[Web4lib] re: WorldCat - libraries owning an item

Does anyone know whether there are plans for an API into WorldCat? I
know LibraryThing users would love to see at a glance what local
libraries have their book—much as LibraryThing tells you what users
do. Needless to say, I'd link to both their WorldCat page and the
split-frame WorldCat/library page.

If they don't plan on an API, would they mind a screen-scrape?
