OCLC's Search API will do this 
(http://www.oclc.org/developer/develop/web-services/worldcat-search-api/bibliographic-resource.en.html);
 not sure about the Discovery API which will eventually replace it.

Given an OCLC member code, such as BXM for Boston College, is it possible to 
use some sort of OCLC API to search WorldCat (or some other database) and 
return information about Boston College? —Eric Lease Morgan

Try something like this:

http://www.worldcat.org/webservices/registry/lookup/Institutions/oclcSymbol/OHS?serviceLabel=enhancedContent

Seems to me I messed with this sort of info some years back in an effort to
gather info about libraries in my consortium and found so much
redundant/outdated info that I wound up resorting to other methods to get
what I needed.
