[ILL-L] NFAC to Unfilled status

[Simone Schroder]

If only potential lenders would use 'conditional' for these - we could recheck the citation (just to be certain) and then let it go to the next lender.  But when the request is for a BOOK with a record in WorldCat, NFAC just makes no sense whatsoever.
