Defunct as of April 2018, repo is archived for future reference.
The problem this tool attempts to solve is the inability to quickly answer the question, "Can I check out this book on any the online resources available with my library membership?". Instead of spending 10-20 minutes searching each app individually, it should be possible to programatically search all legitimate catalogs for a specific title, author, or keyword.
As of March 2018, initial targets include:
- Hoopla
- RBDigital
- Overdrive
- Search all sources for a given title, author, or keyword, and return a list of results, including availability.
- Link Goodreads ratings of each book to the results as well.
- Automatically check out selected books.
