[Web4lib] Wikipedia citations directly from the library catalog

[Lars Aronsson]

Look up any book in the union catalog of the Swedish national 
library, say Clay Shirky's "Here comes everybody", 
http://libris.kb.se/bib/10701971

If the page displays in a strange language, click "in English" at 
the top.

Now, just under the title and ISBN, there is a light blue field.  
Click on the "Cite" button.

Up comes a list of cut-and-paste ready citations in styles like 
Oxford, Harvard and BibTeX.  At the bottom is the news: The 
"bokref"  (cite book) template used in the Swedish Wikipedia.

Among the template parameters are isbn=978-1-59420-153-0
and libris=10701971, the number found in the URL.
