Are you aware of a Worldcat.org pilot program that is making catalogs of
participating libraries available for searching through Google?
I checked the archives and didn't find a record of any discussion, but
I found it very cool. I was searching for cataloging info for an obscure
audiocassette and did a search using "find "---" library" and up pops
Worldcat.org.
I was then able to find the record at several libraries.
This is way cool! Here's the link to the Worldcat pilot program FAQs
page:

What a novel idea! Searching Google will actually guide users to a book
in a library! What will they think up next!
(Tongue firmly in cheek!)
