Then imagine that someone searches for a book via their favorite search engine and that a local library's "offer" appears in the same result list as the retailers. Where the retailer indicates price, the local library would indicate "free to borrow". Both would link to a service that closes the deal.

I feel a bit reluctant to define a "copy" class since not all holdings statements refer to individual copies. However, "Holdings" often refers to a group of statements about individual copies...
