Document delivery from the library catalogue

[Mark Stover]

To build on Tony Barry's interesting ideas about Web-enabled online library
catalogs, I wanted to share our experience in adding value to the Web-based
catalog.

We developed links from each book's ISBN number in our library catalog to
the Amazon bookstore.  Since we are members of Amazon's Associates program,
each time someone travels through our catalog to Amazon and purchases an
Amazon book, we get a small kickback (up to 15% of the book's price).  It
doesn't happen very often, but it's cool when it does happen.
