When searched WCL by the OCLC# 54350044 and got the
correct record, but when the holdings are viewed only one Summit library was
listed. Three other Summit libraries hold the book. Clicked on Worldcat
Libraries and sure enough, there were the other 2 libraries listed along with
everyone else.

CAS professional standards for higher education (7th ed). Summit says that Seattle U has the 6th edition, but prompts you to go to ILL for the 7th. When you check the Worldcat Libraries holdings, Seattle U is the first library in the list. Why isn’t the 7th ed. recognized as a Summit item? Seattle U’s catalog shows that the item is available and requestable.
