Whidbey Reads 2008
Wow - that was easy! This is way more fun than doing what I really should be doing - filling out that One Book grant form for next year's Whidbey Reads program. Anyways, thought I would blog my thoughts about Midwives here - started reading it (again) a few weeks ago but had to give up the copy for the Friends of the Library gift basket auction (a glass of wine - actually a bottle - a loaf of bread and lunch with Chris Bohjalian went for $65 - a deal, if you ask me since the bread was foccachia - still warm, hand baked by my husband). Copies are coming.... Meanwhile I'm reading Julie and Julia, Julie Powell's account of cooking her way through Julia Child's MtAofFC (in fact, mastering the art of French cooking) in one year while living in a pretty crappy apartment in Queens, New York. The story is about the blog she kept, and the "bleaders" who kept her going on her quest. It's cataloged 641.5092 - by far the funniest and most thought-provoking cookbook I've ever read - nary a recipe in sight.

Hey, the hyper-link to "Julie and Julia" is way cool and I want to try this on my blog. I am not sure how you go about this, and in the past I would copy/paste the URL (website address). This is more streamlined to just have the book title hyper-linked to the book record in Sno-Isle. I really like this. Can anyone share directions on how this is done. Thanks, Gwen
To create a hotlink to Sno-Isle catalog, use the URL from Aquabrowser, combined with the item number from the MARC record in the traditional catalog. The aquabrowser URL is always the same for each title:
aquabrowser.sno-isle.org/?itemid=default::CARL
to the end you add the 10 digit unique id from the Marc record 0094384470 (you might have to add the zeros at the beginning of the number to total 10).
