Dear David, I believe they're codes for universities. UCSC is probably Univ of Calif Santa Cruz. UOM is University of Michigan. (You'll see STANFORD and OCLC in the results also, though OCLC is not a university).
I tracked one of items in the ATOM feed to the UM record: http://mirlyn.lib.umich.edu/Record/000680081/Details#tabs The ID you see in the ATOM feed is buried in one of the 974 fields of the UM MARC record.
