There are various ways to add Google Book Search to the bib 
display.  What you have above won't do you any good unless there's 
more to the second script element somewhere (and the script element 
gets closed) -- you have to define bib_ISBN.  But assuming the rest 
of the second script is hanging around somewhere, put the two script 
elements in bib_display.html wherever you want to see the 
button.  (Or you can put the first script element (the one that calls 
previewlib.js) in the head element (by using the insertag_inhead 
wwwoption), and put the second script where you want the button.)
