I've got an off-topic query. Is anyone on the list aware of how we may utilize the OCLC API for WorldCat to create a query form/engine that could determine the holding libraries for a particular title/volume? We are an Illinois library that wants to streamline a weeding workflow that determines whether a title may be the last copy in the state. It would be great if we could extract a list of OCLC numbers and run a query in OCLC to determine if we are the last holder. I recognize that this may miss identical volumes on other OCLC numbers, but it will be better than going item by item.
