Ever found a book online that you wanted, but didn't feel like taking the time to look in the CAT to see if the Libraries already owns it?

Problem solved! Highlight the 'Auto CAT lookup' link below and drag it to your links toolbar on your web browser. Then, go to Amazon.com or Barnes and Noble.com (Amazon seems to work better) and go to the specific page for a book of interest to you. Once you are on that page, click on the 'Auto CAT lookup' link (now on your toolbar.) What *should* happen is that another window automatically opens with results from the CAT showing you Penn State's holdings for that book. If a window doesn't launch when you click on the link, Penn State doesn't own it (or the book's ISBN number is not listed in the Amazon(or Barnes & Noble) page URL.

Give it a try, and let me know if it doesn't work for you.
