The Library of Congress does spend a rather substantial amount of money each year to purchase materials and also actively goes after large collections/archives (either purchased or, better yet, donated). It also gets materials via exchanges from other libraries/governments. It still claims to be the world's largest library (although I seem to remember reading somewhere that the British Library is).
Regardless, searches of the Online Catalog can and do return no hits.
As for the original question about Melville, I would say do what you wish, but if the poetry is not included, the title should probably be changed.
