Hilary,
We have implemented in the OPAC links to Google Books, Amazon, WorldCat,
and table of contents (this in particular derived from PALNI
bibliographic records where the contents exist). The results page shows
these links when relevant to the material. We are looking at inclusion
on full-display screens as well. Here is an example URL:
http://hickory.palni.edu:4505/F/?func=file&file_name=find-b&local_base=plnhup
We are using a combination of methods to achieve this test enhancement
to our OPACs. Regards, Susan
