This has a list of most common library products:

We need to check if they have good resources to scrape data from.

Okay, there are:

• OCLC (OPAC), which is the worst. NO way to create a search url
• Bibliocommons, which is rather nice
• Koha which is open source, but has no real list of libraries...the lists are rather wild
• Spydus. URL was a bit hard to find, but I figured it out, see Melbournes Merri-Bek, its on spydus.com
• winbiap.de , uses weird Base64 decoding
• Bibliomondo, used in Köln for example, and seems to be defunct as a company
• aStec, used in Munich and Berlin for example (https://www.astec.de/aDISWeb/app;jsessionid=F8AAC7F0A99F54C17D61A03DAB8BE788)
• Axiell Arena - Osnabrück nutzt das

(will add more when I find them)
