Um, Peder? You do know that everyone in Texas can access WorldCat directly, right? Either in it's native format or through the simpler interface at LibraryofTexas.org. Also Academic Search Premier, HeritageQuest, and about 40 other commercial databases that are licensed for statewide access through the State Library.

The new "worldcatlibraries.org" listings in Yahoo and Google only show very popular works that are held by over 100 libraries, so it isn't a very vialble tool for finding obscure texts on medieval topics.
