An 'international my-library bookmarklet service'
How hard could this be?
The browser already identifies the country of origin
Get the user to enter a zip/postal region code/locality
National libraries could have a 'resolver' that took the location and
forwards it on to the appropriate library.
This could be done internationally - all from the one
bookmarklet/embeddable bit of html ala Amazon.
I'm sorry - this doesn't seem that hard. It would be cheap to build and
inexpensive to run. Why weren't we doing this 5 years ago?
