Hi Eric
I used an OCLC number match to get a sense of overlap at WFU -

http://www.erikmitchell.info/2011/05/07/more-on-hathitrust-overlap/.
As I recall I simply pulled the oclc numbers from the MARC files
(perhaps even just their spreadsheets) and did some simple database
querying.
More recently I have been working with the HT files using text
similarity measures (e.g. pylevenshtein) to compare holdings across
libraries. This takes a lot of CPU time but has proven to be a pretty
good way to compare holdings at a title level and I suppose with a
detailed enough text string (title, pub date, publisher...) you could
focus the comparison on expressions/manifestations rather than just
titles.
