I find the mix of types of materials in WorldCat Local -- i.e., books,
serials, articles, etc -- to be quite interesting. I suspect that
U.Washington users are finding it very useful.
On the face of it, the article data seems to come from FirstSearch
ArticleFirst, but the very first record I looked at had a page number
error.

This wasn't enough that I was unable to find it (the rest of the
citation was ok), but it was off enough that the COinS-generated
openurl didn't resolve past the list of issues. I checked the same
record in the commercial ArticleFirst and the page number was wrong
there too.
This might just be some improbable happen-stance, but it makes me
wonder about the ArticleFirst citation data. This isn't a database I
normally use much.
