Erm- no!

Not necessarily!

Note: LCCN: "unk84174765". To quote an email that a LoC librarian sent me in another connection:

"The "unk" prefix -- designating "unknown" -- that appears as part of this item's Library control/accession number indicates that it is an "unverified" bibliographic record, i.e., a record originally created in anticipation of the acquisition of this score by the Library -- but an acquisition that [in the case of the symphony I was asking him about] apparently never materialized."

So the work may, or may not be there; but the presence of the entry in the LoC catalog is not in itself evidence that they have it, unless that "unk" is absent, I gather.
