So, I still haven't figured out how to get the holds working in the Greasemonkey FCLlookup script . Regex's and scripting aren't exactly my forté.
But -- I've now adapted Ed's adaptation of the moviedudescript for the Farmington Community Library: FCL Movie Dude. I've left the Ann Arbor link in there as a means to compare the two catalogs. That's my own preference - as I'll be writing a paper later which requires the comparison of two OPACs, and may settle on these two.
The FCLGooglebooks script is now available as well.
Grandma had asked for an explanation in english as to what I've been talking about. The best I can do for you Gma is to tell you that in order for any of this to make sense -- you need to be running the Firefox browser with the Greasemonkey extension installed...
If you read through those pages -- and follow the directions...You'll probably be able to grasp the concept. If not -- next time I see you -- I'll show you an example. Last but not least -- for these scripts to be somewhat meaningful - you probably want to be a patron of the Farmington Community Library.
I'm gonna keep at this "Beginning Javascript" book -- and try to hammer out these Regex's for the holds variable -- and until I do that - I'm gonna hold out on placing these up on the userscript site. Maybe I'll come across one already working on a similar HIP catalog...until then -- yada yada yada....
