Very cool; works on our III catalog!

Nathan Mealy -- I also used the screenscrape method to get info we
needed for a couple of ISBN-based projects, not knowing at the time
about the yaz-z39.50-OPAC option.

By implementing this in the form of a web-service, I can switch the
work-horse code without affecting other apps, and minimize session
concerns.

(The returned json info is more comprehensible via view-source.)
