sworldcat

worldcat -isbn {scrapeisbn1 ${kw}} -where ${where=19460}

Mashes up worldcatlibraries.org and ISBNdb.com. Takes a keyword 
input with the -kw parameter, scrapes the first returned ISBN 
from ISBNdb.com and uses it to run a WorldCat "Find in a Library"
search with using the -where parameter as a location. You may use a 
ZIP code, city, or state name. 


Example: 
       sworldcat -kw ehrenreich "nickel and dimed" -where 10025
...will give you a list of copies of Barbara Ehrenreich's _Nickel 
and Dimed_ near ZIP code 10025. 

Note that if multiple editions of the same book exist and are 
catalogued on ISBNdb.com, the search will simply return the 
ISBN of the first book without letting you know. If your keywords 
return no hits on ISBNdb.com, you will get various error messages.
