There's work being done to add the records to library catalogs as well
as to add them to worldCat. There are issues, of course, not the least
of which is that the cataloging rules require that the digitized copy be
given a separate record -- resulting in adding duplicate records into
the library catalog for every digitized book. Michigan has bravely
ignored this rule, and is adding the link to the digitized book onto the
record for the hard copy.
