New xISBN bookmarklets supports thousands of libraries

xISBN bookmarklets now supports thousands more libraries by integration with Worldcat Registry. The previous xISBN bookmarket supports more than 300 libraries, however, the list was manually maintained and it's challenging to keep these links up-to-date, By ingesting good Registry OPAC information into xISBN bookmarklet, we are able to support thousands more libraries in a more sustainable way. xISBN bookmarklet automatically pulled new information from Worldcat Registry on a monthly basis, so if a library maintains up-to-date information in Registry, its data will be automatically reflected in xISBN bookmarklet. Furthermore, we have also developed mechanisms to validate and improve OPAC linking templates in Registry during the process. The previous xISBN bookmarklet is still maintained in http://xisbn.worldcat.org/liblook/
