If it's your own symbol I guess you could dump your OPAC as MARC and
rifle through it with a script? If it's someone else's you could ask
them for a dump of their opac as MARC and rifle through it. I seem to
remember the Worldcat API had some support for giving holdings
information...

That probably wasn't very helpful, since it's probably not going to be
"quick" but sometimes the obvious answer isn't very obvious.
