Library Extension
Most of the time, when I'm interested in a book I'll head straight to LINKcat and do my searching there. Occasionally, though, I find myself on Amazon reading reviews of something I've heard about. In those cases, there is a handy browser extension that can quickly and easily tell me while I'm still on Amazon if the title is available in LINKcat or through Wisconsin's Digital Library (OverDrive) and provide links so I can hop over and place a hold. That extension is "Library Extension" and is available for Chrome, Firefox, and Edge.

Library Extension and many other very cool tools were covered in the Tech Days 2020 "Productivity and Technology" session. Recording, slides, and list of apps can be found here: https://techdayswisc.org/resources
Happy searching!
