I'm Dr. Joshua Schwimmer, a nephrologist and internal medicine physician in New York City. • Kidney Notes was the first active nephrology blog. (Trivia: Kidney Notes is so old that the National Library of Medicine still uses it as an example of how to formally cite blogs.) • Professionally, you can find me at Kidney.nyc. • Kidney Notes is for educational purposes only, not medical advice.

superamit: LibraryLookup is the bomb. It takes you directly...



superamit:

LibraryLookup is the bomb.

It takes you directly from an Amazon’s book page to its listing on your library’s website. From there it’s just a few clicks to place a hold or request!

Amazon’s 100x better for browsing books than your library’s site, so this gives you the best of both.

The LibraryLookup bookmarklet works with most libraries but you’ll need the Chrome plugin* for San Francisco.

Use your library!

p.s. Thanks to nickbaum for the book recommendation!

* You may have to do some convincing to get Chrome to install it.
