In the Relevance sort, UW holdings float to the top, followed by
consortial holdings, then all other WorldCat libraries. At the botton of
each citation on your results list, look for Held by: University of
Washington Libraries.
You did a very broad search, so this is not readily apparent. Try
"cryptographer hill" for a better demonstration of the holdings.
Also, the interface has our branding and the links at the top go to our
proxy server, QuestionPoint service, etc. In serial records, e.g., the
online access button goes to the UW link resolver.
