Save both then you would be able to check availability information and anything else (like self reservation) that the webcat supports directly from the bibliography you were compiling.
On the other hand if you were compliing some kinds of bibliographical lists, provided the URL is stable across searches, you could keep the URL of the search instead of compling a static list. For instance http://130.130.68.7/search/ashakspeare+w/-6,0/exact&ashakespeare+william+156 4+1616&1,999 retrieves a listing of all works by Shakespeare held at the University of Wollongong - you mightn't like the format of the returned list but that is another matter.
