Website: Worldcat is my friend

I've been using the OCLC - Library of Congress - Worldcat database of media since the early 2000's.
When I told my dear friend and qualified librarian at the ADFA library that it was my secret source for citations, she rolled her eyes and shook her head...
Okay, Worldcat is a publicly modifiable wiki. And that means garbage in, garbage out.
Example: You can get an APA citation style for the books. So the APA Publication Manual should be entered in the APA style, right?
How come, then, there are hundreds or thousands of entries for the same edition of each book depending on the year?
...And a note on the Law Citation book: APA is good for humanities and social issues, but if you ever have to do policy or law work for government it's good to know your law citation, just in case!
