{{Infobox Website
| name = OttoBib.com
|author=Boswell, Wendy}}</ref> Each query also generates a [[permalink]] which can be used to recall the bibliography without reentering the ISBN data. The site is a [[metasearch engine]], integrating data from several sources, including the U.S. [[Library of Congress]] API, the [[Amazon.com]] database of books, and [[ISBNdb.com]].
OttoBib.com was started as a hobby project in 2006 by Jonathan Otto, a 4th year undergraduate at the [[University of Wisconsin-La Crosse]], USA<ref>[http://www.neobinaries.com/apps/Category/Search%20Engines/OttoBib.aspx Web 2.0 Application Listings] —-- About the company</ref>. It was originally called "That's Crazy Hot!" but the name was quickly changed to OttoBib because the original title was "not suitable for the academic environment and consequently won't take off."<ref>[http://jonathanotto.com/ottobib OttoBib Blog]</ref>
The original inspiration for the site came from [[Seth Godin]]'s January 3, 2006 blog post on "Stuck Systems", where he wrote:
