The following link implements a slider, and I thought such a metaphor
would be a good one for any number of library interfaces:

1. For example, it could be used to "gauge" a Find More Like This
One function. Move slider up or down. Return a higher or lower
integer. Use integer to set an upper bounds or lower bounds of items
returned from a call to xISBN or LibraryThing ISBN.
2. Another example might be with Did You Mean? Move slider up or
down to determine the number of possible spelling (or thesaurus)
suggestions returned.
3. Here's a third one. Move slider to show more or fewer details
from a bibliographic records. At one end of the spectrum is just
identifier. At the other end of the spectrum is a full record.
I think the idea of a slider is cool as well as kewl. How could I
implement something like this easily?
Hi Eric,
Do a google search for "ajax slider" and you'll find lots of
implementation with demos
Here's just one example of a javascript/php/ajax implementation:

Take a look at the Sliders page on the Ajaxian wiki at:

Go down to the real world examples page and try the Amazon Loose
Diamonds link.
