Chris Locke points to the googler’s WorldCat extension… in your Google search precede a title with “find in a library” and the good Doctor Google will do just that.

Little bit of synchronicity here is that I just tumbled to Book Burro (hat tip to the “tech-teach,” Liz Lawley).

Book Burro is a Web 2.0 extension for Firefox and Flock. When it senses your are looking at a page that contains a book, it will overlay a small panel which when opened lists prices at online bookstores such as Amazon, Buy, Half (and many more) and whether the book is available at your library.

Book Burro is cool and it’s got that WorldCat integration too.

Reading Scoble’s blog about his departure from MS, I realize how pissy my ho-humming it in the previous post might seem.  Robert’s earnest integrity, his unselfconscious self-absorbtion, his position as avatar of tech bloggers everywhere - all point to a more serious and credible context for this “one man leaves corporate gig for a well funded job with a small company” story.  So for anybody who is heavy into Scobleism as a faith or a political practice, I can only apologize for my small and perhaps demeaning sense of the story.

As for Liz Lawley, I wish her nothing but the best!
