There has been some discussion on the list about WorldCat local,
there is an article in Information Today by Barbara Quint "OCLC's
WorldCat Local: A Promising Development for Library Patrons" for
those interested.

<http://newsbreaks.infotoday.com/nbReader.asp?ArticleId=35939>

Disclosure: someone will probably mention I'm from OCLC, but I
haven't work with the WorldCat local team nor worked on the
WorldCat local project.  Just providing some non-OCLC information
on the topic being discussed that I'm aware of.
