Jill,
If you want to pull the bib and item details from the III database, our
library is running a utility that does that using the bibnumber as the
lookup key.
Your Aquabrowser install has a 'Request Item' button and a permalink
that contains the III bib number (e.g. b231527). So you could write a
little JavaScript to parse out the bib number and then pass that to a
web app that gathers user input and sends the SMS.

2) code for the server side app using the Python webpy framework -

3) Majax2 from Godmar Back of VA Tech which does the III parsing -

I just came back from IUG and am pretty excited about adding the ability to
text bib information. We are looking into adding the app to our Innopac
results.... But we also use Aquabrower as a front end. I'm wondering if anyone
in Code4lib Land has a text message app working on Aquabrower and how it works.
