I don't know much about openworldcat vs fancy first search worldcat either so I poked around a bit. It looks like the CIA is actually listed in the results for that dvd in worldcat.org, but they sort their results by distance and first search by your home state and then alphabetically, so for me (being in CA) they came up as #38 and were on the 4th or 5th page of results. http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/49560789&tab=holdings&loc=91711&start_holding=31#tabs Now you've got me wondering what other things they've got in their library... great post! who knew the CIA would be in worldcat?
