Would it be possible to add the JISC Library Hub Discover https://discover.libraryhub.jisc.ac.uk to the sources searched when adding books, please?
It's the successor to COPAC, and I think there were technical reasons why COPAC could not be searched, but perhaps these are overcome by the new service. It covers 172 UK and Irish academic, national & specialist library catalogues, so is a very comprehensive source

I've since discovered the new book sources page on the wiki and have added it (though the last suggestion there was made in 2018 - I hope it's still watched)

If you can find the Z39.50 access information, I'm sure the group that adjusts the sources could add it.
When a source does not offer Z39.50 access, the source is usually not able to be added.

I think we (the not LT staff) have looked at this and LT staff would have to sign up for the service. There is also some very clear language about non-commercial use of the MARC records from JISC.

There's a discussion about JISC here: https://www.librarything.com/topic/327098 (in the Group: Library Add Books Sources Maintenance)
