am little slow on the draw to post this. I had something written up on the train but I blew it away when I reloaded the laptop with Vista. (oops.) I am sitting here on the ferry dock to Amherst Island on a beautiful afternoon waiting for the ferry to return, re-writing this. One of the libraries I support is in Stella which is on Amherst Island, and the ferry is the only way over there.

The next part of the day for me was the second Hands on Lab which was on Microsoft Forefront. Mitch Garvis was running this lab. When that was done, I headed back to the main hall and caught the last little bit about the next version of SQL. Then I collected my SWAG, spent a few minutes shooting the bull with Garth Jones, Kim Frank and a few others from the various user groups before heading out. David and I hit the Lonestar on Front street for a quick bite and some pops and then it was back on the train and back to Kingston for me.

Decent event which brings together the various IT types for a one day celebration of geek.

I just saw this in the Technet Flash and thought I’d pass it along. It is guidance for launching internal investigations into suspicious computer activity.

You can find website here. The page has the download for the guide plus links to some of the tools they use. Microsoft also provides links to publications and guides they used to develop this guidance.
