Web OPAC enhancement
I have added javascript code to our ALEPH version 16 web OPAC to create a permanent link and a link to create a del.icio.us link. It works in the search results, full record display, and the holdings display. ALEPH allows the creation of permanent links. That was the basis for the javascript. It was modified by Nathan Fixler at the SUNY Office of Library and Information Services. I can read and sometimes even modifiy javascripts but this particlular code was beyond my skill level.
The catalog is at http://seneca.sunyconnect.suny.edu:4600/F if you want to try it. Here is one example of a tag created at del.icio.us:
http://del.icio.us/babyboomerlibrarian/Morrisville_Libraries_LIS
Let me know what you think about this.

Bill, thanks for showing the way. Worked just fine. I'd like to see the del.icio.us boxes icon, I had to search for the link. Also how about adding other services, I like FURL and LibraryThing, but Connotea, and others may be more useful in an academic environmnet.
Very good idea!
What about pre-filling del.icio.us' "title"-field with author and title of the book etc.? And what about showing the already given tags - even before you hit the tag-button?
