Automatically receive notifications when a book you are viewing on an online bookstore is available at a library near you, with this handy and unobtrusive extension.
Our libraries are a fundamental part of our society, but how many times have you bought a book online, and not even considered that you may be able to borrow the book for free at a library just around the corner?
If you are a student, bookworm, occasional reader, parent of small children or try-before-you-buy-er and you buy books from one of the three major UK online book retailers, then this extension is for you.
Features:
* See libraries that stock a book (ordered by distance from your current location), get directions through Google maps and visit their website to reserve.
* Unobtrusive toolbar design that only displays on relevant pages.
* Provide a location or allow chrome to provide one for you.
* Read more, spend less.
Permissions:
* Storage – required to store your preferences.
* Location – required to filter libraries by shortest distance to you.
* Various websites - required in order to find and lookup the isbn to find a book in your local library.
* api.ourlib.co.uk - required in order to communicate with our online lookup service.
Extore is a team of professionals who are passionate about creating extensions for web browsers. This devotion also gives us opportunity to appreciate work of other people. We get inspired by useful, open source extensions made by developers all over the world. Our strong belief is that one should share helpful add-ons with others. That’s why we’d like to present you our ever-growing list of favourite extensions that have inspired us. Moreover, as you probably have already learned, sometimes struggling for the best brings an end to the good. Talking about add-ons it often turns out that an upgrade is worse then previous version. Also it can become really tricky to get back to the beloved version of your favourite extension. That’s why we’re going to make not only the latest, but all versions of our favourite (and we hope yours too) add-ons available for download. No more compromises, just stick to the version you really like!
