 I tend to use Goodreads to keep track of books I want to read, and then periodically go through and request a bunch from the library.  I'd open up a bunch of tabs with books I want to read, open up a tab for the library, cut and paste titles and request them.

Well, maybe everyone else has already figured this out, but I just discovered that in addition to the links below a title on GoodReads that allow you to find it at Amazon and other booksellers -- you can add links for the BPL and the Minuteman Library Network.  (And Better World Books.  And Project Gutenberg.  And a whole lot of other good sources.)  

One click, the book comes up (well, mostly; some older books don't seem to be listed by the field they're using), I click "request", poof.

I feel like Cat on Red Dwarf.  "Book!  Book!  Book!  Book!  Book!"
