</div>Ah, in that case maybe better to use one of the other values from<br>
<a href="https://geoiplookup.wikimedia.org/" target="_blank">https://geoiplookup.wikimedia.org/</a> and you could also support html5<br>

But maybe the OCLC side is currently only able to support location as<br>
a function of IP.<br>
