... just Snap! & Go

The Contra Costa County Library won a BALIS Innovation grant to develop "Snap & Go" mobile technology. The “Snap & Go” project will allow Contra Costa County residents with mobile phones and a library card to access library materials and enhanced content by taking a picture of a barcode (a QR 2-d barcode) and to manage their accounts without having to visit a library building or gain access to a computer. Click for more on the Snap & Go project!

Library Lookup Bookmarklet for Firefox

Browse websites like Amazon, Barnes & Noble, BetterWorldBooks, etc. and see if your library owns a copy of the book.

Install in Firefox:

• Enable the bookmarks toolbar:
View > Toolbars > Bookmarks Toolbar

• DRAG (seriously, don't click) this link: CCCLib Lookup to the Bookmarks Toolbar.

On a page like this: tinyurl.com/n6potc click the CCCLib Lookup button in the Bookmarks Toolbar. The Library Catalog web page opens, showing if the Library has the book. Any site that has the book's ISBN in the page URL will work. If you get a blank page with a number, this means that an ISBN isn't in the URL.
