Dan,

While having these bibs with located URIs display in an unscoped view of
the catalog is appropriate for the reasons you suggested, they should not
appear in a search limited to a specific library. In a recent example
provided by one of our libraries a search for Spanish Civil War, limited to
their library, produced 46 results, only 6 of which belonged to them. When
trying to help a patron find something locally or make a collection
assessment all the irrelevant bibs get in the way and tend to make them
cranky. My feeling is that URI located bibs should be treated like bibs
with copies in that they appear in scopes limited to the owning library or
in the unscoped view.
