LibSearch Bookmarklet
====================
A bookmarklet that, when clicked, pops up a dialog to search a library catalog. By default, the text filled in the dialog is based on the title of the web page. Thus, for instance, if I'm on the Wikipedia page for [Bookmarklet](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bookmarklet) and I click the LibSearch link in my bookmarks toolbar, the dialog will default to "Bookmarklet" and I can search for that term in a library catalog.
Thank Stevens
-------------
This code is inspired by and heavily reuses code written by Barbara Arnett and Valerie Forrestal from the Stevens Institute of Technology. I tried to improve upon it a bit, including
- Rather than stripping out only the generic Wikipedia title, I strip out Wikipedia, Google, Bing, Yahoo!, Amazon, and Barnes & Noble.
- Fail-safe in case the web page's hasn't loaded when the bookmarklet is clicked.
- A few measures to make the script injection slightly more error-proof.
Customization
-------------
- Change the search URL in search-bookmarklet.js to your own catalog
- Change the title if you like
- Make a better marketing page
- ...that's it.
