Cataloging Tool
Charles Ledvina of the Outagamie Waupaca Library System has created a tool using Amazon to create MARC records from their XML data. Simply enter an ASIN number and the program will return a pretty good MARC record. He says "Beware of the subject headings."
There is also a greasemonkey script for Firefox.
