Atalib Bugs Squashed

Atalib is a greasemonkey script that adds Worldcat search results to amazon pages.

This weekend, I discovered a few bugs that needed fixing.

  1. If the name of the library contained a nonalphanumeric character, it would appear truncated in the atalib table; only the part of the name that came after the nonalphanumeric character would appear. For example, if the library's name was Texas A&M Library, it would be shown as M Library.
  2. If no distance data was provided for a library, the subsequent distances would be shifted up to fill in the gap, and the last library would be shown to have a distance of undefined. (I had no idea distances might not be provided for libraries!)

Both these bugs have been fixed in the newest version of the user script, which is available for download.

Details about the usage of atalib, and how to install it can be found on the original announcement.
