I can answer this:

http://www.google.com/search?q=link%3Aislandpines.roblib.upei.ca

The search in Google for "show me all pages that link to our
catalogue" shows as the fifth link "Island Studies | UPEI Robertson
Library" (library.upei.ca/reserves/islandstudies.html) which in turn
exposes an RSS feed containing selected books on that subject in the
SlimPac interface. From there (and similar reserves lists), Google
happily crawls through related authors, subjects, etc...
