Search BPL using Bookmarklets: According to Wikipedia: "A bookmarklet is a small JavaScript program that can be stored as a URL within a bookmark in most popular web browsers, or within hyperlinks on a web page. We made some bookmarklets for easily searching our library catalog. Right click on the links below and add them to your favorites. In Firefox, you can just drag the links to your toolbar. The BPL Title search lets you highlight a book title on any website, click the bookmarklet, and it will execute a search for that title in our library catalog. ISBN and General Keyword search work the same way.

Read the Library's Bartlesville Bookmark Newsletter. The Bookmark comes out every other month, and is available online here.
