[ILL-L] (no subject)

[joseph augustin]

My understanding is that "Reciprocal," in the policies directory, means you
automatically agree to lend free to all free and reciprocal libraries; and
that this agreement doesn't necessarily rely on arrangements made with
specific libraries and/or groups. We are part of several groups, and have
individual arrangements with many libraries that aren't part of them; but we
are "no" to reciprocal in the directory; because we don't want to give the
impression that we lend free to everyone who lends free or claims to be
reciprocal in the directory.
