The Library Wishlist Toolbar Button

The Library Wishlist Toolbar Button is a button that you can add to your browser toolbar to be able to easily add books that you see to your library's wish list.

How it works

  1. You install the wishlist button on your browser toolbar. See here for installation instructions.
  2. You browse the internet on your favourite book sites (e.g. Amazon, Chapters, WTS, etc..), and when you see a book that you like, you click the "Add to Wishlist" button on your browser's toolbar.
  3. A form appears allowing you to select the book and add your own comments and tags.
  4. Click "Submit", and the book will automatically be saved to the Librarian DB database.

Using the Wishlist Toolbar Button

After the button has been installed, you can navigate to the book info page for any book on virtually any book website, and easily add that book to your wishlist.

Learning by Example

  1. Go to the Amazon page for the "Reason for God" book by Tim Keller here.
  2. Click on your "Add to Wishlist" button on your browser toolbar. Note that you may be prompted for a password. Please use your username/password for the Library Database.
  3. In the form that appears, select the first instance of "Reason For God" that shows up in the "Select Book" select list.
  4. This should fill in most of the fields with the associated information about the book.
  5. Edit or add categories or tags in the "Categories/tags" field. This field gives you auto-complete hints based on categories that currently exist in the system. Add as many as you like.
  6. Add comments, or modify any of the other fields, then click submit.
  7. You should receive a success message, with an option to view the resulting entry in the library database.

That's all there is to it.
