The OpenURL standard is a standard for passing citation information.
It's not a standard for what the response from an OpenURL-receiving
standard will be.
But more than that, regardless of standards for passing the request, my
backend systems _do not maintain sufficient information to answer this
question_ for print holdings. I don't think my library is unique in
this, although it's also not universal.
