There are no holdings attached to that record in OCLC. Therefore, WorldCat
would not list a copy. It looks like Swarthmore entered the record, but they
deleted their holdings for some reason. I believe it's OCLC's policy not to
delete records even if all the holdings have been removed.
Hope this helps.
Best,
Will

OCLC (WorldCat) will occasionally list an item as having one location
but the detailed entry does not list any copy, as for instance
http://firstsearch.oclc.org/WebZ/FSFETCH?fetchtype=fullrecord:sessionid=fsap
p11-45633-f98nf6lm-jab2mk:entitypagenum=11:0:recno=22:resultset=4:format=FI:
next=html/record.html:bad=error/badfetch.html:entitytoprecno=22:entitycurrec
no=22:numrecs=1
Any explanation ? Thanks, Norman
