Yes, this has some value in itself.

Strictly spoken, the third stage isn't required.  You can fetch the
book records from libraries as the LoC using Z39.50 software.  Checkput
the YAZ toolkit provided by http://www.Indexdata.dk (it already comes
with some GNU/Linux distribution).

An example session goes as follows:

yaz-client
Z> marccharset auto
Z> open z3950.loc.gov:7090/voyager
Z> find @and @attr 1=4 code @attr 1=1003 lessig
Z> show

The more readable XML format is possible as well.

And then when copyright issues are cleared we can store the records in
a database; a specialized system is idzebra also provided by IndexData:
http://www.indexdata.dk/zebra/ .  Please, make use of such a
standardized system; don't try to invent "something better" ...
